Faye Clarke Obituary
Born in Illinois on December 26, 1927, Faye, her husband, Robert Clarke, and their children moved to La Jolla in 1958.
Faye devoted herself full-time to raising her three children, Tina Clarke (Scott) Boughton, Bobby (Stacy) Clarke and Cathy Clarke (Greg) Hutchins. She volunteered actively with La Jolla Elementary PTA, La Jolla Junior Theater and La Jolla Track Club. Faye's kindness and generosity provided warmth and emotional safety. Through the years, for many children in La Jolla, her home became their second home.
After her children were grown, Faye began a career with State Farm Insurance in La Jolla, where she worked for 23 years. Faye then joined her son-in-law's medical practice where she worked as a receptionist until two months before her passing.
Faye was a devoted grandmother to Sean (Jennifer) Rodgers, Kyle Zimmer and Bradley Zimmer; and great-grandmother to Owen Rodgers.
A strong advocate of social and economic justice, Faye supported many charities. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to care.org or worldwildlife.org.

To the Clarke family,
My heart goes out to you all. When death strikes, a happy family may be overwhelmed with sadness. No one needs to tell you that death is a tragedy. Take comfort in knowing that God is one “who supplies endurance and comfort.” (Romans 15:5) Since the Bible assures us that God does not change with time, we can have confidence that God supplies comfort in various ways to those in need. Never underestimate the value of prayer to get you through your pain.

All will surely miss the charming presence of Mrs. Clark on their visits to Dr. Boughton's office. I know I will.
