He was born on Sept. 7, 1943, in Athens, Tn., to the late Della Carpenter.
Clarence was a faithful husband, father, and friend but most of all he was a Christian who loved the Lord. His goal for the day was to make as many friends as he could and he always had a story to tell his wife at the end of the day. To him, strangers were just friends he hadn’t me yet.

He worked at Lee Smith for 42 years and was honored to have received, “Salesman of the Year” for two years, given by the City of Chattanooga.
Clarence was preceded in death by his first wife, Sara Lee Jackson; mothe, Della Carpenter; and grandson, Justin Jenkins.
