CLOVIS EVALEA POFF HANKWITZ, 91, went home to be with the Lord Saturday morning, May 10, 2014. She was born October 1, 1922, to Houston and Olive Poff in Lindsey Hill, Stone County, Arkansas. Clovis grew up in a loving home with three brothers and three sisters. While attending Mountain View School, she met and later married her sweetheart, M. F. "Buddy" Hankwitz. They raised a beautiful, talented daughter, Carolyn.

Clovis had an endearing personality, and never met a stranger. She loved sewing, cooking, gardening, cross-stitching and Skip Bo. Many people were blessed by her personal gifts and service. Her family and friends were the great joys of her life. She and her family were members of the First United Methodist Church, where they attended and served for many years.

Clovis was preceded in death by her husband, M. F. "Buddy" Hankwitz; an infant son; daughter, Carolyn Joan Williams; a grandson, Guy Douglas McDonald; parents, Houston and Olive Poff; brothers, Bryce and Jack Poff; and a sister, Mavis Poff Kemp.
She is survived by her brother, Herbert (wife Maxine) Poff, Betty (Poff) Cartwright, and Iva Nell (Poff) and husband, Junior Risner; along with more loving family and friends than can be listed.

Clovis loved family reunions. Those of us who loved her will miss her, but we rejoice in her greatest reunion of all.
