Carson was born September 27, 2021, in Iowa City, Iowa. Even though we were given much more time with Carson Grace than we had ever hoped for - even though we know she is now at peace - we grieve for the sweet baby girl who fought so hard and taught us all the true meaning of the word Grace. But we only grieve so much because we loved so much. Carson was so well loved by absolutely every person who came into contact with her and even by so many who never met her but knew her name and her story. She is survived by her parents, Blandon and Greta (Smeins) Clemons of Washington, Iowa; maternal grandparents, Bryce and Krista Smeins of Washington, Iowa; paternal grandparents, Johnny and Tracye Botts of Owingsville, Kentucky; maternal great grandmother, Ruth Boheman of Ackley, Iowa; maternal great grandparents, Harlan and Martha Smeins of Ackley, Iowa; paternal great grandfather, John Botts of Owingsville, Kentucky; paternal great grandparents, Robert and Charlene Clemons of Sharpsburg, Kentucky; uncle, Joe Smeins and wife Tristan of Waterloo, Iowa; and aunt, Breana Oliver, husband Charles and daughter Aubre of Paris, Kentucky. Carson was preceded in death by her maternal great grandfather, Glenn Boheman; paternal great grandmother, Margaret Botts and one aunt, KaShawn Botts. A child of God. She taught us how precious life is and to love, pray and care for others.
