By obits

Kimberly A. Clark, 62, of Belle Vernon, Washington Township, passed away Friday, May 8, 2020, at her home surrounded by her loving family. Born April 12, 1958, in Pittsburgh, Kim was the daughter of the late Kenneth R. Clark and Eleanor Forty Clark, who survives and resides in Belle Vernon. A resident of Belle Vernon, Kim was a member of St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church in Belle Vernon. She held a Master’s of Business Administration and worked as a business analyst for Equitrans Midstream Natural Gas Co. Kim was an avid theater lover and long held a subscription to the “PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh” series. She enjoyed travel, reading and gardening. Her favorite place to be was the beach. Almost 20 years ago, she put together plans for a family vacation in Dewey Beach, Del., and the trip became a much-anticipated annual event for the family in Dewey and later, Rehoboth Beach. Of all the things that Kim loved, nothing meant more to her than her family. She was a devoted daughter, supportive sister and doting aunt. Kim liked to say that “you make your own happiness,” and she made hers by living a life distinguished by kindness, generosity, good humor and love. In addition to her mother, Kim is survived by sister, Lisa Clark and brother-in-law Kevin T. White of San Francisco, Calif.; sister, Amy Clark-Grubb and brother-in-law Steven Grubb of Hummelstown; and brother, Kenneth R. Clark II and sister-in-law Priscilla of Pittsburgh. She is also survived by her nephews, Logan Clark Grubb, Conor Clark Grubb and Kenneth R. Clark III; and a niece, Claire Isabelle Clark. Due to COVID-19 restrictions and state mandate, visitation and funeral services will be private for the family with the Rev. Joel Boco of St. Sebastian Roman Catholic Church officiating. Funeral services will be live streamed at noon Tuesday, May 12, 2020, via the funeral home website. Entombment will follow at Belle Vernon Cemetery. Funeral arrangements entrusted to PARZYNSKI FUNERAL HOME & CREMATIONS LLC, family owned and operated, 626 Broad Ave., Belle Vernon, 724-929-6183. Please extend your sympathies and condolences to the family and view the funeral services at the funeral home’s website, www.parzynskifuneralhome.com.
