Clark, her devoted husband of 48 years, kept a lovely home 1495 Carpenter Road Pine City, NY.

She was a member of the Pine City Baptist Church, the Mary Martha Guild and past member of the Pine City Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. ?Milly? was a long time employee of the Remington Rand, was also employed by Westinghouse and was involved in various other services in the community. Her retirement years were golden. Summers on the backyard patio, surrounded by her cherished Jackson Perkins roses. The chill of winter sent her packing to West Palm Beach, FL where friends and family spent every Wednesday night going out to dinner, followed by a game of contract rummy and desert!
