Clay N. Cook, age 55, of Selma, passed away Dec. 14, 2015.

Clay was preceded in death by his parents, Awford and Sylvia Cook and father-in-law, Charles Stough.

Surviving are his wife, Sara Cook; sister, Greta (Mark) Jones; mother-in-law, Maxine Stough; brother-in-law, Bubba (Demisha) Stough; sister-in-law, Lea Tidmore and nieces and nephews, Laura Tidmore, Anna Tidmore, Mary Kathryn Tidmore; Brandon (Lindsay) Stough, Megan (David) Johnson, Holly Jones and Jackson Jones.

Clay was the picture of innocence, a wonderful person in a corrupt world. We rejoice that Jesus wanted him in heaven and we know Clay is free of pain and not nervous about the next procedure. Clay loved everyone and had a great affection for pets. Clay will be missed by all.

Clay worked with Lance, Inc. as a very dedicated salesman for 30 years and with the city of Selma at Sturdivant Hall for the last year, where he adored his co-workers.
