Angela Clarke Obituary

ANGELA CLARKE M.D. Angela W. Clarke, M.D., passed away June 17, 2010. She was born in Baltimore, Nov. 4, 1932, to Luke E. Webb and Cora Mayfield Webb. One of 10 children, she grew up in a poor neighborhood, but dreamed of becoming a medical doctor from the age of five. Serving in Korea for the U.S. Air Force, she rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After earning a medical doctorate from the University of Maryland and establishing a prosperous practice in the Los Angeles area, Dr. Clarke moved her medical offices to Las Vegas in 1975. She served as a professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, and as Clark County Medical Society president in 1984 and 1985. Known and respected by her peers for her uncanny ability as a diagnostician, Dr. Clarke received numerous accolades and awards during her lifetime. After her retirement, she turned her attention to public service for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8250 and the American Legion Post 76. She also pursued her love of dance, theater and singing. Her zest for life never flagged or faltered, but blossomed ever more, touching all she met. Dr. Clarke is survived by four siblings, Zelda Anderson, Stanford Webb, Rudy Webbe and Brenda Webbe-Haneff. She also leaves behind three children, Wuan A. Clarke, Indranee K. Clarke and Tarita K. Clarke; and granddaughter, Dakota A. Clarke. She will be interred with full military honors at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 7, at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 1900 Buchanan Blvd., in Boulder City, (702) 486-5920. A reception will follow at noon, at The Center, 6731 W. Alexander Road, Las Vegas NV 89108, (corner of Rainbow Blvd. and Alexander Road, in northwest Las Vegas). For driving directions, go to Mapquest or www.lasvegascsl.org. The family has requested, in lieu of flowers, that donations may be made in her memory to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Donor Services, P.O. Box 650309, Dallas, TX 75265-0309, or to Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8250, 4831 Alido Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89147.

Indranee, Juan and Tarita; Your mother will always be with you. She resides in your hearts and will always be there to aid you and comfort you in your days ahead. I know this for a fact. Our elders never die, they live on through us. Shine on all of you and celebrate your mom's very full life. She, and you are lucky to have had as many days together as you did. I think Indranee should sing Moon River at the service today...

Indranee, I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. No matter how old someone is, when a parent dies, the person feels like an orphan. It is extremely hard to realize you have suddenly become the adult, no longer someone's child. Your mom sounded like a wonderful woman and one can clearly tell from where you got your beauty. I hope your memories of your mom will help sustain you through these difficult times. Our hearts are with you. Happy Robey and Brackley Frayer

Tony and I became friends when were four years old beginning kindergarten. We were in the same class all during high school. We maintained contact throughout the years. She was always vivacious and had a zest for living. I loved my dear friend and will miss her immensely.

When I moved to Las Vegas in 1976, I needed to find a family physician. I was lucky enough to pick Dr. Clarke's name from the phone book. She was the epitome of what a family physician should be; caring and competent. She was irreplaceable. She remains one of my most admired people for her accomplishments. My condolences to her family.

I'll always remember Toni for her zest for life and vivaciousness.

Toni's most important legacy, for me, lives on. She left us all . . . Wuan, Indranee, and Tarita.

I knew how proud she was of them . . . even when fussin'.

I'll miss you Toni!

I have known the Webb family most of my life, and I love them all. Even though there were miles between us, I thank God for the opportunity to talk , laugh, and pray with Tony, and to be a part of her last few hours on earth. In this short time, I have become very close to Wuan, Indranee', and Tarita. Know that I am only a dial away. You may call me at any time. However; remember God is only a prayer away, and He's always there.
