Clara Nadene Dye, age 80, of Coffeeville, MS went to her forever home Friday, February 24, 2023 at Baptist Memorial in Oxford, MS with family by her side. She was born May 29, 1942, in Cleveland, MS to the late Oscar and Anna (Baker) Webster. She was well known for her loving, patient and forgiving nature, attributes that would mold her into the person many came to know and love. Nadene attended, and graduated from, the Shaw, MS school system. While in school she became very interested in photography and became the class photographer. A skill she would use later in her career. After graduation, she went to work for Baxters in Cleveland. It was during this time she met, and married, the love of her life, Bobby Dye. After having four of her five children, she took a leap of faith and went back to school and received a bachelors degree in education. Afterwards she would teach math in a number of different districts, most notably at the Yalobusha academy. Her love of photography had her being part of the Annual Staff wherever she taught. When she wasn't teaching or attending to her family, she found great joy in sewing, thrifting, and spending time with those she loved..
