Baytown Sun, The (TX) - November 9, 2004
Deceased Name: Karlene Travis McClelland

Karlene Travis McClelland 79 of Georgetown,Texas, formerly of Baytown,TX passed away Sunday November 7, 2004. The youngest of four children born to Archie and Willie Olivia Travis, Karlene was born September 11, 1925 in the small farming community of Sunrise located in Forrest, Co., MS.

After graduation from Petal High School, Karlene worked several years in retail sales. A job change was in the making when at a USO facility a young USA Sgt Claude N McClelland was introduced to a lady with the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen. The introduction began a courtship engagement and a loving and happy marriage that lasted just a few days short of 58 years.

Karlene's goal in life was to establish a comfortable loving home. She succeeded in that goal with first a comfortable, loving home for she and Claude, then later expanded it as daughters, Olivia and Claudia were born. Her excellent sewing ability early on was directed to sewing for the girls then was diverted to quilting when the girls left home. A goodly number of quilts went to the daughters, her sister, nieces and special friends. In addition to quilting, Karlene greatly enjoyed raising flowers and the travels she and Claude made together.

In addition to her parents, Karlene was predeceased by siblings Archie Maurice Travis, Nettie Perkins and William David Travis, all of Petal, MS. She is survived by husband Claude, daughters Olivia of Guerneville,CA, Cladia of Austin, Brother in law Faye Perkins of Petal, MS and anumber of nieces and nephews, all of Petal, MS.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday November 9, 2004 from 6-8 PM at The Gabriels Funeral Chapel. A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday November 10,2004 at 10:00 A.M. with Pastor David Griffin of The First Baptist Church of Georgetown, officiating. at The Gabriels Funeral Chapel, 393 N.
