Virginia McClellan

Virginia Ruth McClellan, 88, of Excelsior Springs, MO, passed away peacefully on February 18, 2016, surrounded by family and friends.

Virginia was born March 7, 1927, in Purdin, MO, to the late Gail & Elizabeth Zimmerman. On May 15, 1949, she married Willard “Mac” McClellan, who preceded her in death in 1996.

Virginia was a loving and devoted housewife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She enjoyed working crossword puzzles and adding to her teddy bear collection. Her smile and sly sense of humor brightened the lives of all those she met.

She was also preceded in death by two brothers; Robert and Richard.

Survivors include one sister, Dorothy Smith, Washington; a son, Michael, Arkansas; a daughter, Mary, Excelsior Springs; two granddaughters, Jennifer (Joey) Frost, Lawson, and Janette (John) King, Lathrop; three very special “honorary” daughters, Vicki Pollard, Lawson, Sharon O’Dell, Excelsior Springs, and Robin Bogart, Holt; and several great-grandchildren.

Graveside Service will be Tuesday, February 23, 2016, at 2pm at Laclede Cemetery, Laclede, MO. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to Subiaco Abbey, 405 N Subiaco Ave, Subiaco, AR 72865.
