Jeanie (Claire) Bryson Clemmens died peacefully on July 4 surrounded by her loved ones. She was born November 21, 1951 in Pittsburgh, PA, living much of her life in Penn Hills and later in Westmoreland County. Jeanie was a graduate of Penn Hills High School and was a proud Pitt alumna.

A creative soul, she authored several books, including the Lieutenant James mystery series (Something Fishy in Manhattan), a historical non-fiction work Upon the Moon and Woodstock, the novel Jigsaw, and many other poems and songs.
