Marie Cloyd
April 26, 1926 — April 12, 2013
The celebration of life for Marie Irene (Venn) Cloyd will be held at Riverside Church of Christ in Burlington, Oklahoma on Monday, April 15, 2013 at 10 a.m. with Jeff Keele officiating. Burial will be in Riverside Cemetery near Burlington. Viewing will be Sunday 2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. with family present 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Marie was one of twelve children born at home to Thomas A. and Mary (Shields) Venn on April 26, 1926. She grew up on the family farm and graduated from Jet High School. World War II took her to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma where she worked for the armed services as an office clerk. After the war she married the love of her life, Ray Cloyd on October 20, 1946. Opportunities moved them first to Humbolt, Kansas and later back to their roots in Alfalfa County. They settled into the ranch life operating the T-Bone Ranch near Byron.
Proverbs 31 describes her life on the ranch and her relationship to her husband, Ray and their three children, Joelle, Naomi and Jimmie. She was an industrious, creative and entrepreneurial woman. Idleness never existed in her household as she assisted her husband in managing the ranch. Adding to her skill of sewing she learned to upholster. Her hobby turned into a successful business called Cloyd’s Upholstery Shop. Her work can be found in homes from Kansas to Texas and she was still taking in work at the age of 86..
Marie loved working with her hands and her love for gardening was rewarded when she won the state gardening contest. Her success in life and genuine quality of awesome faith and commitment to her Lord is recognized through the hundreds of acknowledgements in her honor. Marie went to be with her Lord on April 12, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
She is survived by her three children: her daughter, Joelle (Cloyd) Cannon and husband, Kenneth of Decatur, Texas; their sons, Wesley Cannon and wife, Kris (Williams) of Decatur; their children, Samuel and Ava; David Cannon and wife, Sandra, and their children, Seth, Ashley and Amber; her daughter, Naomi (Cloyd) Goodridge, and son, Michael Cloyd and wife, Johanna, of Cherokee; children Matthew, Whitney, Ezekiel, Adam, David and Michael; daughter, Christina Meeks and husband, Thomas and their children, Audrey, Emily and Robert; her son, Jimmie Cloyd and wife, Vickie (Stewart); their sons, Curt Cloyd and his wife, Melinda (Hess) of Woodward; their children, Braton, Brycen, Brailee and Brennley; Jason Cloyd and wife, Jeanine of Kiowa, Kansas and their children, Tanner and Kassidy.
