Viva Lee Clemens, 77, Springfield, Missouri passed away peacefully September 5, 2022.  Viva was born in Omaha, NE. She was a loving mother of two. She worked at Williams Cleaners in Lincoln Nebraska for 13 years and the Salvation Army for a short time before her retirement.

Viva was very proud of her family. She loved each and every person unconditionally. Everyone could talk to Viva like they were the only person in the room, making each person feel special and loved. Viva's passions were her grand and great grandchildren, reading or listening to books and spending time with family.  She was known in the family as having the best potato salad and fried chicken. She loved to cook for family in her younger years.

She is survived by her daughters Kari (John) Krebsbach of Albuquerque, NM, Jamie (Don) Ekstrom of Springfield, Missouri.  She is also survived by five grandchildren and three (with one on the way) great-grandchildren whom she loved deeply. Viva is preceded in death by her parents, former husbands, sisters and brother.

Viva's Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in a private family gathering.
