Anna Clarke Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 3, 2025.
Annie passed away on October 31, 2025, at Milford Place surrounded by her family. Anna Mae (Annie) was born June 9, 1928, in Darby, Pennsylvania to David and Beatrice (Morris) MacDougall. She was raised in Chester, PA and graduated in 1946 from Chester High School. In October of 1946 she married Harold (Hoot) Clarke. They shared 56 years of marriage before Hoot passed in June of 2003. In addition, Annie is predeceased by her parents, her daughter-in-law Carolina Clarke and her companion of 10 years, Pete Steele.
She is survived by her children Dennis (Denise) Clarke, Pamela Dennis, Janice (Craig) Tunell and David Clarke. Her grandchildren Gabriella (Todd) Wegman, Michael (Chrissy) Clarke, Steven (Tami) Clarke, Craig (Sarah) Tunell Jr, Kim Tunell, Mollie Dennis, Joseph McDonald, Jonathan (Sarah) McDonald. She was blessed with great grandchildren Carolina Wegman, Logan Wegman, Juliana Wegman, Aubree Clarke, Adrianna Clarke, Ellianna Clarke, Colton Clarke, Caden Clarke, Nora Tunell, Olivia Tunell, Mack Tunell, Coraleigh Hopkins, Kevin Hopkins III, Fiona McDonald, and Joseph McDonald III.
Annie loved doing ceramics, stained glass, coloring, word search puzzles and in recent years Diamond Dotz. She bowled for many years and later took up golf. She loved playing cards and dominoes. She loved to travel and visited every state except Alaska and Hawaii. She spent the last several years at Milford Place Assisted Living, where she was affectionately known as Sophia of the Golden Girls or Trouble with a capital T. Annie never refused a beer, glass of wine, Manhattan or in later years a gin and tonic.
The family would like to thank the staff at Milford Place for the exceptional and compassionate care she received as well as all the friends she made there.
At the request of the family, services will be private. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to your favorite charity.
