Rather, she tirelessly devoted her life to her family. Some of her hobbies included singing in the church choir, crafting with her grandchildren, ceramics and playing cards and board games with family and friends.

She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Bill Clark; her three children, William Clark (Beverly) of Charleroi, Susan Price (Khlar) of Marianna and Christopher of North Charleroi. She is also survived by her sister, Janyce Hickman (Bernie) of Columbus, Ohio; and her brother Jack Conn (Lisa) of Avella. She had three beloved grandchildren whom she adored, Breann Clark, Bayley Clark and Cameron Clark; along with several nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart.
