Reta Duckworth, 89, passed away on November 23rd, 2018 in Newburgh, Indiana. She was born April 10th, 1929 in Mattoon, Kentucky to Ruby Opal and Robert Arflack.
Reta thoroughly enjoyed hand painting ceramic figures, listening to her son, Allen, play concerts as “Clif the Drifter”, and attending church. Most of all she loved her family with all her heart, and would get so excited to visit them, she would pack a bag months in advance.
Reta was always sharing stories about her life. One example is how she saw a baby chick being attacked by another chicken. She rushed out to save the chick and even kept it in her home until it was well enough to go back outside.
Reta is survived by children, Clifton Allen (Jean) Duckworth and Bruce (Norma) Duckworth; grandchildren Sabrina Ann (Cliff) McPherson, Michael (Tiffany) Duckworth, Mark (Melissa) Duckworth, Clifton Duckworth, Melodie Grace; and eleven great grandchildren.
Reta is preceded in death by her spouse of 51 years, Clifton Duckworth, and four siblings.
