Mr Dodie will truly be missed. May faith give the family strength, may prayers 🙏 bring the family comfort. Collins and Mary Clarkson

Extending our sincere condolences to the McClary and Burwell Family. Mr. Dodie McClary was an amazing and loving Patriarch. He loved and cherished his wife, Mrs. Annie McClary. He was a loving and fierce protector of his family. Moreover, he was a child of God, that lived by example----teaching his children Christian values such as honesty, integrity, hard work, and the power of prayer and devotion. His laughter, smile and kind words leave fond memories for so many of us. He will be tremendously missed. Another angel has entered into the heavenly realms. Well Done Thy Good and Faithful servant. Rest in eternity Mr. McClary. Sincerely, SFC (Ret) Michael and Mrs. Dianne Gray
