Ommie Clinkscale Obituary
Ommie Lee was born May 27, 1933 in Gosport, Alabama and was the daughter of Carrie Lee and Dora Lambert Burroughs. She dedicated much of her life to caring for others, retiring as a nurse's assistant from Park Vista Nursing Home. A devoted member of Pilgrim Baptist Church, Jesus was the cornerstone of her life.
Ommie had a true gift for cooking and found great joy in feeding everyone who came through her door-no one ever left her home hungry. Her food was not only delicious, it was made with love and brought comfort to everyone. She also enjoyed thrifting, singing, and being around her family. It was a well-known fact that Ommie had endless generosity and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in her community. She read the Word of God daily and professed Psalm 91 to everyone she met and loved until her very last breath. The condition of her Bible said it all and was a reflection of her daily walk with God. She was a praying mother, grandmother, and friend whose spiritual strength left a lasting impact on many.
She leaves to celebrate her life and legacy three daughters, Regina Steele (Mohammad), of San Jose, CA, Lorene Conley (Thomas) of Youngstown, and Serena Steele of Cleveland; three sisters, Bessie Lee Sims of Mobile, Alabama, Ada Dell Williams of Newark, NJ and Corine Wiggins of Louisville, KY; four grandchildren,
Candice Conley, Star Steele, Natasha Conley, and Taylor (Shawn) Frost; a great granddaughter, Ahmina; daughter-in-law, Faitha Steele; and a host of family and friends.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Willie Steele and her second husband, Roscoe Clinkscale along with two sons, John E. Steele and Chad Clinkscale; a granddaughter, Tiara Steele; and her 10 siblings.
Visitation will be Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. at the L. E. Black, Phillips & Holden Funeral Home. A celebration of her life will follow immediately at 10:00 a.m.

Hello! Hello! Ommie! Sister, I miss you more than words can say, but in my heart you are always with me. I was just sitting here thinking about all the fond memories we shared and how I miss you coming down south. You were a big part of my life. I remember we were shelling butter beans, and talking about our hometown Gosport, Alabama. I can go on and on and on, my heart goes heavy now, until we meet again.
From Jerome(nephew) I you and I enjoyed eating your cabbage.
Yvonne(niece) I love you. I remember you use to sing the song, I´m Going Up Yonder. Aunt Ommie, I will miss you.
Cynthia(niece) First of all, in my heart you are still with me. I love you, cherish you dearly. I remember you use to say, "honey sit down, I know you´re tired and let´s eat." Aunt Ommie, I will miss your visits to Mobile, Alabama.

As the daughter of Edward Clinkscale (deceased), who was brother to Roscoe Clinkscale (deceased), I send my sincerest prayers and condolences to Aunt Ommie´s family & friends. I didn´t get to know her much because I moved away but what a great long life she lived in service to others. May she rest in beautiful peace.
