Celebration of Life service for Rebecca “Sissy” Clouse, 45, of Spiro is 5 p.m. Thursday at the Mallory-Martin Funeral Home Chapel in Spiro with Pastor Steve Spyers officiating. Services are under the direction of Mallory-Martin Funeral Home of Spiro.
Rebecca was born on Oct. 26, 1979, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Shirley (Nichols) Clouse and Charles Clouse, and passed away on Aug. 17, 2025, in Conway, Arkansas.
Affectionately known to her family as “Sissy,” Rebecca loved to play the keyboard and had a joyful appreciation for music. Her keen hearing was legendary—her family loved to tell how she would laugh when they tried to sneak up on her, even on carpet. She treasured her role as an aunt and had a special fondness for anyone who brought her food. Juan lovingly spoiled her with McDonald’s, a Dr Pepper, or a cookie. Some of her favorite treats were nachos and M&M’s. Rebecca taught those around her the true meaning of compassion and love. The world may have called her handicapped, but her family knows that God created her perfect.
Surviving family members are her loving parents Charles and Shirley Clouse; siblings Bradley Clouse, David Clouse, Deborah Linker and husband Aaron, and Richard Clouse and wife Deana; nieces and nephews Madison Linker, Mason Clouse, Isabella Clouse, Katelyn Clouse, Creed Clouse, Alex Linker and Evan Linker; grand-nephew, Kingston Linker; special friend, Juan Alfaro; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, other relatives, and loved ones.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Barbara Misner, David Nichols, Beatrice Clouse, and Charles Clouse.
