Ms. Clement was born on August 16, 1949, in Portland, Maine to Phillippo and Diana Amoroso. She graduated from Portland High School in 1967. She began a career in banking at Sun Savings and Loan, and continued a career in finance at Consumer Credit Counseling Service both in Maine and later in Atlanta, where she moved to in 2005 to be close to her daughter's family. For the past 4 years she has worked in the front office at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School, where she was a loving and supportive resource to students, family, and staff.
Ms. Clement always gave back through service to such organizations as the Boys & Girls Clubs and Junior Achievement. She mentored young people in her role as a Big Sister, and taught personal finance and credit to youth and adults through programs she had written and developed. Ms. Clement was active in her neighborhood, she served on the Montclair HOA for many years, and she proudly ran the community website to make sure all of her neighbors had the opportunity to be involved with one another. She loved playing cards with her friends. She was a big New England Patriots fan, and loved to talk about football. But her greatest joy was her family. They were the love of her life.
