BARRINGTON, R.I. - EntSun -- The family of Joseph Clemens announces the celebration of his life, honoring a man whose presence, love, and quiet strength left a lasting imprint on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Joseph Clemens was a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather whose life was defined by his deep commitment to family. His legacy is one of love, resilience, and connection—values that will continue to live on through the many lives he touched.

He is survived by his loving wife, Traci Stafford-Clemens, a history-making titleholder crowned Mrs. Rhode Island America 2004, becoming the first and only African American woman to hold the title in the state. She went on to make national history as the first visibly pregnant contestant to compete on the nationally televised Mrs. America stage—six months pregnant with twins—demonstrating extraordinary strength, grace, and determination. Traci is also the co-founder of the Mrs. Earth® International and Mrs. USA Earth® pageant organization, a global platform dedicated to empowering women and promoting environmental awareness.
