of Gassville/Mountain Home, AR

January 22, 1963 - June 16, 2024

Mr. Clay St. George Berry, 61, of Gassville/Mountain Home passed away Sunday, June 16, 2024. He was the beloved son of Georgia Doty Berry; brother of Eve Berry and Amy Berry Boyd (Brent Boyd) all of whom survived him. He is also survived by adoring nephews and a niece, Anderson Boyd, Joseph Boyd and Grace Boyd Blair (Jacob Blair) plus loving cousins and countless friends.

Born in Paragould, Arkansas on January 22, 1963, Clay grew up in Corning and was a proud member of the CHS Bobcat class of 1981. In 1985, he graduated with a BSBA from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, where he was a third-generation fan and fierce defender of all things Arkansas and Razorback.

Clay served his country in the Navy aboard the USS Yorktown (CG-48), whereupon he saw much of the world. He returned to U of A Fayetteville and began his life's work securing financial aid for students who otherwise may not have received a college education. His professional life took him to management positions at Hendrix College in Conway, the Student Loan Guarantee Foundation in Little Rock and finally to Financial Aid Director at ASU Mountain Home.

On Thursday, June 20, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Clay will be honored and remembered at a Celebration of Life Service on the ASU Mountain Home campus, 1600 South College Street. In keeping with the "Clay Day" campus tradition, the suggested attire for the gathering is Hawaiian shirts.
