Cleta worked at DMH for 38 years working her way up from a transcriptionist to Director of Medical Records. After her retirement she transferred to John Warner Hospital in Clinton, where she worked until her illness. She was an avid Cubs fan and took no guff from the Card fans that teased her. She liked cross words and reading. Cleta cherished her 4 grandchildren Kayla (Daniel) Butler of Texas, Zack Trimby, Kara Trimby and Shelby Fryman of Decatur. Her joy was to take the to the theater always spending more on popcorn drinks and goodies than the tickets themselves. She is survived by her 2 sons, Greg (Cindy) Trimby and Erick (Trisha) Heft of Decatur, sisters, Nancy McKown of Texas and Juanita Goodrich of Moweaqua, brothers, George (Judy) Wright of Decatur, Ira "Bud" (Carman) Wright of California, Don (Diane) Wright of Texas. Her parents and one brother (Steven) preceded her in death. She was loved by us and will be deeply missed. Please sign the family guestbook.
