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.
