Mrs. Clark was my teacher for 5th -8th grade. Her passion for us kids was evident in her attention to detail and care for us. She was invested in our lives and showed us Jesus´ love in countless ways. My desire to always ask questions and learn was inspired by her. Thankful I had the opportunity to be taught by her.

When I think of Donna Clark, I think of someone who was always smiling and laughing. She made everyone feel like they were part of her family. She was the principal and teacher of the Tri-City SDA school for I don't know how many years, but I know that it was long enough that some of her students already have predeceased her, so I'm probably not mistaken if I said she started teaching there in the 1960's until her retirement. The school was very successful under her operation, and my son Michael had the privilege of having her as a teacher. Donna took over as organist at the Saginaw SDA church when Susan Riggs moved away. One day I visited, and the organ was missing. It just wasn't the same without Donna playing. She loved God, she loved her church family, and she loved her students. I know she and Gary made a positive impact on the lives of many. I am looking forward to one day reuniting with this couple in the Kingdom of God!

Donna will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She certainly had many talents! Looking forward to seeing her (and Gary) again when Jesus comes to take His children home. God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mrs. Clark it's Dustin. I just want to say what a beautiful soul you are. You and Mr. Clark will always hold a special seat in my heart. My brother Jordan and I always referred to you and Mr. Clark as grandma and grandpa Clark. I was blessed to see Mr. Clark before he left us, and saw you some years ago when I lived in Birch Run. Mrs. Clark thank you for every memory and every moment I spend with you in my childhood. I love you Mrs. Clark and you will always be with me through the memories I hold. I will see you again soon, I cannot wait to see your smile and hear your laughter, and I'll bring you an apple when we meet again.
