Helen Elizabeth Clark

Helen Elizabeth Clark went home to be with the Lord on January 9, 2017. She will be missed by her family and a multitude of friends. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Unexpectedly widowed at 41, she successfully raised 5 children while working as a full time registered nurse in Dallas, Texas. Ending a 47 year career in nursing she moved to Canton, Texas where she built and single handedly ran Aunt Sis' Bed and Breakfast. She loved serving people and her guests often returned because they felt so at home. She was an excellent cook and always made room at her table for her children's friends to eat with the family. She loved to garden and was fiercely independent, insisting even until the end that she needed to renew her driver's license.

She was born in Wills Point, Texas on December 21, 1928, preceded in death by her husband, Ray Barnette Clark, her parents; Thomas Hill Park and Lillie Gertrude Park and three brothers, Aubrey, Lloyd and Tom Park.

She is survived by her sister, Marie Park; five children; Marky Organ, Mike Clark, Tony Clark, Susan May and Donna Clark, ten grandchildren; Marisa Smelley, Jay Organ, Matt Organ, Dawson Clark, Madeline Field, Evan Clark, Charlotte May, Ali May, Meghan Clark, Carson Clark and seven great grandchildren; Brooke Organ, Reanna Smelley, Ashlyn Smelley, Jaylen Organ, Madyson Organ, Henry Clark and Vale Clark. She had two wonderful

daughter-in-laws; Michele Clark and Loree Clark and son-in-law, David May.

Honorary Pall Bearers: grandsons; Jay, Matt, Dawson, Evan, Carson and her favorite son-in-law, David May.
