Clementine Sue Nielsen
April 24, 2020 – December 27, 2023
Clementine Sue Nielsen, age 3.5, went into the loving arms of Jesus on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, surrounded by family.
Clementine was born on April 24, 2020, in Omaha, Ne. to Ashley Patricia Nielsen and Byron Keith Jackson. Clementine was born a warrior. From day one, she fought to live every day and to the fullest. Clementine was always filled with joy that spread to so many people. She touched so many people’s lives with her beautiful and fiery personality. She enjoyed singing and dancing with her mom, dad, and older sisters, playing with her classmates at preschool, and spending her days with her nurses that became like family.
Her parents and sisters will always remember Clementine (Clemma) as having the most amazing curls, a radiant smile, a big heart, and an amazing capability to love everyone. She may have been a little girl with little words, but she sure got her point across. Her impact and influence will last a lifetime.

I was looking for another obituary and ran across sweet Clementine. I loved taking care of her and singing songs, playing toys, rocking her, etc
I am so sorry!
I am so heartbroken about this sweet baby. Extending my most sincere condolences to my cousins at the loss of their beautiful little girl. May God give you the comfort you seek.
A light has truly gone off in our lives. Clementine was a darling granddaughter and she will be both missed and remembered. We wanted to see her grow and living here life to the fullest. But the Lord wanted her home. Through our tear and sadness we know she’s in a better place.
She will always be my “forever three year old” angel watching over us.
This is the worst pain we’ve ever felt
I am normally a man of many words, but they escape me as I try to comprehend the loss of a child. Ashley, I may not be able to make it on Thursday or Friday, but please know I am shrouding you with love and my big hugs! I hope you and the rest of your family know there is an entire world praying out there for you all and we are praying for peace and that which is needed by everyone! Clementine will always be with us as she shines down from heaven to shield those that loved and cared for her! Love you!
I am so lucky to get to meet you, Little Clementine! You were such a shining star! I cannot imagine the grief and sadness you feel, Ashley, Keith, Amelia, and Brielynn. I am praying that you can remember all of the special moments you had with her and find solace that she is a free spirit having fun in heaven with God. I am so sorry I cannot make the funeral. My heart bleeds for you.

Dear God, thanks for sharing Clementine and her amazing journey with us 🙏🏽 ❤️.. May her immediate family be surrounded with love and comfort . Clementine will always be remembered with love and a smile. Rest in peace sweet little angel.
Ashley,
I am at a loss for words 💔. My prayers go out to you and the family. May God give you and your family the comfort and strength you need to move through this. I am sorry I could not attend the funeral as I must’ve not logged on in time. Please try to remember the happy memories of sweet Clementine when you are feeling sad. It helped me through a lot.
Dear Ashley and Keith,
My heart breaks for you. I have loved watching Clementine’s journey. She packed so much life and joy into three and a half years. I have been awed by your love and devotion to Clementine..
Although I could not attend services I have watched them.. I loved the tributes and was especially touched by Father saying we shall now pray to Clementine and not for her; she is now your special angel who watches over you and will guide you and she is jumping up and down waving to you saying, Hi Mama, Hi Daddy I am safe and well and running free here and there’s so much to see and do and learn and love…
I want you to know I am here anytime you might want to talk; don’t ever hesitate to call me (402-517-2379). Love in the community of faith never goes away or lessens. As you journey forward, please know we love and care about you and we stand ready to embrace and support you at any time.
Ashley, We are so sorry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. A memorial donation for Clementine was sent to the Nebraska Diaper Bank. Your friends from Children’s Home Health warehouse and purchasing departments.
Rest in Heaven precious angel, Clementine
Many prayers for your family and dear friends.
