Mom










Marjorie Grace (Barnes) Clark, 89, born June 14, 1924 passed away on December 30, 2013. She left this world surrounded by love. Marjorie was predeceased by her husband Burt, whom she was married to for nearly 60 years, and a brother, Leonard. She is survived by six children, Alan Clark, Arline Clark, Meryl Kovac, Shirley Crotsley, Karen Wells and Wendy Walter; nine grandchildren, Sarah Wells, Jesse D'Onofrio, Anne Marie Lay, Guy Crotsley, Lugene Crotsley, Eric Crotsley, Addy Trussell, Michael VanWagenen and Vincent VanWagenen; eleven great grandchildren, Jackson and Matthew Crotsley, Henry and Owen Lay, Charlotte Trussell, Alex Crotsley, Michael VanWagenen Jr, Blake VanWagenen, Amber, Ciarra and Skye VanWagenen; one great-great grandchild, Kyleigh VanWagenen; and brother, Raymond Barnes. Marjorie was blessed with a sweet, gentle nature and wonderful sense of humor that shone through even though the last 13 years of her life bore the stamp of Alzheimer's. Daughters, Karen and Wendy and Karen's fiancé, Chris Mayville would especially like to thank Kim Carter and the staff of Elizabeth Church Manor for their compassionate care of mom during her final weeks, and their warm support and concern during her final hours. You touched our lives, and certainly touched hers, and we will never forget it.

Memorial Services will be held Monday 11 a.m. at the Allen Memorial Home, 511-513 East Main Street, Endicott, with the Reverend Nancy Krembs officiating. The family will receive friends at the Allen Memorial Home, Monday 10:30 a.m. until service time at 11 a.m.
