A catered lunch was provided by No. 423 Smoke- house and the afternoon was spent vis- iting and catching up with each other. A memorial table was set for all of the classmates who have passed away. A candle was lit and each name was read by Teresa (Cockerham) Walters who also offered a prayer for the af- ternoon. Classmates and spouses attending were Tim Beck; Patti Buchta; Del- la (Catt) Thacker; John and Teresa (Cockerham) Walters; Joe Don Davis; Mike Eck; Kitty Fulcher; Bob Gladish; Joe and Cindy Grable; Julie (Haire) and Jim Burdette; Danny and Tam- mie (Hamm) Evans; David Henson; Arilla Jane ( Johnson) Turpen; Cathy (McCormick) Eckert; Tom and Tina (Meadors) Weisman; Kenny and Don- na Meece; Ricardo and Connie (Null) Salvat; Brent and Arteena (Selby) Ro- throck; Tim Sickman; Ronnie Skinner; Carol Sue Sutton; Denny and Annette (Traylor) Eversoll and Mike and Rob- in Whaley. Descendants of Mer- lin Racy and Lola May (Ramsey) Stuckey came to- gether in the Odon Commu- nity Building in Odon. The Stuckey Gathering, celebrat- ing the children, grandchil- dren and great-grandchil- dren of the seven siblings has been every five years since 1993. Three of the six surviving cousins of the sev- en siblings, a second cousin, and a third cousin was also in attendance. One hundred and one family members were pres- ent on Sunday afternoon, Ju- ly 1, 2018, coming from In- diana, Illinois, Ohio, Ken- tucky, Kansas, Michigan, Virginia, Minnesota and North Carolina. Hostesses were Cheryl Stuckey, Ver- la (Stuckey) Stucker and Cyndy (Stuckey) Nichol- son, the daughters of Sam, Dwight and Dayton, re- spectively. The oldest de- scendant in attendance was Marjorie (Stuckey) Anger- er, 96, of Franklin, Ind. and the youngest was Malachi Andrew, 10 months, son of Andrew and Brooke (Len- gacher) Stuckey, of Mont- gomery, Ind. Alan Stuckey (son of Day- ton) blessed the bountiful food prepared by the fam- ilies. Picture albums, in- cluding those in the family who have served in the mil- itary over the years, Stuck- ey cookbooks, family hand- iwork, recipe files and ge- nealogy scrapbooks were provided for everyone's en- joyment, as well as a twenty- foot long family tree chart, assembled by Deana (Bur- dette) and Katie Kearns, showing how each member of the family fits. The re- cords showed that there had been eight marriages, sev- en deaths, and seven births in the family since the last gathering in 2013. A fter the meal, everyone turned their attention front and center to listen to matri- arch Helen (Stuckey) Bur- dette as she explained that 80 years ago, when she was ten years old, she'd recited a poem from memory for the Stuckey Reunion. The long poem, found in the pages of an old 4-H Handbook, was entitled "The Twinkle in My Daddy's Eye." She recited it again, and flawlessly, for the 2018 Stuckey family, prefac- ing this by saying that any of us who knew her dad- dy, (Racy Stuckey), knew he always had a twinkle in his eye. It was the whipped cream and cherry on top of an ice cream sundae kind of day. The descendants were honored by the presence of four of the five Stuck- Pictured here are Helen (Stuckey) Burdette, Marjorie (Stuckey) Angerer, Georgia (Stuckey) Mason and Lois (Marshall) Stuckey.
