Bainbridge resident Beatrice “Bee” Allis Clementson, age 95, died March 1.

She was born Dec. 29, 1907 in Montreuil sur Mer, Pas du Calais, France to Lettie Torrey Allis and C. Harry Allis. Her father, a painter, had travelled to France so that he could study the post-Impressionists.

At age 5, she returned with her mother and two sisters to the United States, settling first in Milwaukee, Wis., and then in Columbus, Wis., where she grew up.

She attended Battle Creek College in Michigan and became the head dietician at Beloit Hospital in Beloit, Wis. There she met and married George Barber Clementson, a reporter who later became the editor of the Beloit Daily News.

When her husband became the editor of Science Digest, the family moved to Illinois, where she became an assistant librarian at the Glencoe Public Library.

When the couple moved east, she went on to become the librarian at St. Cecilia’s High School in Englewood, N.J., where she worked until well into her 70s. She moved to Bainbridge Island in 1997.

She was preceded in death by her husband, who died in 1962, and her two sisters, Lillian Allis Hager and Letitia Allis Ryan. She is survived by her two daughters, Mary Clementson Baron (David Baron) of Stanford, Calif., Sarah Clementson Yaeger (Michael Yaeger) of Poulsbo, and four grandchildren: Douglas and Matthew Baron, both of Los Angeles, Calif., Mercedes Yeager of Seattle, and Anthony Yaeger of Poulsbo.
