Clyde Herring Obituary

Clyde Lee Herring, of Nashville TN passed away on September 11, 2022. Born July 30, 1935, to Clyde W Herring and Ruby Lee Service, he was raised in Plainview TX where he met his best friend and wife Betty Jo Bumpus. They married in 1955 and graduated together from Baylor University in 1957. He received his Master of Divinity from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, and later earned his Doctor of Ministry from Phillips University in Enid OK. Together in marriage for 65 years, "Dr Clyde and BJ" ministered to congregations large and small across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

A gifted speaker, dedicated pastor, and author of devotional books and instructional materials for the Baptist Sunday School Board, he loved Jesus' church and His people.

Clyde is survived by his sons Jeff (Kay)Herring, a physician in Nashville, and Lee (Erricka Stane) Herring, pastor of Broadway Baptist Church in Sand Springs OK, and 6 grandchildren: Jordan (Glory) Herring of Lexington KY, Seth Herring of Sand Springs, Kendal (Daniel) Peterman of Nashville, Kelsey Kay (David) Kerckhoff of Nashville, and Scott and Leah Herring of Tampa FL.

The family wishes to sincerely thank the excellent caring staff of Brookdale Green Hills Cumberland.

The family will celebrate his accomplished life at a later time at Broadway Baptist Church in Sand Springs, OK. Dr. Nathan Parker and Lee will officiate the private graveside service at Woodlawn Memorial Park.

The family requests that memorial gifts be made to the Herring Family Prehealth Endowed Scholarship Fund, Baylor University at baylor.edu/give, Broadwaybaptistchurch.com, or Woodmontbaptist.com. Online condolences may be shared at AustinFuneralService.com 615-377-0775.
