Lettie W. Clark was born on November 14, 1940, to H. H. Cox, Jr. and Hazel Luttrell Cox. She spent her early years in Kaufman County, TX, then the family moved to Mesquite, TX. Lettie married William Earnest Bryant and moved to Kansas City where their son Randy was born, then came back to live in Texas. Lettie and Earnest divorced, and she married Jack Clark.

After retirement from TI, Lettie then worked for the Wills Point Chamber of Commerce. After retiring from the Chamber, she became involved with Life Line.

Lettie enjoyed playing piano at her church, Good Hope Baptist Church, where she was also very active in the women's ministry.
