Connie (Green) Clements Obituary (2015)

Connie Rae Green Clements, born 6 August 1953, in Garfield, Utah, to Lloyd Wilson Green and LaRae Broadhead Green, returned to her Heavenly Father the morning of 8 January 2015 after a battle with a raging infection that attacked her heart. Connie was a loving, devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandma, and friend who cherished children. Connie married the love of her life, Ronald LeRoy Clements, on 26 February 1972. They were sealed in the Jordan River Temple on their 10th Wedding Anniversary. Ron and Connie raised 2 children, Ron and Tammie. The highlight of Connie's life were her 17 grandchildren and 2 great-grandkids. Connie loved serving in the Primary and teaching children the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Connie raised 15 dogs for 4-H Guide Dogs for the Blind, but loved all dogs, especially the rescue dogs she adopted after she retired from the 4-H program. Connie was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and LaRae, a Brother-in-Law, Tom Kariya, and a granddaughter, Hannah Daniel. Connie is survived by her eternal companion, Ron, sister, Gloria Kariya, brother, Jerry (Vicky) Green, son, Ron (Kristin) Clements, daughter, Tammie (Charly) Daniel, 16 grandkids, 2 great-grandkids, 2 nieces and 2 nephews.
