Clarice Lackey Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Clarice Mann Lackey, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and devoted Christian, passed away peacefully at the remarkable age of 99. Born in 1926, Clarice's life was a shining example of faith, compassion, and unwavering love.

Clarice's roots were planted on a farm in Northeast Ohio, where she learned the values of hard work, humility, and generosity. These early lessons shaped her into a woman of extraordinary character and grace. She graduated from Ashtabula High School and continued her education at Malone College in Cleveland, always striving to better herself and inspire those around her.

To her family, Clarice was nothing short of exceptional. She was the heart and soul of every gathering, the gentle hand guiding each generation, and the source of endless encouragement and wisdom. Her love knew no bounds-she celebrated every triumph, comforted every sorrow, and made each person feel uniquely cherished. Clarice's home was a sanctuary, filled with laughter, warmth, and the aroma of her famous home-cooked meals. Her legacy is woven into the fabric of her family, who will forever be grateful for her nurturing spirit and steadfast support.

Clarice's deep faith was the cornerstone of her life. She was a pillar of her church community, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Her kindness and compassion extended far beyond her family, touching countless lives with her generosity and gentle strength.

Clarice leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and faith that will continue to inspire her family for generations. She is survived by her children Linda Jenne (Paul), Alice Minor and the late Danny Fink, grandchildren, Bethany Beebe, John Minor, Danny Fink Jr. and Clarice Towner great-grandchildren, Rylan Frye, Jada White, Jarrod White and Danny Fink III. ,Tazman and Karina Evans, DeAnna Towner and Chris Conley, great-great-grandchildren, Olivia and Madlyn Frye

all who were blessed to know her. Her memory will be treasured, her lessons remembered, and her love felt always.

Her life was a blessing, her memory a treasure. Clarice was deeply loved and will be dearly missed, but her extraordinary spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

In place of flowers the family has asked that any donations be made to Prophetic Life Church (#6134 Clinton Avenue, Dade City, Florida.)
