Clyde Allene Mooney Wages
Clyde Allene Mooney Wages, 95, of Monticello, died Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011, at Jasper Memorial Hospital.
Mrs. Wages was born in Jefferson to the late Eli McDuffie Mooney and Burice Mae Gober Mooney. Her husband, Maylon Burnette Wages, and son, Billy Joe Wages, preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Carol Wages, and brothers and sister, Morgan Mooney, Mutt Mooney, Howard Mooney, Clarence Mooney, and Woodie Wall.
Mrs. Wages–“Nanny”–as she was lovingly known by everyone, was a humble and obedient servant of God. If you ever met her, you immediately loved her. She always gave a helping hand to family, neighbors, friends, and strangers. God and her family were her top priorities and she always put them before herself.
“Nanny” loved her life because it was full of love and not material things and she always met the day with a smile that would light up the room. Some of her favorite pastimes were reading her Bible every day, taking care of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, watching the Braves, fishing, flower gardening, crocheting, quilting, sewing, and cooking for her family.
Mrs. Wages was a strong determined woman that was quick-witted and sharp as a tack up until the last few months. She was dearly loved and admired by her family, friends, and acquaintances.
