Dr. Freddie T Clements

Dr. Freddie Thomas Clements, age 87, passed away on Friday, August 2, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of service, dedication, and love. Born to the late Sid Clements and Susie Mae Kelley Clements, Freddie was a proud graduate of Pleasureville High School, the University of Kentucky, and earned his DMD from the University of Louisville.

A devoted member of Florence Christian Church, Dr. Clements dedicated 54 years to his profession as a dentist, touching countless lives with his care and compassion. His commitment to service extended beyond his practice, as he proudly served his country as an Army veteran.

Freddie had a wide array of interests and passions. He was an avid supporter of the University of Kentucky sports, a dedicated coin collector and enjoyed farming. His community involvement was extensive; he was an active member of the Lions Club, a former Board of Directors member for Farmers Bank, a former school board member, a Kentucky Colonel, and a former member of the Owen County Health Board.

On October 9, 1964, Freddie married the love of his life, Diane Ray Clements, with whom he shared nearly six decades of love and companionship. He is survived by his loving wife, Diane, and their children, Andrea (Troy) Schumann and Leslie (Joel) Godby. He was a proud grandfather to Blake Schumann (Kristin Montgomery), Alexis Schumann, Kayla (Christian) Bowling, and Janna Godby (Ryan Wheeler), and a doting great-grandfather to Mira and Wilder Bowling.

Freddie is also survived by his sister, Evelyn (Gene) Garrett, and his nieces, Sandra (Tony) McGhee and Gina (Greg) Black, and his nephew, Gary (Kathy) Clements, and was preceded in death by his brother, Carroll Clements.

Dr. Freddie Thomas Clements will be remembered for his unwavering dedication to his family, his profession, and his community. His legacy of kindness, service, and love will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
