On February 18th, 2022 the beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend; Jeffrey Von Clemmons answered to the heavenly call to "Take his noble rest." He did not fear death and was in constant prayer for his family and friends.
Jeffrey was the eldest child of the late Evangelist Mamie Lee Williamson and was raised by his grandmother Lucille Clemmons. He received his early education in the Beaufort County Public School System. He was married at an early age to the love of his life, Lavern G. Clemmons, with whom he shares 3 daughters, and 10 grandchildren.
He began his walk with Christ at an early age at St. John Missionary Baptist Church. He enjoyed working with the food giveaway ministry at Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church. Jeffrey was always ready to serve friends and family regardless of the task. He was affectionately known as "Positive Pete", because of his ability to find "Glory" in every situation. He never forgot his roots and would often be found supporting his beloved Alma Mater Shaw University, and North Carolina Central University where he received his law degree.
He was a hardworking man and entrepreneur. Jeffrey believed that with faith, one could achieve anything that they could imagine. Hard work, and perseverance were the ingredients needed to have success and prosperity. Jeffrey loved to dance, and his signature moves could be found at any gathering. He didn't have to be the life of the party, he was just glad to be invited. Jeffrey loved life and lived it with passion. His "thumbs up" was his trademark and an indication that he approved what was happening, and that all was well. "To God Be the Glory" was his favorite saying and his way of facing any adversity, and he did so with a smile in his heart.
Jeffrey Clemmons was preceded in death by his mother Evangelist Mamie Lee Williamson and grandmother Lucille Clemmons. He leaves to cherish his memories and celebrate his life; his loving wife of 52 years, Mrs. Lavern Clemmons of the home, three daughters Mrs. Adaomma Swanson (Darren) of McLeansville, NC, Nataki Clemmons, and Asabi Watson, of Durham NC. He has 11 grandchildren, Alexandria Clemmons, Jalyn Edwards, Bailey Clemmons, Chloe Gary, Joshua Edwards (Jenise), Madison Clemmons, Joi Edwards, Jessica Edwards, Cynthia Acevedo (Dajha) ; two brothers, Jarvis Williamson (Gladys) of Teaneck NJ, Ali Talib Abdullah (Aziza) of Brooklyn NY, sister Audrey Williamson of Bath, PA; one brother in law, William Gaskins of Oxon Hill MD.; Sisters-in- Law Minnie Grice of Dumfries VA., Edna Gaskins of Brooklyn NY, Pearlene Dill of Dale City VA., Millie Latham (William), of Tampa FL, and Patricia Wilkins (Robert) of Tampa FL. He also leaves a host of lifelong friends, and relatives.
Funeral service will be held at Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church, 2200 S. Alston Ave. on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at 12:00 pm, visitation service from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm.
