Joanne Clements Obituary
Joanne "Jo" Clements, age 82, of Oshkosh passed away on Thursday February 27, 2014. Jo was born to the late Elizabeth and Lester Berndt on Dec. 30, 1931, in Oshkosh. Joanne graduated from Oshkosh High School in 1949. She was employed by the 1st National Bank. She married Glen E. Clements in 1957 and they remained in Oshkosh for the following 57 years of marriage.
Jo was a member of Our Saviors Lutheran Church and was a charter member of the Mercy Medical Center Auxiliary and Bethel Home Auxiliary. She volunteered and loved to travel, taking many trips with her husband to visit her grandson.
Joanne is survived by her loving husband, Glen; two children, Mary (James) Clemans of Wild Rose and Columbus, OH and Julie (Frank) Crispigna of Spokane Valley, WA; and a grandson, Charles (Kim) Clemans of Columbus, OH.
Per Joanne's wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of her life will be held Saturday March 8, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at Our Saviors Lutheran Church. Visitation will be held at the church on Saturday from 10 a.m. until the service. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that donations be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Glen,Mary and Julie,
So saddened at the passing of Jo, I know you loved her very dearly. She was a great wife and mother to you and now your lives will be different without her presence. However, she will always be with you in your memory and in your heart!! My memory is filled with a friendship of many years from the time I met you, Glen and Jo thru Nile with Pizza & Pepsi!! God be with you three as you adjust to a life without your dear one!

Glen, Mary and Julie - I am so sorry to hear that Jo passed away this week. What an amazing woman! My mom couldn't ask for better neighbors and I'm so lucky to have known Jo - she always had a smile and a wave when I pulled into my mom's driveway. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!! xoxo Kristin Larson
