She was born in Lawton, Oklahoma on the 16th of June 1921, to Joseph Clark and Eula McNeeley Clark. She was married to the late Jesse Cogburn and worked at the Renova Shirt Factory as well as a homemaker most of her life. She was an avid outdoorswoman, enjoying her time outdoors in Shady hunting and 4-wheeling, when she wasn’t quilting with the ladies! She was first and foremost dedicated to her family and she and Jesse raised three children between Oregon, Indiana, and Arkansas, while Arkansas was always her favorite. She most loved spending time with her family and friends, and she was, in turn as special to them, and will be so very missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Eula Clark, her husband, Jesse Cogburn, Sr, a son, Larry Cogburn, a brother, Leroy Clark, three sisters, Bonnie Estus, Opal Cogburn and Eleanor Clark, and two infant Siblings.
