Chlotine Felker (nee Blackburn), of Saint Peters, MO, passed away Thursday, May 6, 2021 at the age of 90.

Born June 16, 1930, in Burdette Arkansas to the late Bob and Evelyn Blackburn, Chlotine Blackburn was one of nine children. She spent her childhood in the farming communities of southeast Missouri and resided most recently in St Charles, Missouri.

Chlotine is preceded in death by her husband Bryan Andrew Felker, her infant son, four brothers - Billy Gene Blackburn, Tommy Gene Blackburn, James Robert Blackburn, Joe Franklin Blackburn and two sisters, Ernestine Hood and Judy R. Hargiss.

Chlotine is survived by her brother Charles Taylor Blackburn, her sister Patricia Ann Tucker, three daughters - Janet Lynn (Michael) Bunch, Sherry Renee (G. Dean) Arthaud, Teresa Anne Miller, and loving friend Thomas Allen Miller. She is also survived by twelve grandchildren – Anthony Franklin, Bob (Heather) Bunch, Shelly Bunch, Joshuah Kuttenkuler, David Kuttenkuler, Caleb (Bailey) Kuttenkuler, Nathan Kuttenkuler, Josiah Kuttenkuler, Abram (Ciara) Kuttenkuler, Hannah (Morgan) Benedict, Rachel Kuttenkuler, and Joey Kuttenkuler, Jr.; four great grandchildren – Evan Bunch, Aubrey Bunch, Grace Bunch, Canaan Benedict, and numerous nieces and nephews.

For many years Chlotine was an avid churchgoer and loved attending religious singings. In later years she focused that energy on spiritual television and books of faith and miracles.

Chlotine enjoyed keeping flowers around her patio and watching the hummingbirds that frequented the kitchen window of her home. She embraced technology and began surfing the internet on her television with a Web TV unit long before laptops were prevalent. In more recent years her iPad and iPhone were never far away. As many of us know, she used them day or night, lol!

Chlotine also enjoyed crafts and puzzles. She enjoyed many hours at her dining room table working puzzles into the wee hours of the morning. She was very enthusiastic about the St Louis Cardinals. Though the last game she attended was with the assistance of a wheelchair, she had an adventurous ride back to her car in an open-air shuttle and a good time was had by all!

All of her family loved when she put her wonderful country cooking skills to work and prepared a big holiday meal. Recently she shared the story of the origin of her famous hot tamales while teaching the family how to prepare them.
