Mrs. Sanders, widow of Henry Grady Sanders was born December 14, 1922 to Seth Julius and Ollie Estelle Riggins Simmons. She was the middle child and the only one with blue eyes like her mother. She was full of energy and had a servant's heart. Her heart and energetic ways landed her a couple of chores such as taking the cow to graze outside Alice Mill Village. She did not like having to be so still for that chore. Her older brother had to meet a bus at 4 am for newspapers to deliver, not fun those cold mornings at age 12. Cleon much preferred gathering eggs to trade for candy and going to the mill to pick up her mother's check. After her marriage on March 10, 1941, her family members extended by 10. Family reunions and vacations often included Cleon's mother and younger sisters. Family dinners included Grady's sisters who were close by. Gracie Carolyn Sanders was born on November 9, 1943. She had many loved ones to spoil her. They lived in Easley until 1948, then moved to Grady's hometown of Liberty. Cleon joined Eastside Baptist after coming from Park Street Baptist Church. The Simmons family came from the Griffin Community above Pickens. She was a humble person and a devoted wife. She stressed two things to Carolyn: Pretty is as pretty does and vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. Cleon lived a dedicated life and prayed for Grady to be saved. He became a Christian and served as a deacon and building committee chairman at Eastside Baptist. They attended Sunday School, worship and trips with the Golden Gems. Carolyn was in the Sunbeam's, G.A.'s and the junior choir. Grady passed away in 2000, after caring for him after heart surgery and mini strokes, Cleon continued attending WMU, she eventually became homebound. Cleon was the oldest living member of Eastside when she passed away. She has enjoyed her grandchildren and great grandchildren throughout the years. They say she is adorable. She is survived by her daughter Carolyn S. Keasler; one sister, Jean (Bob) Burgess; grandchildren: Barry (Jan) Keasler, Cassi (Brian) Barner, and Bridget (Jack) Sparkman; great-grandchildren: Chase Hall, Emery Barner, and Jill Bradi Sparkman.
