Flora Mae (Cribb) Clayton

Flora Mae Clayton, 77, returned to her heavenly home on May 24, 2015, surrounded by her loving family at Grand Strand Medical Center after a valiant battle with the effects from a stroke. Her devotion to her family and her firm belief in God supported her in her struggle and ultimately gave her peace. Her faith in God was steadfast and she lived her life accordingly. She was admired and loved by her family and friends and we thank God for sharing her with us. Even though she is dearly missed by her loved ones, they celebrate the fact that she is at peace with her creator.
