Clarence Freeman, Jr. was a gentle, loving and caring man. He was quiet in spirit and everyone who met him loved him for his kind heart and mild spirit. He passed away peacefully on September 7, 2020 with his immediate family by his side in Albany, Georgia.
He was born on November 7, 1950 to the late Clarence Freeman and Maude Harvey in Macon, Georgia. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Jerry Haugabook, and grandparents; Mamie and Jerry Harvey. Hearing the voice of God, at an early age he confessed his love for Christ and was baptized at New Hope Baptist Church in Montezuma, Georgia under the leadership of Pastor K.T. Hayes. He was also an avid member of the Bible Study and Sunday School classes. He was a faithful member until his death.
Clarence completed his public school education at D. F. Douglas High School in Montezuma, Georgia in 1968. He began his career at Southern Frozen Foods Plant in Montezuma, Georgia and later joined the team at ITI Storm and Window Company. In 1973, he landed a position at The Woolfolk Chemical Plant in Fort Valley, Georgia as a chemical sorting specialist. He later became a seasonal specialist for the Pearson and Lane Entrepreneurs.
After a few years of dating (or courting as they used to say) as fate would have it, on December 15, 1972, he married Violet Adams and the two stood as man and woman and were betrothed in a Holy Union and started their life together with their two sons, Donald and Dexter.
Although he was quiet in spirit, Clarence loved to interact with his co-workers, friends and people in the community. He was most recently employed by Flint River Hospital as a janitorial care specialist until his retirement in 2019.
