Towards the end of his life, Clarence developed cancer. He moved to be close to his son Doug and his wife Betty in Corinth, Mississippi, settling right next door. Shortly before his death in June 2013, Clarence was placed on hospice. There, he lived out his final days in happiness surrounded by those who love him. On June 17, 2013, Clarence Edward Hayhurst’s life came to an end at the age of 92.
Following his funeral, Clarence was finally reunited with his love and put to rest next to his wife Mary Ruth in McIntosh, Florida. |
