KATHERINE JEANETTE WALKER CLOMAN, 93, passed away Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at her home. A child of God beloved mother, grandmother, great- grandmother, aunt, friend, homemaker, Booker T. Washington alumnus, member of the Eastern Star Order, University of Memphis basketball fan, Atlanta Braves fan, and fan of both the Price is Right and the current Let’s Make a Deal shows were all labels that brought joy to her heart. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clarence Cloman. Mrs. Cloman, long-time resident of the Magnolia-Barksdales community will be fondly remembered as the “Snowball Lady”. She took an idea that her children wanted to do one summer and turned it into a two-year lesson in economics. She was adored and admired by the community. She was a long time member of Magnolia First Baptist Church which she loved. Her loss of hearing and failing health lessened her activeness, but not her faith. She began to use her good penmanship and writing skills to connect with people. She used this home ministry to make others happy, but she in turn was made happy. She leaves three children, Carolyn Cloman Moore, Patricia Cloman Thomas, David Cloman and a host of family and friends. Visitation services will be held at M J Edwards Airways from 5-8 p.m., Friday, February 4. Celebration of life services will be noon Saturday, February 5 at Magnolia Baptist Church.
