Marie Clement
Mayetta, KS

Mrs. Marie Clement, 49, has dedicated most of her life to giving back to other people. She cites family and friend recognitions as some of her greatest accomplishments. Marie is married and has three children. She currently spends her time taking care of her 12 year old son, as well as her infant grand nephew. Marie has a love for children and enjoys cooking and cleaning for her family. She has lived in the state of Kansas for the past six years and currently resides in Mayetta, where she and her family are members of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. Marie, who is quadriplegic, has a passion for increasing public accessibility. She enjoys trying out new restaurants and specialty shops, but has found barriers to accessibility, especially in rural areas. Her goal is to educate others about improving the lives of people with disabilities. She would like to help other people with disabilities broaden their horizons and not feel limited by barriers. In the long term, she would like to develop a tool to review accessibility of local stores and restaurants. Outside of taking care of her family, Marie loves gardening and planting flowers. She is also an artist and works on projects such as beading, crocheting, creating stained glass art, decoupage, and more. Marie describes herself as funny, honest, loving, trustworthy, and challenge-ready.
