Arline Francis Clark Ruckhaber, 86, passed away on Sunday, January 15, 2023 at Sanctuary Hospice in Tupelo.  Born in Culver City, CA on June 23, 1936, she was a daughter to Arthur Everett Clark and Doris Welton Howard.  For many years, she worked as a lab and X-ray technician in doctors’ offices while living in Alaska.  She married James Russell Ruckhaber in 1993 and enjoyed many years of dancing whether it be country & western, couple, line, square or round.  For 36 years, she taught many the art of all these dances. Arline had a creative touch and could do needle work, crochet afghans, and make quilts.  While outdoors, she’d drop a line to fish and for all these years, she liked to go gold prospecting.  She was a faithful, devoted member of Common Ground Christian Church.
