Zella Clark

My condolences to the Clark family. Though I did not know Zella personally, I know that it would have taken an amazing woman to raise a son who would become an excellent educator and advisor.

Deepest condolences to all of Zella's family. What a remarkable woman; she sang in so many ways, I felt privileged to share a note with her. Lots of love, and Good Night Irene.

I knew only of Zella's warmth and drive through her son Ian. Like her son, Zella took on 'educator' as one of the many roles that made her an inspiration to those whose lives she touched. May her spirit continue to live on through all of her family, and through the many others whose lives she shared.

Zella was a gracious lady. I didn't know her all that well but her will to be out in the community against what I would have found significant odds was impressive these past few years. I thoroughly enjoyed her memoir. It was a delightful read. Goodbye, Zella.

Zella was a precious person. I fondly remember how warm and welcoming her and Sid were when we visited them. It was a joy to be given tours of her magnificent gardens throughout the years. Zella inspired me to develop a passion for plants and gardening. She will be missed by so many. I think of her fondly when I see

What an incredible woman! Our deepest sympathy to all the Clark family.

I remember so clearly meeting Zella a number of years ago on the island. Her energy, intelligence, commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Denman island remain firmly in my memory. Our sincere condolences to the Clark family. Howard Wetston and Debbie Fischer

Zella was one of my favorite badminton partners on Denman Island. I last talked to her in March when she attended a mutual friend's birthday party. She and another friend, Phyllis DeWolfe, swam the length of Cultus Lake at age 16. She was a great friend and I'm sorry to see her go. Condolences to her family.

My deepest sympathy to all of Zella's children, their spouses and children. I was very fond of Zella and looked up to her admiring her strength, determination and enthusiasm. I feel Zella lead an interesting life and was a devoted mother. To me she was a special cousin and I will truly miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Mavis MacMillan.

Jo and Steve and the whole Clark family, my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother

We are so sad to hear of Zellas passing.We spent many fabulous years as guests of the Clark Family on Denman Island.Those memories will be with us all forever and Zella will be always in our hearts.Les and Lisa Timar and Family.

I will miss Zella's presence in this world. Zella was a friend of my mom, Doreen Johnson, and I was amazed that she could still remember my mom late in her life, many years after my mom had passed away. My favourite memory is of a special day when Zella took me to a community firing at Gordon's giant underground kiln - and fondly recollect Zella racing around the fire, camera in hand to take photos My thoughts go out to all of you. ~Dawn Binnington
