Obituary
CLIFFORD LOVE DUGAN, age 83, a resident of Wyatt died at 11:50 a.m. Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at the Missouri Veterans Home in Cape Girardeau.
He was born November 6, 1927 at Vinegar Hill near Wyatt to the late David Lawrence and Daisy Brown Dugan. He graduated from Charleston High School in 1945 and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1946. He often laughed about the fact the Army chose to train him to be an instructor for snow skiing and mountain climbing while stationed at Camp Carson, CO despite the fact he was from the flat land of Southeast Missouri. Following his discharge in 1948, he returned to Wyatt where he and his brother, Glennon Dugan, farmed together as owners and operators of Dugan Brothers Farm until 1978. From that time until his retirement in 1992, he farmed with his two youngest sons. He was a member of the Wyatt United Methodist Church, had served as a Director of the Scott, New Madrid, Mississippi County R.E.A. from June 1989 –May 2007, and was a member of the Brewers Lake Angling and Outing Club.
On July 12, 1951 he married Shirley Townsend Dugan who survives of the home.
Surviving are four sons and daughters in law, Cliff and Christie Dugan of Plano, TX, Chris and Susy Dugan of Wyatt, Clay and Melissa Dugan and Clark and Sophie Dugan all of Charleston; nine grandchildren, Bryan (Julie) Dugan, Matthew Dugan, Emily Dugan, Hunter Dugan, John Dugan, and David Dugan all of Charleston, Garett (Amanda) Dugan of Cape Girardeau, Scott (Amy) Dugan of Bertrand, and Sarah (Brooks) Kelley of Sikeston ; three great grandchildren, Connor Dugan and Stella-Grace Dugan of Charleston, and Gavin Dugan of Bertrand.
