Carla Sledge
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of mother, daughter, sister and beloved friend Carla J. Sledge on Wednesday November 15th, 2017 at the age of 64 years old.
A Toledo, Ohio native who relocated to East St. Louis, Illinois, early in life, Carla leaves an enormous whole in the lives of all she touched; whether it be friends and coworkers or her beloved family members. Carla is a graduate of E. St. Louis Lincoln Senior High School and subsequently Mildred Louise Business College. She entered the professional workforce at Mental Health of St. Clair County and Gateway Medical Center along with a career as an executive assistant with St. Louis University and Washington University. Known as "Sister Sledge", a professional woman always dressed to the nines who tackled anything this life threw her way she will be dearly missed by all. Most recently Carla had relocated to Wichita, Kansas, with her son Dion due to illness.
Preceding her in passing are her mother, Selma Irene Clemons; father, Fred Clemons; and sisters, Cynthia Love and Freddie Clemons.
She is survived by her son, Dion L. Sledge; sister, Annetta Clemons; and brother, Maurice Clemons.
