Deceased Name: Carolyn "Jackie" Clements
Carolyn "Jackie" Clements, 82, a resident of Glenview, died April 30 in Glenbrook Hospital, Glenview.
Mrs. Clements was born March 2, 1923 in Taxila, British India (now Pakistan) and was raised in nearby Rawalpindi where her father was an administrator and chemistry professor at Gordon College and her mother supervised a leper colony.
She graduated from Woodstock School in the foothills of the Himalyas in 1940, then moved to the United States and entered Westminster College in Pennsylvania, from which she graduated in 1944.
She met and married Ernest "Vint" Clements in 1944 soon after he was inducted into the army. After the war the couple moved to Chicago. The family moved to Glenview in 1957 and she began her career teaching first-graders and second-graders, first at Cleveland School and then at Middleton School in Skokie. She retired in 1981.
She enjoyed teaching young children and, in turn, was loved by them, relatives said.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, at Glenview Community Church, 1000 Elm Street in Glenview.
Memorial donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association.
