Clydell was a very dear friend of ours from Woodville Heights. We were in church together for years.and we will always treasure the good times we had Sorry we couldn't be with you but Haller fell and broke his leg and we were in the hospital at the time she passed away.
Children, hang on to the good memories. They will get you through some bad times.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers today and in the days ahead.
Love,
Haller & Kathryn Hutchins

Clydell lived next door to us on Fairway Drive. I remember her so very fondly, she was a wonderful neighbor and friend to me and to my parents. May you all remember the good times and may they bring you comfort.
May Her Memory Be Eternal!

Clydell was a schoolmate of mine at Gloster High School. She was a fun loving, kind person who brought joy to others-full of life and a vivacious cheerleader who brought out the best in her schoolmates. The fond memories of her will always be with me and her schoolmates. My sincere sympathy to each in her family. Louis G. Baine, Jr.-Jackson, Miss.

Of all the wonderful persons who have filled our lives Clydell was the dearest, sweetest and most kind. She was a friend, neighbor and treasure. Our family loved her. We are praying for all the family.

Cllydell was my wonderful neighbor in south Jackson for 30 years. Then we all moved to Florence and she was my neighbor again, just across the highway. She was a wonderful friend, mother and grandmother. She always saw the good in everyone and was devoted to her children and grandchildren. My life was much richer for knowing her. My children loved her and she always asked about them. I will miss her so much. May she rest in peace.
