Clyde was born August 6, 1921 in Naples, OK to the late Mr. Arthur John (A.J.) Corley and Mrs. Florence (Ashford) Corley. His Lord and Savior took him by the hand and led him to his Heavenly home on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at his earthly home with many of his family members by his side.
Clyde attended Dare and Oakhurst Schools. In the 1930’s his family went to California where he attended school in Oakland, California for one year. They moved back to Oklahoma were he meet Ms. Eula Mae Mills and they were married on October 16, 1941 at Purcell, OK. They lived around the Dibble area until 1948 when they moved to Oklahoma City. There Clyde worked for Superior Milling until Ralston Purina Feeds bought them. He worked there until his retirement in 1968. He and Eula moved to Alex, OK in 1966 where he decided to buy his own little feed mill. He also managed the Co-Op in Chickasha for several years. After their kids moved to Healdton, OK they decided to move to be close to the Grandchildren. He then helped his daughter and son-in-law with their business. He was like the energizer bunny he just never stopped until his health slowed him to a slower pace. He was still riding his seadoo up til two years ago. Clyde stayed active until a few weeks before the Lord took him home. He loved his family with all he had they always came first in his life.
