Born on November 5, 1942, in Tishomingo County, Mississippi, Cleda was the beloved daughter of the late Dewey and Thunia Barnes. Raised in Counce, Tennessee, she graduated from Counce High School, she later married Ronnie Bert Rencher. Together, they created a loving home in Kossuth, where they raised their family and built a legacy of love and devotion. Cleda was a dedicated member of Union Baptist Church, where her faith and commitment to her community shone brightly. After a fulfilling career with the Alcorn County School System, she embraced retirement with enthusiasm, dedicating her time to her passions for painting, drawing, and reading. Cleda's artistic spirit and creativity were a reflection of her vibrant personality, and her works will forever be cherished by those who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ronnie Bert Rencher; her parents; and her sisters, Bonnie Stahl, Tess Jobe, Kathryn Voyles, Betty Johnson, and Donna Hopkins.

Cleda leaves behind a loving family, including her sons, Burton Rencher and Jeff Rencher (Sherry); her daughter, Jill Goodwin (Dean); and her cherished grandchildren, Taylor Rencher (Hannanh), Carys Goodwin, and Gunnar Goodwin. She is also survived by her sisters, Tommie Barnes, Patricia Lynn Dexter, Peggy Cooksey (Tommy), and Doris Willis (Bob); her sister-in-law, Clara Faye Lancaster; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss her dearly.

Her Nephews will serve as Pallbearers.
