Jamie Clark Obituary

CLARK, Jamie Lee Jamie Lee Clark (Bengtson) left this life to begin her new life with her Heavenly Father on December 17th, in Spokane, Washington, surrounded by her family. She was born on September 22, 1984, in Butte, Montana. Though she had Cerebral Palsy, she did not let it stop her. She walked across the stage for her graduation from Butte High School in 2003. She received a business degree from Spokane Community College and two teaching certificates from Ashworth University. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She married her soul mate, Michael Clark, on September 6, 2008, and together they shared life's joys and experienced it to the fullest. Jamie and Mike proudly served together in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Jamie's greatest achievement in her life was her ability to show everyone she met that she loved them and was a friend forever. Her beautiful smile would light up any room. Jamie is survived by her husband Michael Clark, her parents Patrick and Jan Walsh, Michael's parents Kimball and Dianne Clark and extended family. Memorials in Jamie's name can be made to Shriners Children's Hospital in Spokane. Services will be conducted Saturday, December 21, at 10:00 am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 2721 East 63rd Ave., Spokane.

It hardly seems like a year has passed without you physically. Thank you for always being there and helping me. It has been different and at times difficult but I think about the good times and the people you still touch and inspire, and It makes me happy and I always remember that you never wanted me to be sad. Thank you for always taking care of me Honey.

For my daughter, my Angel, my heartbeat... God called you home. Your place in heaven was ready. As this year has past I have cried, my heart has a emptiness that I cannot fill. I fill my days with the memories we made and rejoice in the fact that I was your Mom and was able to watch you grow into the beautiful woman you became and see the courage and grace you showed every day. I love you

I miss Jamie. Michael has shared many amazing spiritual communications and messages he's felt impressed about since Jamie's passing. Knowing now that Jamie is at peace with things she struggled with during life, makes the Saviors atonement that much more real and powerful. It has been hard for Michael, but the depths of his character, which I thought were already well established, have only increased since Jamie's passing.

I don't just miss sweet Jamie, I miss the beautiful, inspiring Jamie and Michael couple. They are still a couple but will have to endure a little time apart. I can't think of Jamie without thinking of Michael and all the love they share. I'm so grateful for the time with Jamie and her example.

Michael: I know you are missing "your love" remember she is shining down on all of us, but especially you, dear friend. We will keep her in our hearts. JO Ann Hall

Many have said, and I must witness too, that Jamie had an incredible smile that reminded all who met her, that happiness is a choice. Clearly limited physically since birth, there was no diminishment of joy for Jamie. What I remember too about Jamie is that when she got excited she would sit a little straighter in her chair, which wasn't easy, and feel rushed to get out the words to her question or comment. She was honest always, and valued her agency, and her animals, and the little opportunities she had to bring light to people. She frequently would give my kids little presents on birthdays, or if she sensed they needed it. Our birthdays were one day apart and I will consider it a treasure always that she would want to celebrate it together. One year we all went and watched Paddington 2 in the theater, and she just was beaming the entire time. She was a partner to Michael, and Michael misses her dearly. One day she was having a particularly hard day and she asked with tears in her eyes why life had to be so hard. Words were inadequate then and now to adequately describe the person she became, through trials and triumphs too numerous to mention. She is with her Heavenly Father now. Jamie had a special assignment from her Heavenly Father, and I know he is pleased with how gracefully she submitted to his will, and became the person we all knew. Someday I will see Jamie again, and feel grateful to witness her spirit no longer encumbered by a body that does not work. Praise be to God for such a beautiful friend. We love you Jamie.

Jamie left her mark on this world in a powerful way. Her love, kindness, and smile will never be forgotten. She inspired goodness in others, myself included. I'm so glad to have known her, if only for a short while.

Sterling and I had the privilege of knowing Jamie through church. Though we didn't know her for very long, it was immediately apparent that she was a very special person. Even in her trying times she always had a big smile on her face. Jamie truly was an inspiration to us and will be missed.

Such a beautiful person. I only got to know Jamie for a couple of years but will remember her and her courage forever.

Jamie was a wonderful friend and a great person. I always loved seeing her smile and watching her enjoy the things she liked best: being with Michael, spending time with friends, going out to dinner for Mexican or Italian food, and watching movies. I loved being a witness to her courage and grace. The last several months were really a physical struggle for her, but she was welcoming of her friends to share this time with her. I am so thankful to know Jamie Clark and usually find myself smiling when I think of her and her indomitable spirit.

Jamie will always be one of my favorite people! She was an example to me of amazing faith and gratitude, as well as kindness and service! She and Michael have a true and eternal love story better than any book or movie! Being friends with them has blessed my life immensely, and I think of and miss Jamie often. She was an angel to everyone who knew her, and I am thankful to know that we will all see her again someday.

Emily Hawkins

I miss Jamie! The greatest thing Jamie taught me was that despite her many challenges she always looked outward to lift and care about others. She managed to smile and look on the bright side of things. When I brought my children to visit her, she usually had a gift for them. She was anxious to share what she had with others. She was an angelic person. I feel so grateful to have known Jamie.

Megan Potter

Jamie was so kind and I was amazed at her positive outlook and happiness that emanated even when she couldn't speak and she could only smile. She was inspiring to me! One thing I've realized about Jamie and I that we have in common is that we were born the same year and married the same year (1984/2008)! We were also both born and married in our own birth months (she in September and I in March). I wish I had known Jaime longer, I know we would've been great friends. I know she is in a place of peace and joy. We will all remember her dearly as a light in this world. This world was better because of you Jamie!

To Michael and Jamie's family,
We love Jamie! She was such an example of love and living life to the fullest! She was a wonderful primary teacher to Addie and taught through word and action. Her warmth and caring blessed all she met. We miss her.

My Dearest Friend Jamie:

I am so grateful for the special friendship I had with you. Your beauty inside and out was unsurpassed. Your smile was contagious. You had the kindest soul among any I have ever known. You are safe with the Lord, now. May you walk by His side and find everlasting love, joy, and peace. I hope that one day I can meet you again, in Heaven. Always fly, beautiful angel.

Love always,
Courtney

I met Jamie a few years ago when I went to her's and Michael's apartment to get them started on their adventure in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Such a sweet and interesting lady. The smile she shared in times after were like God's sunshine. What a priveledge to have known her and now knowing she is now with her God, I will cherish those times we spent together. God's blessings to you Miss Jamie and to Michael and your family.
