CLEMONS, LORENA PIERCE
Mrs. Lorena Pierce Clemons died peacefully in her sleep on September 10, 
2012, in Amite, Louisiana; she was 96, born on June 28, 1916, in 
Fountain Hill, Arkansas. Mrs. Clemons was known as "Mrs. Lorena," and 
"Momee." She attended Arkansas A&M where she played college basketball. She 
met and married Mr. Clemons who was operating a sawmill near her hometown; 
in the aftermath of World War II, they moved the sawmill to Amite. Clemons 
Brothers Lumber Company had an immediate and significant impact on the city 
and the surrounding vicinity for five decades, during which time the couple 
was active in many facets of the local community. She was deeply involved 
in the First Baptist Church of Amite for many years in numerous capacities, 
including pastoral search committees, teaching Sunday School, Training 
Union, and Vacation Bible Schools. She was active in Cub Scouts, PTA, Care 
at Home (an early outreach to the less fortunate) as well as serving in 
various leadership roles and organizations to help others. She was an avid 
reader always interested in current events and an extensive traveler, 
journeying to many parts of the world. She loved gardening; and was well 
known for growing day lilies. Her flowers gave her and the many friends who 
came to visit great Joy. Mrs. Clemons is survived by her children: M. 
LaMarr Clemons and his wife, Mary Ann of Amite; D. Gradon Clemons and his 
wife, Laura of Amite; Rebecca Clemons Olson and her husband, Joseph of 
Savannah, Georgia; and Martha Clemons Edwards of Dallas, Texas. She is also 
survived by grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including Madison 
Clemons, of Amite, Courtney Richard and her husband Quinn and their son, 
Valex of New Orleans; David, Jr., Emily and Catherine Clemons of Amite; 
Laura Olson Christensen and her husband, Justin, and their children, Luke 
and Wes of New York, New York, and Eric Olson and his wife, Rachel, of 
Columbia, South Carolina; and Matthew, Pierce and Daniel Edwards of Dallas, 
Texas. She was preceded in death by her husband Hurschel David (H.D.) 
Clemons, her parents Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Augustus Pierce, her brothers, 
Homer Leo Pierce and Atlas Augustus Pierce, her sister, Mabel Pierce Ollar, 
and her son-in law, John Joseph Edwards. The family wishes to give deep 
appreciation for the care given by Dr. Reginald H. Goldsby for many years, 
Hood Memorial Hospital and to Wilkinson Care Givers for the help they 
provided the last weeks of her life. Services will be held at the First 
United Methodist Church of Amite, La., on Friday, September 14, 2012; 
visitation will be held from 8:30 am until 11:00 am, with services of the 
Celebration of her Life to begin at 11 :00 am. Presiding over the services 
will be Reverend Ken Bowman and Reverend Mike Foster. In lieu of flowers, 
the family would appreciate donations to First Baptist Church of Amite or
