Lori Rita Clark

Lori Rita Clark, 69, of Kittery, Maine, passed away on March 5, 2026, at Portsmouth Regional after a long and courageous battle with rheumatoid arthritis and dementia. Born on December 20, 1956, Lori was born in Portsmouth and was a graduate of Portsmouth High School and later made her home in Kittery, ME.

In June of 1975, she married the love of her life, Bradley G. Clark. Together they shared over 50 years of marriage building a life rooted in family, commitment, and quiet devotion.

Lori devoted much of her life to her family as a homemaker. She found joy in life's simple pleasures crafting, gardening, shopping, and working on puzzles. More than anything, she enjoyed playing with her beloved grandson. She also enjoyed the companionship of cats and to watch birds that she fed in her front yard.

Lori was a strong-willed woman whose determination was shaped in part by the many years she lived with chronic pain. Beneath that strength was a deeply caring heart and an unwavering love for her family. Those who knew her understood that her resilience and devotion defined her far more than the illnesses she carried.

She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Bradley G. Clark; her son, Matthew G. Clark; and her beloved grandson, Spencer G. Clark. She is also survived by her brothers, Alvin Walker and his wife Ellen, Thomas Walker, Jeffrey Walker, David Walker and his wife Marybeth and her sister Teresa Hardtke and her husband Mike, her Godson John Walker, along with many nieces and nephews and grand nieces and grand nephews.

She is predeceased by her parents Walter A. and Marieta M. Walker and her sisters, Patricia West and Sharon Kenyon.

Graveside services will be announced at a later date. Lori will be laid to rest at Calvary Cemetery.

Her family finds comfort in knowing that she is now at peace, free from pain, and forever held in their hearts.
