My Life Story

I enter this world, October 12, 1953, to my parents, Earnest Jr. and Sarah Clements. I was a bundle of joy, they named me Joanne but called me “Mole”. I attended school in Meriwether County with my other four siblings: Marion, Christina, Debra and Cherita, we were raised in the Zion Hill community attended church at Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church and sung in the choir. I met and married the love of my life, Charles Williams (deceased). We shared a beautiful daughter, Shante who gave us three handsome grandsons; Llevante, Timothy and Antrevious.

I exodus this earthly life on November 23, 2025, it shocked everyone, but I had to go. Therefore I have left behind good memories to comfort you all. Concentrate on the best times that we had together.

Although your hearts may be broken, I am in a wonderful place now where I am happy and carefree. My uncle James who was so dear to me “one call that’s all”. We were two peas in a pod. He looked after me and I looked after him. Please try not to feel so blue because we will see each other again. My brothers that I never had, Bennie and Melvin (Pill) “What’s up Sewells?” is how I answered the phone when y’all called or stopped by to visit. I have fought the good fight, I have finished this race, my family, I love you all until we meet again.
