CLARENDON - W. Troy Lemley, 73, died Saturday, Dec. 15, 2001.

Memorial services will be at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in First United Methodist Church at Clarendon with the Rev. James Ivey Edwards officiating. Cremation and arrangements are by Rector Funeral Home, 2800 S. Osage St.

Coach Troy Lemley retired from a 38-year teaching and coaching career in 1987. His last season coaching was the last year Phillips High School fielded a basketball team; not coincidentally, that was also the last year a son played for him.

His final season concluded a 14-year stretch during which at least one of his sons played on his teams at Hedley and Phillips. He was a Crosbyton native and coached at McAdoo, Smyer, Springlake-Earth, Lockney, Aspermont, Hedley and for the last nine years, at Phillips.

He compiled a 626-295 record in his coaching career. He was not only proud of his teams' winning records, but was very proud of the success of his many students and players in their careers and endeavors.

Survivors include his wife, Midge; a daughter, Amy Lemley of Wichita, Kan.; four sons, John Lemley of Stillwater, Okla., Joe Lemley of Clarendon, Ben Lemley of Amarillo and Vic Lemley of Opelousas, La.; and eight grandchildren.

The body will not be available for viewing.

The family suggests memorials be to the American Heart Association; or to a favorite charity.
