Clemmie Joseph, age 84, of Bledsoe, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at his home on Tuesday morning, October 14, 2025 with his family by his side. Born on August 31, 1941, Clemmie was a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, pastor, and friend to many.

Clemmie was the devoted son of the late Willie and Matilda Griffith Joseph. He was preceded in death by his loving and devoted wife, Mallie Ann Mitchell Joseph, the mother of his children; his former wife, Frances Joseph; one great-granddaughter, Ariel Faith Napier; four brothers – Arthur, Richmond, Charlie, and Dennis; five sisters – Becky, Clercie, Kizzie, Pauline, and Martha; and two nephews – Willie and Elvis.

Before retiring due to a back injury, Clemmie spent many years working in the coal mines, tirelessly providing for his loved ones. Known for his strong work ethic and humble spirit, he found joy in the simple things – tinkering with lawnmowers and weed eaters, sharing stories, and spending cherished time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren.

Clemmie met the love of his life, Mallie Mitchell, and they were united in marriage on May 11, 1963. Together they built a life grounded in love, faith, and family.
