Frances "Fran" Elizabeth Clements, 77, of Lynchburg, passed away on Wednesday, September 1, 2021, at Lynchburg General Hospital after a brief illness. She was preceded in death by her husband, William Henry Clements Jr.
Born on October 3, 1943, in Portsmouth, Va., she was a daughter of the late Harry Goodloe Galladay and Emily Matthews Galladay. Fran was retired from C.B. Fleet Company and a member of Timberlake United Methodist Church where she participated in the Grief Ministry, Feeding Ministry and The Yarn Connection. She was also an avid volunteer with The D-Day Memorial in Bedford.
She is survived by a daughter, Debbie Clements Becker and her husband, Steve, of Mocksville, N.C.; two stepsons, Dr. William Henry Clements, III and his wife, Diana Hammerdorfer, of Fort Collins, Colo., and Roger Grayling Clements and his wife, Pat, of Lynchburg, Va.; five grandchildren, Allen Clements, Gordon Clements, John Paul Clements, Dianna Souder and Cassandra Becker; and three great-grandchildren, Noelle Blanchet, Danielle Souder and Brielle Souder, her companion, Bob Mills, and her beloved "Kiwi" & "Jazzy". She was preceded in death by one sister, Patricia Galladay; grandson, SSG Daniel Becker; and one stepdaughter, Florence Clements.
Fran was known for her willingness to always help others, she was a caregiver. Fran was an avid animal lover devoting a great deal of her day to enjoying and caring for her Yellow-Naped Amazon parrot "Kiwi" and her chihuahua "Jazzy". Knitting and crocheting were a passion of hers- always making things for her Great Grandchildren, the church and things for Christmas presents.

Dear Family Of Fran Clements,
I had the privilege to know and work with Fran at C B Fleet Co. She was my manager and we had a good team work relationship. Fran was very soulful, spirited, talented, full of witt and wisdom. I'm grateful for our work experiences. I'm glad I got to know her and glad she was my friend. She will always be remembered. May our LORD and The Comforter continue to keep and remain with you All.
With Sincere Condolences and Blessings Always.
