Clementine Mary Cane was born April 17, 1947 at Wagner, South Dakota to Thomas and Eleanor (LeClaire) Cane. She was 78 at the time of her death. She entered into eternal rest on February 2, 2026 at the Mobridge Regional Hospital surrounded by her family.

She grew up in the Milk’s Camp area. Went to school in St, Charles and obtained her GED in Pierre. She then moved to Aberdeen to attend Northern State University, graduating in 1995 with a bachelors degree in Social Services. She worked in Mobridge at the Chief Gall Youth Treatment Center and retired due to her health.

She never wanted to go to a nursing home, so her two granddaughters Mackenzie White Bull and Kaitlyn Brock took turns caring for her until her death.

Clementine was the most selfless, loving and kindest mother and aunt a family could ask for. She always thought of others before herself. She provided a home for anyone that needed one, her door and table were always open to family and friends.

She had 46 years of sobriety and she gave help to anyone who needed it. She was loved and respected by so many.

Blessed to have had her as a mother are Suzette Antelope of Aberdeen, SD; Paulette Wright of Sioux Falls, SD; Darin Wright (Amy) of Sisseton, SD; Doug Wright of Sioux Falls, SD; and Tia Yellow of Ft Yates, ND; she also had 26 grandchildren and 46 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson.

She was a direct descendent of Chief Good Cane Milk.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Eleanor Cane; her brothers: Levi (Sonny) Cane, Everett Cane, Reginald (Buddy) Cane; Lars Cane and Douglas Cane; her beloved sister Bonnie Rose; her daughter Shelia Antelope-Cane and infant son Robert Wright; her granddaughter Tomasine Hope and grandson Ramy Hill.

She will and is missed greatly by her family and friends.
