      Died peacefully in her home, age 92. Predeceased by husband, S. Thomas Clement; brother, Renato Valerio (Virginia, Beverly); sister, Mary Napoli (Anthony). Survived by her sons, Tom, Paul, John; daughters, Maria and Rita; brother, John (Nan); 7 grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

       Known for her intelligence and love of learning, she graduated as valedictorian from Madison High School, then attended Nazareth College. She taught math in the Rochester City School District. After marriage, she was a homemaker and raised 5 children; and later cared for her grandchildren, grandnephews, and grandniece. She loved to travel, garden, read, do puzzles, and visit with family. As she advanced in age, she treasured visits from everyone, listening to and telling stories. We are grateful for Paul, Ryan, Amanda, Catherine, Ana, and Lauren, whose patience and compassionate care allowed her to remain in her home, as she had always desired.
