Milton "Milt" Clark Jr.

On Saturday, October 4, 2025, Milton "Milt" Clark Jr., a longtime resident of Elmer, NJ, went home to be with the Lord. He passed just shy of his 89th birthday. Milt served in the Navy from 1954 to 1958, where he trained as a corpsman. He carried that training into a long career as Chief Lab Technician at Elmer Hospital. After the Salem Generating Station came online, he embraced a new challenge and worked as a Radiation Protection Technician, making many good friends along the way. Even after retiring in 2001, Milt continued to serve his community, working at the Upper Pittsgrove Recycling Center and as a courier for the First National Bank of Elmer. Milt was a simple man with many facets. He had a remarkable ability to put people at ease with his great sense of humor and kind words. A devout Christian, Milt loved his God and attended the Calvary Chapel of Gloucester County, where his son is the pastor. He enjoyed the Men's Group gatherings and had an encyclopedic knowledge of music, favoring songs from his youth and hymns, which he sang in his beautiful tenor voice. Milt also had a green thumb, growing a lush vegetable garden every year for most of his adult life. However, his greatest joy was found in being with family, especially fulfilling his role as "Pop" to his nine grandchildren. Born in Del Rio, TN, Milt was the son of Milton Saville and Stella Ford Clark, both deceased. He is survived by his devoted children: Lisa Clark (Jim McKenna), Bob Clark, Gary Clark (Valerie), and Becky Ireland (Mike); his siblings: Sandra Clark Eppinger (Carl McGaha), Gene Clark (Hilda, deceased), Roberta Collins Carman (Howard "Doc" Carman, deceased), and John Collins. Milt also leaves behind nine adored grandchildren: Rob Clark (Sarah), Ryan Clark, Mike Ireland (Megan), Katie and Noah Ireland, Josiah Clark (Erin), Micah, Hannah, and Alethea Clark; and three beautiful great-grandchildren: Maxwell, Eleanor, and Amelia. He also leaves many treasured nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his beloved wife, Mabel Helen Collins Clark, and two sisters: Dorothy Clark Vosila and Barbara Clark Burgess. A time to gather and celebrate Milt's life will be held this Saturday, October 11th, 2025 at the Calvary Chapel of Gloucester County, 5360 NJ-42N, Turnersville, NJ 08012. Receiving will begin at 10:00 am for family and friends. A service will follow at 12:00 pm, with light refreshments served.
