Ronald Clayton Greenley

Ronald Clayton Greenley, 71, of Tamms, died at home with his family present on Oct. 22, 2022.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harold Lloyd (Virginia) Greenley and Verna Mae Clinton; his brother, Kevin Carlton Greenley; and a daughter, Christina Beth Greenley. 

He was a member of Lake Milligan Baptist Church.

He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Elizabeth (Betty) Greenley; sons Jeremy (Emily) Greenley and Kyle Greenley; eight grandchildren, one great-grandchild; brothers Clinton (Barb) Greenley, Scott (Kim) Greenley and Steve (Kim) Greenley; an uncle, James (Ellen) Greenley; and a large, devoted extended family.

He was born on Aug. 16, 1951, in Cairo. He spent most of his childhood at the home of his grandparents, Claude and Grace Clinton, on Horseshoe Lake in Olive Branch.

He served on the following committees/boards through the years: Olive Branch Chamber of Commerce, Horseshoe Lake Volunteer Fire Department, Horseshoe Lake Fire District Board, Alexander Pulaski County Soil and Water Conservation Board  and the NWTF Horseshoe Lake Long Beards Committee.

He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. The light of his life was his granddaughters Valerie, Claire and Vanessa Greenley.

There are no words to express the manner in which Clayton affected those around him. His family, neighbors, coworkers and community are all richer for having him in their life.

He will be remembered fondly, and greatly missed, by all.

A private burial service will be held at a later date.

Jones Funeral Home Tamms is in charge of arrangements.
