Bonham, Texas – Graveside services for Mary Lee Clement, 80, of Bonham, will be held at 10:00 a.m. Sunday, January 26, 2025 in Willow Wild Cemetery under the direction of Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home, Bonham, Texas. Connie Murray will officiate. Deloris Clemons will provide the reading of the obituary.

Mary Lee was born November 2, 1944 in Bonham, Texas, the daughter of LeRoy and Mary (Pinkston) Helton. She married Billy Gean Clement on November 9, 1962 in Bonham, Texas. After a marriage of 55 years, he preceded her in death on June 19, 2017. The couple loved to travel and try new restaurants.

Mary Lee was involved with the family business, Clement & Sons, for many years. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. Spending time with family was a very special to her.

Mary Lee enjoyed music, movies and reading. She loved Elvis Presley, and her favorite actor was Robert Pattenson. Some would say she had a slight obsession with both. After her husband’s death, Mary Lee enjoyed attending dances with her best friend Sue Rattan and traveling with her other best friend Donna Carlisle.

Mary Lee was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Billy, sisters, Linda Long and Letha Devault and brother, Roy Helton.

Mary Lee leaves to cherish her memories, her daughter, Terri Blackerby and husband, Rodney of Randolph, two sons, Kevin Clement and wife, Sheila, of Bokchito, Oklahoma, and Shane Clement of Bonham, granddaughter, Maegan Bush and husband, Weston of Ector, grandson, Mitchell Clement and wife, Brittany of Bonham, great grandchildren, Clancy, Cortni, Brynli, Kayli and Jaggar, sister, Alice Gibson and husband Randy of Colbert, Oklahoma, and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to The Wesley House and Hospice Plus. Even though her time spent with them was short, she received the absolute best care from both. An even more special thank you to Ashley Keenon, RN. We extend our deepest gratitude to you all for the exceptional care you have given our family throughout the years.
