_______________
Mona Clayton Pass died peacefully on Tuesday, January 26, 2016 with her daughters by her side. She was born in Roxboro, NC, on June 5, 1929 to the late John William Clayton and Mona Frederick Clayton.
Mona was a loving and beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who brought joy to everyone she encountered. Her life was filled with an optimism and spirit that was contagious. She was a true Southern lady who lived her life with elegance and grace.
Married in 1950 to John Wiley Pass, the next forty-four years were a charmed life. Together they raised three daughters as she supported her husband in his lifetime career as an executive with Wachovia Bank. She also supported his love of his UNC Tarheels and accompanied him to games for over 40 years. Mona delighted in her church, her faith, and her many friends. She enjoyed good games of tennis and bridge and volunteering in the community. Even in her 70s she volunteered for a decade in the Ronald McDonald Room at Brenner Hospital.
With her husband and traveling friends, she traveled the world. Her fondest memories were of beautiful churches, their tolling bells, and children of other countries. Her adventurous spirit did not extend to the culinary; her suitcase was always packed with Nabs.
After raising her family, Mona enjoyed a career as a "Senior" model. Her modeling photos could be found on billboards and in magazines and newspapers.
Other than her family, her greatest love was her church and her community of faith. She was a longtime member of First Baptist Church, and her greatest joys were the founding of the Young Marrieds Sunday School class and singing with the Sanctuary Choir.
She was preceded in death by her husband and is survived by her children: Leigh Pass Rowe (Tom Kerns) of Mt. Pleasant, SC, Kaye Pass Lambert (David) of Winston-Salem, and Johnsie Pass Mason (Bruce) of Wadmalaw Island, SC. ; grandchildren, Jordan Rowe, Chatham Rowe (Caroline), Trey Lambert (Kate), John Lambert (Ellen), Katie Leigh Mason and Hunter Mason; one great grandson, Ransome Lambert; a sister, Barbara Clayton Smith, and a brother, William Gail Clayton. She was predeceased by a brother, A. W. Clayton.
A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, February 6, 2016 at First Baptist Church at 1:00 with visitation afterwards. In honor of Mona's love of music, there will be an organ with strings prelude to begin 30 minutes prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the Television Ministry of First Baptist Church, 501 W. Fifth Street, Winston Salem, NC. 27101 or to a charity of one's choice.
