Donna was born May 31, 1932 in Merrill, Wisc. She married Perry Clark on March 19, 1949 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, International Falls, Minn. They celebrated 69 years of marriage before Perry’s death in 2018.
She retired from the former Blossomland Learning Center in Berrien Springs as the Food Service Supervisor. She enjoyed cooking, sewing, crocheting, camping and fishing. One of her favorite pleasures was making her famous “Gaga pancakes” for breakfast and watching her grandchildren sitting around the kitchen table enjoying them. Late in her life she succumbed to the debilitating symptoms of dementia.
She is survived by her sisters: Lois (Jack) Mausolf and Margaret (Stan) Bogart Kroeger; children: Larry (Chana) Clark, Linda (Roger) Preston, Debra Johnson, Lorayne Clark, Jeff (Jeanne) Clark, and Valerie Clark; 19 grandchildren: Heidi, Heather, Perry, Nick, Brandon, Alex, Shelli, Melinda, Megan, Nathan, Aarin, Amber, Karah, Kelsey, Lyndsey, Garrett, Everrett, Allison and Alexis; 19 great-grandchildren: Oliver, Raelynn, Amanda, Kayla, Austin, Landon, Jack, Geni, Noah, Jacob, Riley, Bradee, Laney, Zeke, Tate, Mason, Sloane, Jonah, and Viviana; three great-great grandchildren: Kay’lianna, Daven Jr., and Kaivan.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; children, Carol Ann Schlitt and Dan Clark; and siblings, Edwin Neitzel and Leona Siebert.
Rest in our Lord’s arms, sweet Momma, Grandma, Gaga.
