Michele Singletary Obituary

Michele Clayton Singletary GOOSE CREEK - Michele Clayton Singletary passed away on June 1, 2022 from metastatic breast cancer. She did not like the phrase "battled" with respect to cancer, though she did endure it with warrior-like strength and at all times, hope. Her fierce determination to be a part of the lives of her two sons as long as possible kept her going. Raising and loving them was the joy of her life. She graduated from the College of Charleston, eventually earning a Master's Degree in Education. She taught Forensics and Science at Hanahan High School, and coached the Hanahan Boys Golf team for seven years, assisted by her Dad. Her dedication to work and her family was only slightly surpassed by her passion for sharing her favorite foods, swimming in the ocean, and singing along to Fleetwood Mac. She had a great wit and irreverence, and always rooted for the underdog. Her friendship enriched the lives of many, and she will be deeply missed. She is survived by her sons, William and Ryan Singletary, as well as her loving parents, Ellen and Lloyd Clayton, and her sister, Christine Canivan. She also leaves behind her paternal grandmother, Etta Mae Rowell and numerous beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. She was grateful to the many nurses and doctors at Charleston Hematology and Oncology, especially Dr. George Keogh and Corin Jaynes. Also, the family wishes to thank the many people whose kindness and selflessness sustained us all in Michele's final weeks. In Michele's memory, donations may be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation at give.bcrf.org or The Breast Cancer Research Foundation 28 West 44th Street, Suite 609, New York, NY 10036. A funeral mass will be held at Immaculate Conception in Goose Creek on June 10 at 4PM. Visit our guestbook at legacy.com/obituaries/charleston
