Beverly Ann Clarke

Beverly Ann [Eckhardt] Clarke, 74, of Temple Terrace, FL, entered eternal rest on July 9, 2026. Born August 25, 1951, she was the heart of her family - devoted wife, cherished mother, doting grandmother and thoughtful sister.

Beverly, also known as Bev, Mom, Oma, Aunt Bev, and best friend leaves behind a family legacy of love and compassion. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Robert Clarke, her 2 children Jennifer [Joe] LoMoglio, Bryan [Gretchen] Clarke, her 4 grandchildren: Payton Wayand, Nick Wayand, Chloe Clarke, and Emorie Clarke, and 1 great-granddaughter Dakota Wayand as well as her siblings Connie [Harvey] Sullivan, Bonnie Meyer, and David [Beverly] Eckhardt as well as a large extended family of nieces, nephews and cousins. She is preceded in death by her parents, William and Dorothy Eckhardt, and her brother Bill Eckhardt Jr.

She was the person that would send a gift to a friend, be there as a shoulder to cry on or a voice of encouragement! Despite her challenges in life her mission was to take care of everyone around her first! She was a lover of animals and enjoyed taking care of her plants. She loved the beach! Her best years were spent at their condo with her family!

Bev enjoyed traveling and in recent years enjoyed her trips to Israel, Italy, Ireland and most recently Australia. She always enjoyed watching Bryan and Jennifer compete in sporting events. Be it a swim meet, baseball game or a golf tournament she was always present, cheering them on. Whether it was Hawaii, California or any other location she attended every college golf tournament Bryan competed in!

A Funeral Mass celebrating Bev’s life will be held on August 10, 2026, at 10am EST at St. Paul Catholic Church 12708 N Dale Mabry Hwy Tampa, FL 33618. A celebration of her life will take place at the parish Family Center following Mass.
