Anyone who knew Cleta knew she had many great talents, but two of her most soul touching gifts were devoting her life to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the other was playing the piano beautifully. Everyone who had the opportunity to sit down and listen to her play knew she had a God given talent that she loved to spread. She was a loving mother and wife. Anyone who knew her knew she always loved to have her Dr. Pepper every day. She loved to sing and had a favorite song we all use to listen to when she played it and it was "God on the Mountain".
