Alice Louise Clayton, 55, a St. Marys native, mother, sister and soon-to-be-grandma, passed away on Jan. 17, 2013, after a courageous six-year battle with cancer.
She was born Oct. 24, 1957, to Walter and Mary Gearing Scott, who are deceased. On Oct. 1, 1977, she married William Clayton, who survives.
