Mary Loflin Clement, 103, passed peacefully on December 29th, 2013 at Brookstone Retirement Center in Lexington. Mary was born to John and Sarah Loflin in Spencer on January 6th, 1910.
In 1928, she married Grady A. Clement and moved to Churchland where she became an active member of Smith Grove Baptist Church.
In addition to being a homemaker, helping on the farm, raising two sons, she operated her beauty shop for 20 years. In retirement, she and Grady spent part of the year at their home in Windy Hill, SC.
Grady passed in December 2003, and Mary later moved in with her son Ted and his wife Megan in their home. She made cards for all occasions, cooked, helped around the house, and enjoyed going on walks. She loved weekly outings with Edna Griffin, her caregiver and family friend.
A memorial service will be held at Smith Grove Baptist Church fellowship hall on Friday, January 3rd at 11 am.

She was a great help to me when I was just 17 years old & having a very troubled home life. She readily agreed to let me come to live with her for the remainder of my high school time for which I am so very grateful! We continued being involved in each others’ lives until her death. My husband, Wayne & I always loved her.

Mary Grady has been in my life since the day I was born.The first letter I got in the mail was from her and Grady..from the beach…I was 1 yr old…I still have it ! The mantel piece she made for you boys…she gave to me..I still have it with many Christmas ornaments.These are special treasures but the greatest treasure was just knowing her. She was loved by many and all who knew her will miss her and have their own special memories of Mary Grady…..Love..Rossilea

We, the family of Crystal W Clement, thought highly of Mary Clement…..we loved her dearly. I still have the card she made for me when my mother and I visited her. A mutual friend of mine, living in her community described her to me as the “Rock” of her church and community. Ted and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
