Emily Clark Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by St. Joseph Cemetery & Funeral Center on Jan. 17, 2026.
Emily Ninh Clark, 18, of Walnut Creek, California, passed away on December 29, 2025. She was born on April 27, 2007, in Walnut Creek and was deeply loved by her family, friends, and all who knew her.

Emily spent her early childhood in El Cerrito before moving to Walnut Creek, where she graduated from Las Lomas High School. She worked at the Chicken Pie Shop and was known for her kindness, reliability, and gentle, caring nature.

Emily treasured her friendships and was especially devoted to her family. She shared a close and loving bond with her brother Kyle and found great joy in frequent family gatherings. She deeply loved her dogs, Tae and Bear, who brought her comfort and happiness.

Emily enjoyed spending time with friends, listening to music, dancing, traveling, snowboarding, and the freedom she found in driving. She loved good food - especially sweets - and had a special appreciation for her family's cooking.

Kind, compassionate, and quietly funny, Emily had a beautiful way of making others feel cared for and loved. Her generous heart and sweet, kind soul will be remembered always and live on in all those she touched.
