She was educated in Freeport schools and graduated from Freeport High School with the class of 1959. On Oct. 6, 1962, she married the love of her life – whom she met through people she knew at First Baptist Church in Freeport – Ralph H. Clark. She served as pianist and organist for over 50 years, beginning as a child in the Freeport church, and blessing others with her musical gifts through the decades. She is survived by her older daughter Ruth Clark, who now resides in Richmond, and her younger daughter Lois Clark, who returned to Freeport from Senegal in 2022.
