A Winchester woman faces up to eight years in prison for embezzling more than $300,000 from a church and an affiliated school.
Lois Beatrice Clemons is scheduled to be sentenced March 4 after pleading guilty in Frederick County Circuit Court on January 5, 2010 to 55 counts of embezzlement.
The 57-year-old Clemons formerly worked as a bookkeeper for Shenandoah Valley Baptist Church and Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy. According to court docu-ments, she embezzled the money from December 2003 to January 2009.
Frederick County Commonwealth’s Attorney Glenn Williamson says Clemons used the money to buy real estate and a deck for her house, and to pay for tuition for her children. She also bought cars for her children.
