Cleta Fern Stump, age 67, Mound City, Kansas passed away on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 at her home. Cleta was born September 16, 1950 at Fort Scott, Kansas to Clyde and Alice (Jackman) DeMott. She attended Mound City High School. On June 16, 1967 she married Otis Ray Wisdom. They had three children, Louri, Kristina, and Daniel, before divorcing. On February 2, 1985 Cleta married Thomas Stump. For 33 years he has loved and cared for her. He loved her children and grandchildren as if they were his own. They returned his love, as he has been such a great part of their lives. This mutual love and respect will continue even after her passing. Over the years Cleta has enjoyed many things including quilting, crocheting, and baking. She made delicious goodies everyone loved including brownies, cookies, cakes, and her, and everyone else''s favorite, chocolate covered candy balls! Cleta inherited her love of riding horses and being a country girl from her father. She also loved taking off down the road on her trike with her husband and feeling the wind in her hair! She loved animals unconditionally. At her passing she had two dogs, Lucy and Wally; four parrots, Charlie, Crackers, Peppers, and Toby who were all like her children and brought her so much love and joy. However, it was her children and grandchildren to which she had undying devotion and unconditional love. There is not one thing that she wouldn''t have done for any of them. She just truly loved being with them, having fun, laughing, joking or getting them all to together to go out to eat or go shopping. Cleta was preceded in death by her parents, and two aunts, Cecilia DeMott and Cleta Dixon. Survivors include her husband Thomas Stump of the home; three children, Louri Darringer of Mound City, and Kristina Wright and husband Steve, and Daniel Wisdom and girlfriend Jessica all of Amoret, Missouri; three brothers, Delton DeMott of Wichita, Winford DeMott of Fort Scott, and Roger DeMott of La Cygne; five grandchildren, Nicolas Shasteen, Devyn Henkle, Stevie Wright, Sam Darringer, Maureen Pardee; and two great-grandchildren, Arriana Jo and Clara Valentine Pardee.
