Cleta E. Akers

August 20, 1930 - October 24, 2020

Cleta Evelyn Akers, A loving wife, incredible mother, and loved grandmother and great grandmother passed from this world Saturday, October 24, 2020. Born August 20, 1930 in Fort Scott Kansas, Cleta Killion Akers, lived a Christian life as a member of the Church of Christ, and loved every church family she was associated with during several moves throughout her life. Her love since childhood, Ken, whom she shared 64 years of marriage with, passed in 2014, and she was anxious to go to her heavenly home since losing him. Ken and Cleta married in 1950, and by 1959, had 4 children, Kenneth Michael Akers of Aurora, Colorado, Janice Akers-White of Granbury TX, Vic Allen Akers of North Richland Hills TX, and Tammy Akers-Worley of Bayview TX. Other surviving family includes grandchildren Chris Akers, Heidi White-Coker, Heather White-Leonard, Bronson Akers, and Mallory Akers-Fletcher, as well as 8 great-grandchildren, one of which is currently serving in the US Navy. Cleta worked several jobs throughout her life including clothing manufacturing, secretarial, sales associate, and lastly along side her husband in Akers Construction. Many in Corsicana may remember the family construction as well as the fireworks stand that the Akers operated on their property during their 25 years in that town. Her children would like everyone to know that our mother appreciated everyone that came into her life. The shoppers for fireworks, customers at the construction buying stepping stones or bird baths, her neighbors and fellow Christians. We will miss her loving arms, caring nature, and never ending concern for her children, but are thankful she is resting peacefully.
