William Clyde Sanders

William Clyde Sanders Jr, 93, acquired his wings on Monday, September 2, 2024 surrounded by love and family.  He was a resident of Eufaula, Alabama for over 50 years where he was a member of First Baptist Church.  He was born on Friday, May 29, 1931 in Cochran, Georgia to the late William Clyde and Corrie Sanders.  After graduating from Lanier High School in Macon, Georgia, he enlisted in the United States Air Force.

He also spent many hours working on anything mechanical, determined to fix things whether they were broken or not.  He was a strong and loving father that ensured his family needs were always priority. There was no doubt about his love for his entire family.  He will be greatly missed, but his memories will always be cherished by those who knew and loved him. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 47 years, Frances (Moore) Sanders.
