HULDA REGEHR CLARK

CLARK, HULDA REGEHR Dr. Hulda Regehr Clark passed away Thursday, September 3, 2009, at age 80, in Chula Vista, CA. She was born October 18, 1928, in Rosthern, Saskatchewan, the daughter of Jacob and Maria Regehr, and the sister of Jacob, Henry, Willie, Irma, Edna and Leo. She earned a BS and MS from U Saskatchewan and Ph.D. from U Minnesota in 1958. Her scientific career began in 1965 at Indiana U, Bloomington. Her impulse toward practical application led her to establish a nutritional consulting practice in the 1960's and, later, an independent research program on human disease which became the focus of her life. She published seven books and established a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. Her work attracted critics, but despite threats and intimidation, her conviction and forgiving outlook let her pursue her clinical practice and research until she was 79. She is survived by her three sons, Geoffrey Allen Clark, married to Charlotte Scullin Clark, Douglas Burt Walcerz, married to Elba Ivette Rohena, and Robert John Clark, married to Jane Templeton Clark, her three siblings, Edna Bernstein, Irma Gawboy, and Leo Regehr, and seven grandchildren. Services Saturday, September 26th, in Chula Vista, CA. She is grateful to all who supported her work, and her dream is that her work will be carried on by others. Memorial donations can be made to Amnesty International, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, and the American Civil Liberties Union.
