Melinda R. Clement's Obituary
Melinda Rose Clement (nee McDonald)
Melinda passed away on Friday, May 6, 2022 at her home in Webster Groves, Missouri at the tender age of 99 years, 9 months and 5 days. As in life her greatest joy was to be surrounded by her children, grandloves and great grandloves so it was in her passing.
Melinda was born on August 1, 1922 in Kirkwood, Missouri to the late Andrew McDonald and Bernice McDonald (nee Heege).
Melinda was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Clarence Franklin Clement, her sons Frederick Joseph Clement and Lawrence Leonard "Pete"(Lisa) Clement. Melinda is survived by her children, Caroline Clement, Laurey Ann Clement, Rose Coates, Nicholas (Linda) Clement, Victoria (Ronald) Welling and James Clement daugher-in-law, Lisa Clement ; grandchildren Anthony Clement, Melinda Salas, Timothy Coates, Benjamin Clement, Joseph Luckey, Charles Welling, Theodore Welling, AnnaRose Welling, Stephen Welling; Cole Clement, Tara Clement: great grandchildren, Conor Love, Benjamin Clement, John Delaney Clement, Catherine Rose Clement, Melody Welling.
Devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend to more than we can count, devoted to her Lord Jesus Christ and His Church, she lived the beatitudes and was the finest example of the Proverbs 31 woman. Melinda left a mark on the life of everyone who knew her. While we are saddened at her departure we also take comfort in the assurance that we will surely see her again when we too, make that journey to the other side of eternity.
In a final act of generosity Melinda donated her body to Logan College.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated Saturday, June 11, 2022 at 11:00am at St. Gerard Majella Catholic Church 1969 Dougherty Ferry Road Kirkwood, Missouri, 63122.
