Mackie Clark Salmon

Mackie Clark Salmon, 80, got his “angel wings” on August 16, 2019.

Services were held on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, in Robertson Funeral Directors Saints’ Roost Chapel in Clarendon. Burial followed in Citizens Cemetery in Clarendon.

Arrangements are under the direction of Robertson Funeral Directors of Clarendon.

Mackie was born July 20, 1939. He grew up at Brice and went to school at Lakeview. At 16, he moved to Cedar Park near Austin where he spent most of his life. After retirement, he moved to Amarillo at Brookdale Senior Living then to Memphis Convalescent the past years.

As a child, Mackie was kicked in the head by a horse and consequently had a reading disability. He worked for the post office for more than 30 years. The post master wrote him letters of thanks for never being late nor absent from work for 20 years and 30 years. Mackie was “Mister Clean”. He was always neat and clean. He bought a home which he kept spotless with everything in place. He polished his vehicles after every ride. When he drove home he would wash, wax, and polish everyone’s vehicle and give us warnings that our vehicles would last longer if we took better care of them. Mackie loved to rollerskate and took his neighbor kids with him. He became like a father figure to some attending their ballgames, etc. Mackie liked the Dallas Cowboys, cars, and horses. He will be sorely missed by all.

Mackie was preceded in death by his parents, Roland and Henrietta Edens Salmon; a brother, Nolan Salmon and wife Sue Keever Salmon; a niece, Linnie Salmon Crosnoe; and a sister, Gaye Salmon Galvan.

Mackie is survived by his sister, Sammie Salmon Goodwin Doering of Clarendon; a niece, Gina Goodwin Dilly and husband Tom and daughter, Lauren Dilly of Rockford, Michigan; a niece, Gail Galvan and nephew Greg Galvan of Atascadero, California; grand niece, Bailey Crosnoe and grand nephew, Brayden Crosnoe of Frisco; and a nephew in law, Steve Crosnoe of Frisco.
