Bonney CLARK Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bonney Gordon Clark (nee White) on February 19, 2015 at the age of 86 years in Ottawa. Beloved wife for 46 years of the late Douglas H. Clark (Member of the Order of Canada) and daughter of the late Arthur and Edna White (nee Moulds). Dear mother of Wendy (Anthony Bailey), Heather (Matthew Faris), Andrew (Patricia Lindsey), and Carolyn (Andrew Mai). Loving grandmother of: Chania, Michelle, Kristen and John Bailey; Samuel, Ethan, and Hannah Faris; Benjamin and Nicholas Lindsey-Clark; and Emily, Aaron and Sarah Mai.

She was an active member of Rideau Park United Church, serving many years on Session as well as a past President of the United Church Women.

Dear Wendy, Heather, Andrew and Carolyn:
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Although the inevitable limitations presented to us by old age have resulted in Bonney and me losing touch with each other in more recent years, I have wonderful memories of our years growing up together. Indeed, she was a great friend throughout my adult life as well. I'm sure she will be greatly missed by all of you and all of her grandchildren. My daughter Barbara would also like to extend her condolences. She has fond memories of playing bridge with Bonney and Carolyn up at Blue Sea Lake. Our deepest sympathies to you all during this difficult time.
