Mrs. Mae Edith Clarida Piggott, 87, affectionately known as "The Pretty Lady", was born to Deacon Joe Clarida and Mrs. Josephine Leola Smith Clarida in Nakina, North Carolina on Thursday, December 15, 1927. She departed this life on Thursday, March 12, 2015 at Forsyth Medical Center.
She was joined in holy matrimony to Benjamin Howard Piggott. Mrs. Piggott committed her life to the Lord at a young age and joined the Zion Plain Missionary Baptist Church in Nakina, NC. When she married and relocated to Winston-Salem in 1952, she joined Union Baptist Church under the pastorate of Dr. A. H. McDaniel. She also remained under the leadership of The Rev. B. F. Daniels and the current pastor The Rev. Dr. Sir Walter Mack, Jr. She was the first Young Adult Missionary president at Union Baptist Church in 1955 and continued to work as a missionary and served as a Sunday school teacher for many years until her health declined. She was educated in the public schools of Columbus County in a one-room school house. She graduated as an adult from Paisley High School in 1970. In addition, she studied at Russell's Business College and trained to serve as a cafeteria manager for the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, where she retired in 1989.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Kermit Bruce Piggott; her sisters, Ethel Roena Clarida Piggott, Irene Clarida Piggott, and Clara Bell Clarida; and her brothers, Rev. Johnie Burris Clarida, Sr. and Joe Robert Clarida.
She is survived by her children, Benjamin H. Piggott, Marcia L. Piggott, Felecia Piggott-Long, and Ronald Pickens of the City; her sister, Inez Clarida Stanley of Nakina, NC; grandchildren, Reynita McMillan, Asha Piggott, and Monica Gerald; a host of other relatives and friends; and the family acknowledges her devoted caregivers, Diane Piggott, and her niece, and Denise Daniels.
Funeral Services will be held at 12noon Thursday, March 19, 2015 at Union Baptist Church with the Rev. Dr. Sir Walter Mack, Jr. officiating. Entombment will follow in Parklawn Memorial Gardens. The family visitation will be held from 11 am until 12noon on Thursday at the Church.
