MARC CLARK Obituary
Of Edgewood died Thursday, September 20, 2018, after recent open-heart surgery. He had just celebrated his 79th birthday.

Our heartfelt sympathies are for you dear Betsy during this most difficult time. We will sorely miss Marc and his irrepressible spirit, his ready wit and his warm, endearing smile. Memories of times spent with you both have helped to soften our sadness over these past few days; of shared feasts and ample wine, of raised glasses on New Year's Eve, of outrageous hats and intrepid masks, of singing everything Patsy Cline and laughing out loud at ourselves, again and again.

To Colleen, Amy and Kelly,
So many happy memories of Marc as we navigated our way through life. Guitar sing alongs ala John Denver, fabulous Cowboy Chili, a popped champagne cork during Watergate, that wonderful day before the Supremes and so much more. My children and I send you our heartfelt condolences. Marjorie (Sweitzer) Hodges.

I worked with Marc at WIIC-TV (now WPXI-TV) back in the 70's. He was a bright, talented director and was always fun to work with. We both found successful second careers as lawyers. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed. May his memory be a blessing.
