Clitha Mae AKA "Pie Tail" was a fun loving, ornery, and funny character. There was no limit to the effort she put into making others laugh. If you met her, you never forgot her. As a mother, she loved fiercely and unconditionally, but would put her foot down or up when and however needed. Frankly, instilled a healthy fear in us. As a wife, she didn't know the meaning of the word quit, she gave 110% all the time and probably wore the pants just as much.
