Arlene Clemente Funeral Mass

Arlene Frances Bischoff-Clemente

April 19, 1955 - May 12, 2021

Arlene Frances Bischoff-Clemente, age 66, of Plano, Texas, passed away May 12, 2021, in Dallas. She was a caring wife, mother, sister, and friend.

She was born to Frederick and Frances Bischoff on April 19, 1955 in Brooklyn, New York. She grew up in Oceanside, New York. She fell in love with Vinny Clemente, Sr. and married him on May 13, 1994 in New York.

At age 18 Arlene started working at JCPenney in New York. Her job took her to breath taking places around the world. One place it took her was Texas where she eventually moved to and continued to do what she loved. She worked at JCPenney for 39 years. Over those years she came to know so many people and even found some long-time friends. She retired from JCPenney at an early stage in her life and decided that sitting at home was not what she wanted. Arlene started volunteering at her church, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, and loved every minute of it. Over time her roles and responsibilities within the church grew, allowing her to help many people and the parish. She did not do it alone because she always found friends along the way. She had a magnetic personality that stayed with her all her life.  

Her husband, Vinny Clemente, Sr., passed on May 12, 2009 and 12 years later, on the same date, Arlene left us. She is now with her husband dancing and smiling.

Arlene is survived by her son, Nicholas Clemente; sister, Elizabeth Montenes and a host of other loving family and friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:30 pm on Saturday, May 15, 2021 at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 2700 W. Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, Texas 75023; officiated by The Rev. Bruce Bradley.  The Funeral Mass will be live streamed at  https://youtu.be/WJqjiG8nkVQ
