 Private remembrance and graveside services are planned for Mrs. McClurkan. Place of rest will be in the Dickson Union Cemetery mausoleum.

Please no flowers, memorials are suggested to the charity of your choice.

Mrs. McClurkan, age 95, of Dickson, TN died peacefully July 18, 2020 at her home with her family by her side after a brief illness.

She was to be 96 years of age on August 18, 2020. She was blessed with remarkable health until her recent illness and maintained her irrepressible joy in life until she was swept away into God’s arms.

She was born on Yellow Creek in Dickson County, daughter of the late Robert Burn and Gertrude Wright Avriett. She attended Dickson High School. Alda Mai Avriett as she was known at sixteen met and married the love of her life, J. D. McClurkan. As a team they were always available to serve as “bonus” parents or grandparents for any child who came into their world and as teachers and life coaches for the adult children who sought their counsel.

Mrs. McClurkan retired from the United Methodist Board of Education after 28 years of service and then began her second career as an auctioneer.  She was of the Methodist faith. Besides her beloved husband J. D. and her parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Robert Avriett and Leonard Avriett, her two sisters, Geraldine Binkley and Marie Hudson.

Survivors include her daughter, Beverly McClurkan Wilson of Dickson, TN, her surrogate grandson and the light of her life, Terry Daniel Wilson of White House, TN and the adored Auntie and Uncle treasured nieces and nephews (each of which was their “favorite”.

Due to present health concerns, our family has chosen to have a private remembrance and graveside service. We regret we are unable to honor her life and share the memories of her many friends in person but we are comforted by knowing that the memory of her grace, caring and love are permanent in our hearts and can be celebrated by everyone who know her anytime and anyplace.
