Mary Ann McClure's Obituary
Mary Ann McClure, beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2025 in Tulsa, OK. She was born on May 6, 1936 in Kurthwood, LA to parents Charles and Clarice McClure.
Her legacy lives on through her children: Dewitt McClure of Langley, Ok, Benjamin McClure of The Woodlands, TX, Jo Ann McClure-Huml of Houston, TX, John McClure of Tulsa, Thomas McClure of Richmond, VA, Melissa Frazier of Tulsa, and Henry Powers of Tulsa, her grandchildren: Courtney, Kelsey, Sasha, Christopher, Jeremiah, Jonathan, Holly, Amanda, Thomas, Jesse, Clarice and Olympia, and her great grandchildren: Malena, Xavier, Aaliyah, Hunter, Isabella, Travis, Thomas, Elijah, Luke, Gabriel, Addy Kate, and Kaden.
She joins in eternal rest her daughter Mary Powers, her parents and her siblings: Charles McClure, Kenneth McClure, and Gwen Spaugh. A strong graceful swimmer she found happiness in and around all bodies of water. She shared her love of swimming and adventure with her children and grandchildren especially during memorable spontaneous drives with her grandchildren-joyfully calling them "let's go get lost" trips-where the journey mattered more than the destination and became family legends.
She will be remembered for her talent in the kitchen, filling it with the delicious aromas of Southern foods, her zest for life and sense of playfulness that touched everyone she met. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.
