Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” Revelation 14:13

Mattie Lee Clayborn McClure was born on January 1, 1923, to Jackson Clayborn and Lena Duncan Clayborn in Springhill, Arkansas. She professed her hope in Christ at an early age.
She was a member of Clayborn Chapel A.M.E. Church. After moving to Lansing, Michigan she united with New Mt. Calvary Church under the leadership of Rev. Lonnie Chipp where she served as a mother of the church until her health befell her.

For 95 years she lived a simple, but full life. She was preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, two sons, Eddie McClure and an infant boy; and a daughter-in-law, Virginia “Peaches” McClure.
