Clara Mae McKinney, age 86, of Bumpus Mills, TN, passed away Saturday, December 21, 2019 at her home after an extended illness.

She was also the wife of the late Paul Scott of Bumpus Mills, TN for 46 years and Raymond Howell of Cadiz, KY for 12 years.
She was a happy and blessed homemaker with a servant's heart that was given to hospitality and welcoming guests into her home throughout her lifetime. Her forte was in the kitchen; a master cook unsurpassed by any other and she had quite the fan base for her cooking. She was a "straight talker" with a warm, loving heart and giving sprit. She was a pleasure to get to know, and it was an honor to love and be loved by her. She was a faithful Christian lady and a life-long member of Joiner's Chapel Church of Christ, Trigg County, KY.
