Florida Today -- OMAHA, Neb.— A soldier from a unit in Florida was killed in Iraq, just days before she was due to come home, her family and the military said Friday.

Army Staff Sergeant Lillian Clamens was one of two people who died Wednesday, according to the Department of Defense.

Insurgents fired rockets on Camp Victory in Baghdad from a nearby abandoned school killing Clamens and Army Spc. Samuel F. Pearson, 28, Westerville, Ohio.

Clamens was assigned to the 1st Postal Platoon, 834th Adjutant General Company, Miami.

Family members in Omaha, Neb., say Clamens was due to return to Homestead, next week.

“She was the type of person that was honest,” her niece Sierra Cobbin, of Omaha, told KETV. “She never had a bad bone in her body. She did everything for her family. She was confident, strong and just a very down-to-earth person.”



Clamens, who served in the Army Reserve for 17 years, was a full-time postal worker, and served as an administrative clerk for the unit. She was married with three children.

“She died doing what she wanted to do,” said her sister Dana Cobbin, of Omaha. “I don’t have a sister no more. I miss my baby. I’m going to miss her. I just wanted to see her one last time. She was supposed to come home.”

My condolences to her family. Try to take some solace knowing she is a hero and will always be remembered as such. She is at peace.

I was so sadden to hear that Lillian had been taken from us so soon. Lillian Clamens was one of the finest soldiers, mothers and friend that I’ve had the opportunity to know. There was absolutely nothing that Lillian would not volunteer to help with. She was always there to help with my soldiers anytime night or day. We never had to ask, Lillian was there for us. Lillian will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ray and the children as you go through this difficult time.

Hi
I am an English woman who was sent this page by my American penfriend, Monica. She has a penfriend, Captain James Van Thach, which is how I came to learn of this page. Whilst the world seems to shun us I hope our united front can put a stop to all this madness. I send you all love and hugs and wish you a speedy return home. Take care
Sheila.
