AUGUSTA- Lee Anne Clement, 78, passed away Thursday, February 15, 2024 At Augusta Center For Health & Rehabilitation.
She was born in Lewiston on April 7, 1945, the daughter of Leo and Barbara (Smith) Clement.
Lee was the valedictorian of her graduating class at Kents Hill School. She was employed as a bookkeeper for Kennebec Beverage for most of her tenure but was also employed with other area businesses for a few years.
Lee enjoyed and studied dancing, particularly ballet, which she not only loved, but with which she was extremely gifted. She was an active member of local churches and participated in many community events over her lifetime. A couple things she enjoyed, among others, were traveling to the Big Apple and the Maine coastal regions.
In her later years, she thoroughly enjoyed her grandchildren, whom she referred to as her
"Babydolls", in everything they did; sports, school and their many activities.
Lee was predeceased by her sons-in-law, Shon Girrior and Mark Desmond (Schmit).
She is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth Clement, of Augusta; granddaughter Ashley Lovering and fiancé Daniel Burke, of Augusta and grandson Matthew Desmond of Augusta; great grand "Babydolls" Avery, Colter, Patience, Erilee, Colson and Serenity.
