    Sister McClain was such a special saint. Such a legacy she leaves behind. Our prayers are with the entire family as you celebrate her “home-going”.

At 12:10pm on August 13, 2020, our precious mother, Wilma Pearl McClain, took the hand of her Savior, Jesus Christ, and made the transition to Heaven.  We rejoice that she is completely whole in every sense, but our hearts are also heavy.

Dr. Richard (Wava) McClain, Paul (Lori) McClain, Perry McClain, and Joy McClain.  She leaves six grandchildren: Maria (Gavin) Brothers, Greg McClain, Kevin McClain, Tiffany McClain, Christy (Benjamin) Clark, and Julie (Vanya) Luttrell.  Wilma also had five great grandchildren that will be missing her: Chayton Brothers, Kaleb Kuehn, Keegan Kuehn, Kenna Brothers, and Bella McClain. Wilma will also be leaving behind a sister, June (Steve) McCart, several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
