PAMPA - Mildred Butler Laycock died Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009.
Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Friday in Carmichael-Whatley Funeral Directors Colonial Chapel with the Rev. Doug DuBose, Baptist minister, officiating. Burial was Sunday in Memory Gardens Cemetery in Clemson, S.C.
Mrs. Laycock was born in Wellington to Elizabeth and Frank Slough. She graduated from Wellington High School with the Class of 1935. and attended Mary Hardin Baylor College in Belton. After working two years at the Agricultural Extension Office in the Collingsworth County Courthouse, she attended North Texas State College in Denton. She worked for a time in an Amarillo law office for her uncle, Judge Elmer Slough. Mildred married Charles P. Butler and because he had a southern background, they were transferred to Atlanta and then to Clemson. She took real estate classes at the University of South Carolina and was the first woman in the state of South Carolina to get a real estate license and become a broker. Mildred helped to develop two subdivisions there, Highland Estates and Ashley Estates, and named the streets, using a study of South Carolina history in that selection. She was president of the Tri-County Board of Realtors, a member of the Pickens County, S.C., Planning and Development Commission, First Baptist Church in Clemson and the Clemson College Woman's Club.
In late 1975, Mildred married Dr. Raymond W. Laycock, whom she had known in college. In Pampa, she belonged to the Top O'Texas Medical Auxiliary, Pampa Environmental Beautification Committee, Pampa Chamber of Commerce Membership Committee, Twentieth Century Club and First Baptist Church.
Survivors include her husband, Dr. Raymond W. Laycock; a son, Charles P. Butler Jr. and wife Miriam of Greenville, S.C.; two daughters, Betty Butler Heath of Hickory, N.C., and Julia Butler Eakes of Washington, D.C.; six grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; a stepdaughter, Chris Lemons of New Braunfels; and a stepgreat-granddaughter.
The family suggests memorials be to First Baptist Church, P.O. Box 621, Pampa, TX 79066-0621; First Baptist Church, 397 College Ave., Clemson, SC 29631; BSA Hospice, 800 N. Sumner St., Pampa, TX 79065; or a favorite charity.
