Carolyn Kaye Cotton Clay, 64 went home to be with her LORD on September 30, 2012. She was devoted to her family and also her career at Cabell County Emergency Medical Services which spanned 30 years. During this time she saved countless lives and mentored many, including her own son, Jack Clay, Jr. and grandson, Justin Beckett. She celebrated her achievement to be the first paramedic to serve long enough to attain retirement status in Cabell County in 2009, but her love for the profession continued. She was devoted to her faith in our LORD and alongside her husband and children they spread their love of GOD through song and ministry in their 27 years together and were known by many as the “Children of the Real King”.
