Anna McClung Fouts

Anna Pearl McClung Fouts, age 79, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, died on December 23, 2017. She was born on March 31, 1938 in the city of East Point to Ottis Lacester McClung and Ina Pearl Hemperley McClung. Her love of God, family and friends was unsurpassed. In 1956, she graduated from Sebring High School in Sebring, Florida. Upon graduation, Anna met James Ray Fouts whom she married on September 23, 1956. While raising their family, she had many jobs which included being a School Crossing Guard, a United States Postal Carrier and a Kindergarten Teacher; however, she was most proud of being the Director of the Clarkston Baptist Church Preschool, from which she retired. Anna led scout troops for many years. She was a Den Mother in the Cub Scouts and led troops in various age levels in the Girl Scouts. Loving to sing, she led the music each summer at Girl Scout Day Camp, which is how she acquired the nickname, “Bird”. She was deeply honored to receive the Thanks Badge, which is the highest award given by the Girl Scouts of America. This award recognizes exceptional commitment, leadership and service that have had a measurable impact on the entire council or the entire Girl Scout movement. Scouting is where she made friendships that lasted throughout her adult life. She dearly loved her sisters in the Adult Scout Club. In August 2004, she founded Stone Mountain Red Hatters (Not Taken for Granite!), a chapter of the Red Hat Society, and more sisters were added to her family. She loved being Queen in all her finery!
