Lewis Edmondson Obituary
Clayton served in the US Army where he trained Rangers following bootcamp. He lived in Williamston then moved to Scotland Neck where he was employed at Fulflex. Clayton later moved to Rocky Mount and was employed by Sears, first as a road technician and later as a service manager. He worked for Wildwood Trace Apartments as Maintenance Manager. He loved growing his garden and giving vegetables to all his friends and neighbors. Clayton loved spending time with his grandson. Two of his best friends were his two little dogs, Daisy and Lorelei. He would want to mention his wonderful neighbors, Cindy and Scott Williams and Don Schwahn and daughter, Cindy Ellis. He had many friends at the Stock Yard where he had a booth for many years.
Clayton is survived by his wife of 27 years, Carolyn "Faye" Edmondson; his son, Lewis Clayton "Clay" Edmondson, II and wife, Sheila; his stepdaughter, Gina Hicks Angel; his grandson, Aaron Angel; and many nieces and nephews.
