(Updated) LAST WEEKS OBITUARIES

Obituary for Barbara Clark

On March 11, 2020, Barbara Jean Clark passed away at home surrounded by family who dearly loved her.

Barbara Jean (Smith) Clark was born on October 22, 1934, in Abilene, Texas, and grew up in Sweetwater, Texas. She was the daughter of, and preceded in death by, Darius Cull Smith and Lila Mae (Pardue) Smith. Barbara attended Sweetwater High School, Hardin Simmons University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

During a revival in Texas, Barbara met George Truett Clark. Within three months they were married and set out on a road filled with adventures that would last them 61 years. They had a love that stood the test of time and was evident to all who ever met them. Their relationship was a wonderful example of loyalty, romance, sacrifice, compromise, devotion, respect, commitment and friendship.

Barbara worked alongside George at each of the Southern Baptist churches led by him in Texas, including Dumont, Guthrie, Carey, Nacogdoches, Timpson and Nederland. Barbara continued her work with George at First Baptist Pleasant View after they moved the family to Tennessee. Throughout all their moves Barbara was an avid reader and crafter – she learned to weave baskets, she made pottery, ceramics and jewelry. She loved sewing and embroidery and it showed in the many things she made for family and friends. Barbara loved to have fun, she was almost always giggling or laughing and spending time with her family was her favorite thing to do. She never shied away from trying new things whether it was a new food or surfing. Other than her husband, the people she loved the most were her children.

Barbara was a Christian, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother and a friend. She was the glue that held the family together, she was loyal, loving, creative, funny and supportive. She never failed to tell her children how much she loved them and how proud she was of them. While so many here will miss her greatly, there are many who are overjoyed to see her again, especially her husband.

One of Barbara’s favorite quotes, that she recently found, “We don’t die because we are finished. We die because we are complete.” She has completed the task God had planned for her life. There is only joy in that. It doesn’t mean the ones left behind don’t hurt, it does mean she did an incredible job not only on her family but, also on the impact she had on others that will carry on. She did as her Maker had created her to be. She is complete.

Barbara was preceded in death by her loving husband (George Truett Clark) of 61 years. She is survived by daughter Jeana Georgette Clark (Sherry), daughter Jennifer Leigh Davidson (Tommy), son George Taylor Clark (Linda Kay). She is survived by her brothers Clinton Smith (Sue) and Ray Smith (Day). She is survived by her sister Vera Anglin. She is also survived by grandchildren Clark Thomas Davidson, (Morgan), Macy Margaret Smith (Jonny), Austin Taylor Clark (Emily), Lucas Cole Clark and three great-grandchildren Eleanor Mae Davidson, Henry Taylor Clark, and Amelia Ruth Davidson.
