Christine Laverne Cloughly

Christine Laverne "Grandma" Cloughly was born on November 16, 1926, in Dixie, Oklahoma (Stephens County), to Nancy Melvina (McIntire) and Edgar Taylor Dunn. She entered Heaven on June 18, 2025, at the age of 98.
Laverne graduated from Velma-Alma High School in Oklahoma where she excelled on the basketball court. A long-time resident of Seguin, she built a successful career as a bookkeeper at Brawner, Brawner and Brown. She was a faithful and devoted member of First Baptist Church, where she found great strength and fellowship throughout her life.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her ten siblings (who affectionately called her Tootsie); many beloved nieces and nephews; and her daughter-in-law, Ruth Cloughly, wife of her son Ernest.
Laverne is survived by her loving children: Patricia Laverne Weir and husband, Larry; Reva Carol Kolenovsky and husband, Mitchell; and Ernest Marion Cloughly, Jr. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Lisa Weir; Laura Pellerin and husband, Bobby; Jeffrey Weir and wife, Kerry; Angela Porter and husband, Mike; Kelly Legler and husband, Chris; Travis Cloughly and wife, Carrie; and Jason Elliot. Her thirteen great-grandchildren will carry forward her legacy of love, faith, and family: Cheney, Chandler, Thatcher, Ashtyn, Drew, Ledger, Mildred, Fowler, Hudson, Della, Ryan, Kimberlyn, and Andy.
Our Mom and Grandma found joy in sewing beautiful clothes for her daughters, always taking pride in the details that made them feel special. A meticulous homemaker, she was known for keeping an immaculate home and a perfectly groomed yard. She loved to travel with her friends, cherishing every adventure and the laughter they shared along the way. More than anything, she loved watching her grandchildren and great grandchildren grow-cheering them on from the stands at ball games, applauding from the audience at performances, and celebrating every milestone with deep pride and affection.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Heart to Heart Hospice and her compassionate caregivers: Nancy Garcia, Mary Perez, and Julia Valdez
