Delsa "Duck" Polk Willcutt Obituary

Delsa “Duck” Polk Willcutt, 89, of Atkins went to the Lord Saturday, April 16, 2011 at St. Mary’s Hospital. She was born September 28, 1921, the daughter of Sam Daniel Polk and Viana Hartwick Polk. She was the widow of the late Edd Willcutt of Atkins and attended the Church of Christ in Bells Chapel. She loved gardening and country-life. She had many stories of the good ol’ days that will be lost through time. She loved her family and friends and will be sorely missed by all. Her dad, Sam, gave her the nickname of “Duck” when she was 2 years old. When he said that she waddled like a duck when she walked, it stuck, and all her family and friends knew her by that name. Duck was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; three brothers, Sammy Polk, Nelse Polk and Manuel Gooden; two sisters, Elsie Willcutt and Elvie McBride; a son, William Earl Willcutt; two grandsons, Darrell Wayne Willcutt and Richard Lee Willcutt; a granddaughter, Deborah Kaye Hendrix; and a daughter-in-law, Ola Willcutt. Survivors include four sons and three daughters-in-law; Thomas Edward, and Eddie Ray and Pauletta of Witter, Johnny and Anita and Robert and Sheila of Atkins; two daughters and sons-in-law, Delsa and Gerald Davis and Katheryn and Don Hendrix; daughter-in-law, Marilyn Willcutt, all of Atkins; 23 grandchildren, 45 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be 1:00 PM Wednesday, April 20 at Lemley Funeral Chapel with Robert Hearne officiating. Burial is in Bells Chapel Cemetery. Visitation is Tuesday from 6-8:00 PM at Lemley Funeral Home. Pallbearers will be the grandsons. Honorary pallbearers are Paul Pratt, Bobby Bewley, Jim Fryer, Floyd Fryer, Lawrence Hankins and Larry Bowden. May God bless us and keep us.
