Rock Hill, SC – Clarence R. “Clay” Carpenter, 81, passed away on Friday, May 17, 2024 at his home.
The service will be held at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at Greene Funeral Home Northwest Chapel, 2133 Ebenezer Road, Rock Hill, SC 29732, with Reverend Jerry Devinney officiating. The family will receive friends from immediately following the service.
Born in Dallas, NC, Clay was the son of the late Loy G. Carpenter and the late Amy Hedgepeth Carpenter. He was also preceded in death by his son, Travis Jenkins.
Clay proudly served his country in the United States Army. He enjoyed fishing and going to the beach. His love for the coast started when he threw his first fishing line in with his boys. He would catch so many fish that he would cook at the end of the week for anyone who wanted to sit at his table. He looked forward to spending time with his family and friends. Clay always welcomed everyone with his infectious smile and warm heart.
Surviving are his wife, Sandra Sain Carpenter; his son, Joshua Carpenter (Allison); and his grandchildren, Skye Jenkins, Crew Carpenter, and Collins Carpenter.
