Nehemie Seraphin

A Life Full of Sass, Style, and So Much Love.”

Obituary

Born on August 16, 1982, Nehemie Seraphin was the beloved daughter of Jehova Walter Seraphin and Marie Therese Jean. From an early age, she carried herself with confidence and humor, with a heart that made room for everyone. Nehemie was known for her sass, her style, and the way she showed up in every space she entered.

She was deeply social and had a gift for building community wherever she went. She sang in women’s choirs, participated in culinary presentations, and brought people together with ease. The wide range of people who proudly call her sister and friend is a testament to the community she created throughout her life.

She loved being with friends, dancing wherever music was playing, and shopping — especially when it meant surprising someone with a brand-new outfit she knew would look perfect on them. You could count on her to share her sense of style and to know exactly what would make your outfit pop. Sharing what she had to uplift others was one of her many gifts. Whether it was her time, her wise counsel, or her financial support, you could always count on Nehemie to use her resources to ease whatever burdens you carried.

Nehemie also had a special way of connecting with children. She showed up faithfully to school shows, award assemblies, communions, baby showers, and birthday parties. Nehemie spent time making each child feel truly seen and celebrated. Her love ran so deep that she was honored to serve as godmother to Nigeria Starks and Kater Suivant.

She was a proud graduate of Miami Edison Senior High School, Class of 2000, and carried those memories with her throughout her life. In her work at Florida Kidney Physicians, Nehemie served patients with compassion and skill, using her fluency in English, Haitian Creole, and Spanish to help families feel heard and cared for. She was more than an employee — she was someone people relied on.

Nehemie is survived by her husband, Nevens Dominique; her father, Jehova Walter Seraphin; her maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Jean Baptiste, her sisters, Mideline Seraphin, Walnette Seraphin, Roselaure Examar, Marjorie Walna Seraphin, Wideline Seraphin, and Walna Seraphin; her brother, Youness Seraphin; and many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Marie Therese Jean (2017); her brother, Josue Seraphin (2024); her niece, Alexandra Fevrier (2016); and her aunt, Evelyne Jean Baptiste (2017).

Nehemie lived loudly, joyfully, and on her own terms. She brought laughter, loyalty, and love wherever she went. While our hearts are heavy, they are also full of gratitude for the incredible 43 years we were blessed to have her. We will remember her in the ways she taught us to show up — boldly, and generously.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Nehemie. Remembering our times together from childhood to adulthood, I will always remember her as funny, loving, and a true light in this world. She brought joy wherever she went, and her spirit touched so many lives. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Seraphin family during this difficult time. May her memory bring comfort, and may God’s gentle peace be with all who loved her.

Nou gendwa pèdi plizyè ane apa, men moman nou te rekonekte a te vin tounen youn nan chapit ki pi klere nan lavi m. Jantiyès ou, ri ou, ak chalè ou te pote nan chak chanm ap toujou gen valè pou mwen. Mwen rekonesan pou dezyèm chans sa a pou m konnen w ankò. Moun renmen w, yo sonje w, epi yo p ap janm bliye w.

Some souls shine for a lifetime, others for a single and brilliant moment.

But the light they leave behind stays with us forever.

In quiet memories, gentle laughter and every heartbeat that remembers you.

It had been years since I last saw you. When you saw me, you smiled and said, “You still look the same.” Your smile was infectious, just like I remembered.

You came around the desk, gave me a big hug and asked, “Are you okay?” knowing I was in that office for a reason. I told you, “You know… it’s hard. I’m trying.”
You shared little tips and strategies that helped you through your own journey. You spoke with honesty, compassion, and understanding. We exchanged numbers and said we would keep in touch. I’m so sorry that I didn’t.

I’m grateful beyond words that I was able to see you again before saying goodbye this weekend. I truly believe God allowed that moment to happen.
God had other plans for you. Though my heart is heavy, I trust His will.

Thank you for your kindness, your warmth and your infectious smile. You made a difference.

Dear Cousin Nehemie,

It still doesn’t feel real writing this. You were more than family to me — you were warmth, laughter, and a light every time you walked into a room. I will always remember your smile and the way you made everyone feel comfortable and loved. You had a special way of bringing people together, and whenever you were around, there was always joy.

My mom and my grandma always spoke about how kind and caring you were, and how you never hesitated to help others. You showed love not only with words but with your actions, and that is something I will never forget. I grew up seeing how much you cared about family, and it taught me what love really looks like.

Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the love you gave to all of us. You will forever live in our hearts and in the stories we continue to share about you.

Rest peacefully, cousin. We love you and will never forget you.

Love always,
Your cousin

From middle school to adulthood you were perpetually a kind hearted individual with a such an alluring soul. As I’m writing on your memory wall, it’s compressed to believe that our high school reunion in September 2025 would be our last encounter, although we agreed afterwards to meet up for brunch but never had a set stone date. If I can be honest, because of you I altered my decision to attend our HS reunion, which we both were beyond elated. A unforgettable night of hugs, laughter, dances & conversations. Thank you for the memory that will remain with me. Heaven has gained a phenomenal angel, named Nehemie Seraphin. Queen, you’ll forever be missed and never forgotten.

I met Nehemie in middle school at Horace Mann Middle about 32 years ago, and from the very beginning she carried a light that felt intentional,as if kindness was her calling. She was compassionate, effortlessly funny, deeply understanding, always positive, and graceful in ways that went beyond appearance. No matter where life carried us, our paths always found their way back to each other, as if guided by something greater than chance.
Her transition has been a heavy one to hold, because souls so full of life feel eternal to us. You never imagine them leaving. I encouraged her to come to our 25th class reunion, and my heart overflows with gratitude that she did because that night became a sacred memory. One last hug, one last kiss, one last moment of laughter and closeness, held tighter than ever, sealed in time.
Heaven has welcomed a rare and beautiful spirit. Earth was better because she walked here. And love....love remains.
