Most of all, Barbara loved spending time with her family.

McClenic of Courtland; daughter, Barbara Swindle (Mike) of Batesville; son, Ray McClenic of Courtland; three sisters, Linda Peeples of Courtland, Juanita Grindstaff of Grantsburg, IL, and Sandra Kerley of Grantsburg, IL; a brother, Phil Mahan of Aurora, IL; seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be sent to Courtland Baptist Church, 230 East Railroad St., Courtland, MS 38620.
