Bettie Clark Obituary
01/14/1931 - 02/11/2025
Bettie Lou (Wallace) Clark, 94, of Houston died peacefully Tuesday evening, February 11, 2025 in her home where she had lived for over 71 years. Here is her obituary, in her own words:
I was born on January 14, 1931 to James Carl and Ona Arrena Wallace in Magnolia, Arkansas. I became a Christian as a child and was baptized in the Central Baptist Church in Magnolia. I graduated from the Magnolia High School in 1948 and from the Lilly Jolly School of Nursing in Houston, Texas in 1951. I married McGinnis Clark December 23, 1951, and we were happily married until his death in 2007. We became members of Baptist Temple church in Houston in 1954. We had four children – Wayne Clark, Robert Clark, Mia Nyschens, and Paul Clark (Judy), four grandchildren – James Simmons, Alan Simmons, Nikolai Nyschens, and Micah Nyschens, and two great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to any worthy charity.
A memorial service will be held Monday, February 24, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Pat H. Foley funeral home, 1200 West 34th Street, Houston, Texas 77018. Burial will be the next day Tuesday, February 25, 2025 at 11:00 AM at Forest Grove Cemetery south of Rockdale, Texas, 8092 US HW 77, Rockdale, Texas 76567.
The Clark family greatly appreciates all of the caregivers who have worked with Bettie over the past several years, and the hospice workers who have been with her this past year.
