Obituary for Pluma Cluck (Atwell)
Pluma Mae Cluck passed away on September 24, 2019. She was born in Crawford County Arkansas on March 25, 1927 to humble Christian parents Roland and Minnie Atwell. She was preceded in death by her parents and her youngest son, Dowell Cluck. She moved to Monett, Missouri with her husband and two sons in 1962. She worked as a floor Supervisor at the Jurenta Shoe co. in Aurora, Missouri and also worked at Vaisey Bristol Shoe Co. in Monett, Missouri retiring from there in 1977. She moved back home to Arkansas in 1985 and lived out her life in Mountainburg. She was a Sunday School teacher for several years at the Free Will Baptist Church there and is currently a member of the First Baptist Church in Mountainburg.
She loved being around people and socializing. Even if she wasn’t feeling well she would seldom miss a social event and she would always be energized by it seeming to be as happy and having as good a time as anyone else. If she met a stranger they weren’t strangers for long. It would soon seem is if they must have been old friends. She had the same effect on children. She had a strong love for family and she came from large families on both sides with long histories in Crawford County. If she met someone new whose family had roots in Crawford County there was a good chance that she would figure out how they were a cousin.
She is survived by one son, Dale Cluck and wife Karol of Mountainburg; one granddaughter Ann Gayle and husband Ricky Gayle of Butler; one grandson Rick Cluck and wife Kimberly Cluck of Mountainburg; seven great-grandchildren; Brynn and Seth Baughman, Jacob Anderson and Amaya Gayle all of Pennsylvania, Whitney Waggoner of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Stevie Cluck of Mountainburg and one step great granddaughter, Karla Fortner, of Mississippi and a host of other relatives.
Funeral services will be 11AM, Saturday September 28, 2019 at Ocker Funeral Home of Alma with burial at Morrison Cemetery in Mountainburg under the direction of Ocker Funeral Home in Van Buren.
Pallbearers will be Mark LaRue, Bill LaRue, Rick Cluck, Jacob Anderson, Seth Baugham and Richard Mirus.
Family will visit with relatives and friends Friday, September 27, 2019 from 5-7 PM at Ocker Funeral Home of Alma, 917 Highway 64 East, Alma.
