Clayton Albert [Elbert] Luce
On February 8, 2021, Clayton Luce, loving husband and father of 4 children, passed away peacefully in his South Carolina home at the age of 85.
Clayton was born on May 24, 1935 in Etna, NY to [Elbert] Chauncey Luce and Vera Ann Thomas Luce. He worked as a Union sheet metal worker for 40 years at Wheaton's Sheet Metal Company in Ithaca, NY. In 1953, he married Jacqueline Brewer. They raised 2 daughters, Terri and Lori, and 2 sons, Jody and Randy. In 1988, Clayton and Jackie moved to Oconee County, SC.
Clayton was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1960.
