The years of 1958-59 were our teenage years making memories, having fun and good times at old RHS and a little country church called Pinkerton. She was a wonderful person and one of the nicest I have ever met.

Mrs. Clay was a rare gem. She’s one of those teachers I compare all of my children’s teachers too. Those of us had the privilege to learn from her were truly the lucky ones. She loved her job and we were all the better for it. Some of my most favorite memories were reciting the Lord’s Prayer in Olde English (and I still remember it) or acting out Animal Farm. I remember how she loved and treasured her friends. I hope she knew just how impactful she was as on all our lives. She was special.

I worked with Sammie many years ago at Berkner High School. She was so kind and helpful to me as a fellow English teacher. The beautiful quilt she gave me when I married is still on the bed in my guest bedroom. I have thought of her often and am so sorry to hear of her passing.

I send my sympathy to your family–may you find peace as you celebrate the life of a remarkable woman and teacher! I remember interviewing her for an article in the school newspaper at Berkner and feeling lucky to be able to talk to her for a long time. She was not only interesting; she was also interested–in the world, in literature, and in her students. She taught me to love literature and encouraged me to study English for my undergraduate and graduate work.
