Patricia Clack Obituary

Patricia Jones Clack passed away very peacefully at the age of 96 at 3:10 p.m. on August 7, 2024. Her daughter, Patricia Elaine Swilley, was by her side when the angels came to take her away to be with the Lord Jesus Whom she so dearly loved. She was born in Abilene, TX and moved to Baton Rouge after she married her late husband, Frank L. Clack Jr. She worked for many years at the Baton Rouge General Hospital as a medical transcriptionist. She is survived by her 2 children, Patricia Swilley of Baton Rouge and Frank L. Clack III of Winnetka, CA, granddaughter, Barbara Swilley of Jacksonville, AR, grandson, James Clack of Haltom City, TX, and 2 great-grandchildren, Shawn Crowe and Brianna Clack. We would also like to thank the people at Audubon Hospice for the excellent care that they gave our mom.

I enjoyed the times she came to visit us in California, and the road trips we took to visit her. She was a loving grandmother. She helped inspire me to become more aware and proud of my family heritage, and I plan to carry that on. I love you grandma.

Thank you for all you did for me Mom. You brought me into the world and raised me to be responsible so that I could be prepared to take my place in the world. You taught me to take care of my self because you knew that you would not always be around for me, but you were always there when I needed you. Although we lived so far apart, I will always cherish the times that we had together and never forget them. I know that you are now with Jesus awaiting that day of our glorious resurrection when we will be on the new earth in New Jerusalem! I love you always!
Your Loving Son,
Frankie

I have so many fond memories of grandma. Summers as a teen and especially when I moved to Arkansas and driving down to spend Thanksgiving nearly every year.


In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

It was so special to spend time with Pat in her last days. We shared music and stories and I imagine she is enjoying music and stories in heaven. Thank you to her daughter for taking such great care of her in her final days here in earth.

I cannot express adequately how much I loved this lady who was my mother-in-law for nearly 41 years. She was so kind, so loving, and she and I shared a ton of laughs over the years! I always enjoyed being around her, which certainly wasn't often enough due to living thousands of miles apart. I am so thankful that I will see her again as we worship our Lord Jesus Christ together in heaven. Thank you, Pat, for the gifts of my sweet husband and sister-in-law. I'll love you forever.
