cleon

a friend inspired me to write about my dad's mother...my grandma cleon

she was a piece of work she was!
born in'12
middle child
lost her daddy in the 1918 flu outbreak
exceptional gardener
spoke her mind...like it or not!
20's "flapper"
"fit the description" of bonnie parker....so the cops said when they stopped her one day....
loved her only son
grieved for her only daughter betty evelyn,only 18 months old.....
spoiled her six grandchildren
always said "well i'm a-tellin you!"
made her tea real sweet
made us laugh all the time
miss her eccentricities
remember when she went into the mr m store..bought ALL the chocolate milk...the clerk protested, and she said "i'm PAYIN for it aren't i?"
i loved her gumption!
miss you cleon....
