Kara Clark Obituary
Kara was a deeply loved daughter, mother, sister, niece, cousin, and friend. She was known for her gentle warmth and kindness, and her everlasting faith. Kara inspired and helped many other cancer patients with wisdom and strength gained from her own long journey. Kara loved dogs, especially her current ones, Raven and Flash. Kara had a passionate love of music, enjoying her favorite songs until her last hours.
Kara was the daughter of James and Pamela Klinger of Oshkosh, who were also her very best friends. Kara had two children, Colton and Camille Clark. Her children were the joy, fulfillment, and loves of her life. Together, they experienced beautiful memories filled with laughter, love of family, and a truly special friendship. Kara cherished every moment she spent with her children.
Kara's career success in sales led her to the creation of ""The Greater Valley Guide: Youth, Sports & Activities"", a fun-filled activity guide for families throughout the Fox Valley and beyond.
Along with her parents and children, Kara is survived by a dear brother, Kevin (Catherine) Klinger, nephews Samuel and Nathaniel/Tater Klinger, and niece, Jane Klinger.
Her legacy will be honored and shared with a ""Celebration of Life"" gathering in January 2025, details pending.
A heartfelt ""thank you"" is extended by Kara's family to the medical teams, and staff at the Cancer Center at Froedtert Hospital & Medical College of Wisconsin, for their exceptional care and treatments.

My deepest sympathy! I am so sad to hear of this news. Kara was a beautiful person inside and out. We grew up together as childhood friends, many memories of those times. She was a wonderful mother to Colton and Camille.
May God Bless You and your family in this time of sorrow.

So sorry to hear of Kara’s passing. My wife, EVIE also passed away about two and one half years ago from bile duct cancer. We were married for forty-four years and I miss her very much as I’m sure you miss Kara very much also. God bless you. Jim Kress

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. She was an incredible woman who had a unique way of making everyone feel loved and welcomed. To me, she wasn´t just my best friend´s mom-she was like a second mom, always radiating kindness and happiness. Her warmth and joy were truly contagious, and her love for others was felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
She will be so deeply missed, but her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched. Please know that I´m keeping you all in my thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

My heart is heavy! Such great memories of the Klinger`s house. They always threw the best sleepovers. I remember Mr. Klinger is such a big help. I´m sure all of us girls drove him nuts, but he always was the life of the party! Loved her family very much, although we haven´t been close for years every time I would run into her in a store or wherever it was just like we left off from where we were. Great memories I´m so sorry to the family for your loss. She was a good person. !

My Sweet Kara, I´m heartbroken. We started out as coworkers and became good friends. Kara was such a fighter and NEVER gave up throughout her cancer journey. As I told her, you are my hero. She never complained and always had hope. Her strong faith in our Lord and Savior never wavered. Because of this, I know she is in heaven and out of pain. I know how much she loved CC & Cam, her Mom & Dad, Raven and Flash. Anyone that was loved by Kara was one lucky person. I admired how Kara always called it the way it was, whether in business or in her personal life. She dealt with whatever was thrown her way and put a positive spin on it. I miss our texts, phone calls and arguing over who loved who more. Colton, Camille, Pam & Jim, with a loss so great, there are simply no words to ease your pain. All I KNOW is, you had one SPECIAL Mom and Daughter in your lives. Kara, you are FOREVER in my heart. I am so thankful for the lunch I got to spend with you about a month ago. I LOVE you MORE, the MOST, to infinity and beyond!!!
