CLYDE COUCH SHIFLETT Age 83, died on April 5, 2004 following a brief illness.
She was born in Euharlee, Georgia, the youngest of eight children born to Wylie
and Bessie Couch. A lifelong Baptist, Mrs. Shiflett was a member of Dunwoody
Baptist Church. She cherished the many close friendships formed there. When
Mather, her husband of 58 years, died in 1998, she took over total management of
her home, but most importantly, her husband's rose garden. One of her joys was
to be able to give away armloads of beautiful blossoms from the 200+ bushes in
her yard. Everyone that knew her realized how much she loved her two cats,
"Muffin" and "Sir Thomas", who were her constant companions in the garden and in
the house. She was an avid reader, sometimes reading as much as a book a day.
Additionally, she loved puzzles of any kind. Beating her daughter at Scrabble
became a weekly goal during the past five years. Mrs. Shiflett is survived by
daughter and son-in-law, Elaine and Ben Dooley of Atlanta; a granddaughter and
grandson-in-law, Renee Dooley and Reid Yates of Decatur; a very special 6 month
old great-granddaughter, Clara Marie Yates, who was the delight of Mrs.
Shiflett's life; and several nieces and nephews. Memorial contributions may be
made to: Northside Hospital Foundation, 1000 Johnson Ferry Road, Atlanta, GA
30342; or Hospice Atlanta, 1244 Park Vista Drive, NE, Atlanta, GA 30319. Online
tributes may be made at www.mem.com. Funeral services will be Thursday, April 8,
2004 at 11 o'clock at Dunwoody Baptist Church with the family receiving friends
from 10 to 11 o'clock at the church. Interment, Arlington Memorial Park. The
family will also receive friends Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 o'clock at H.M.
Patterson and Son, Arlington Chapel, 173 Allen Rd., (404) 851-9900.
