I am deeply saddened to learn of Pat’s passing. I met Pat in Akron, Ohio when we worked together and became friends. She had a sharp mind, a great personality and a commanding presence.

There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts.
I had the life changing pleasure of meeting Ms. Clayton while searching for a home to buy. Subsequently. I bought a home she sold to me, but little did I know, God had blessed me with a second Mom…She changed my life through her sage advice, humor and intellect and I am forever thankful and will always love her.
To her wonderful family, I extend my deepest condolences and love.
We all are and will always be truly blessed to have in our lives…Thank you Ms Clayton
hope this letter finds you wrapped in moments of love and cherished memories.
It is with a heavy heart that I write to express my deepest condolences for the passing of Patricia “Pat” Clayton. From the moment we met in 1996, Pat transformed my life as much as I may have influenced hers. What began as a professional relationship blossomed into a profound friendship that felt like family.
Pat’s vibrant spirit and unwavering determination inspired everyone around her. She brought a unique joy to our training sessions that transcended the gym walls. Her laughter, warmth, and kindness were not just attributes; they were a gift to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
In the years we spent together, we built a bond that was rooted in mutual respect and admiration. Pat taught me as much about resilience and strength as I ever hoped to teach her. I will forever carry her memory in my heart, celebrating her life and the incredible impact she had on those fortunate enough to cross her path.
Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. If there’s anything you need or any way I can support you, do not hesitate to reach out.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Marion Benton
I became friends with Pat in 1958 when we entered the Freshman Class of Johnson C. Smith University.

all whom she encountered. May God’s comfort and peace enfold her family and friends as we mourn her loss.
