The fourth of six children, Clydena attended local Irwin County Schools and excelled as a student. She then attended college at Savannah State University in beautiful Savannah, Georgia.

Clydena often told the story of how she met a handsome, young man named RC while she was participating in a parade. RC said, “she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.” He told her she would one day be his wife. RC manifested those words as they married and soon parented four beautiful children together Sylvia, RC Jr., Robert and Willie.
