Earlene Clark Estes

Born to the late Earl and Ruby Clark on January 6, 1934 in Drew, Mississippi. She shared her birthday with her late, younger brother Gary "Joe" Clark.

Earlene was our wife, mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-Christ and wonderful friend to many. She had a personality that many knew, a smile that would light up a room and a laugh that was infectious. To know her was to love her. Earlene was a socialite of Greenwood, MS and her hometown, Shaw, MS.

She married the love of her life, James T. "Shack" Estes of Noxapater, MS where she spent the best and last years of her life. Together, they had a love for their family and spent many a day fishing the Ross Barnett Reservoir and the Tombigbee Waterway. They had a great group of friends that they enjoyed camping with and were frequents at Timberlake campground at the Reservoir.

Earlene had a love for entertaining. Whether it was playing dominos or cards with the family or having fish fries with friends after a day of fishing, or playing Bridge; she was always a joy.
