Dorothy Thweatt Clay, 83 of Paducah, KY died at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, October 8, 2015, at the Calvert City Convalescent Center.  Mrs. Clay was of Baptist Faith and attended East Baptist Church.

 

Mrs. Clay was employed by Claussner’s  Hosiery Mill until it closed.   She also worked many years at the Donut Castle in Paducah.  Dorothy loved watching University of Kentucky and University of Louisville Basketball (UK was always the  favorite when they played each other), and also loved NASCAR races with Dale Earnhardt Jr. being her favorite driver.  Mrs. Clay and her late husband enjoyed traveling and camping.  They were members of the ICG Fishing Club where they enjoyed many good times through the years with their family and friends.

I would personally like to thank Dr. Porter, Theresa Clifton, Social Worker, and all the staff at the Calvert City Convalescent for their care and patience shown to my mother and allowing me to have her close by in her last days.
