Clementine Thomas Wehba

Clementine ("Clem") Thomas Wehba passed away on August 9, 2015 at the age of 85. Born on October 30, 1929 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Clem was the youngest child of Emma and Ernest Thomas. Orphaned by the age of eleven, she was raised by her older siblings. She graduated from Ole Miss in 1952. Upon completing college with a degree in business, she worked for the Army Corps of Engineers in Vicksburg. She married Mickey Wehba in October 1958 and moved to Oklahoma City where they raised their three children. Clem had a long career as a real estate agent and as a business owner in partnership with her husband, Mickey, at Wehba's OK Market. She was active in both St. Elijah's Church and the Bonne Heure Club, in which she held several offices. Clem was well known and loved for her kindness, sense of humor, and warm Southern charm. She was an enthusiastic and loving grandmother known affectionately as "Sitti" to her six grandchildren. In addition, she was a generous donor to many charities and animal welfare organizations. Clem was predeceased by her beloved son Michael Dee Wehba and her six siblings Vivian, Billy, Ernest, George, Bertha, and Evelyn. She is survived by her loving husband, Mickey; daughter Missy Hedges and husband Tim; son John Wehba and wife Simone; and her beloved grandchildren Hannah, Lucy, Cassady, Ben, Annabelle, and Jane. The family is grateful to the caring staff at Integris Hospice House and expresses heartfelt gratitude to Lakeshia Dawson for the loving, compassionate care and companionship she provided to Clem during the last months of her life.
