Obituary of Anna Mary Elizabeth Clark

Passed away peacefully at home with family at her side on December 10, after a remarkable 101 years. Loving wife of the late Charles J. Clark. Cherished mother of son Charles (Sharon Willis), daughter Elizabeth (Richard Forrest), late son Robert (Patti Morand), son John (Sheila Gordon) and daughter Mary (David Dolsen). Loving grandma of thirteen grandchildren, GG of fourteen greatgrandchildren, and sister-in-law of Ann Clark (the late James). Loving aunt and great aunt to many, many nieces, nephews, their children and grandchildren. Predeceased by her parents Robert and Edna Forsyth (Castor), sister June and brother-in-law Dr. John Button, father and mother-in-law S. Murray and Eva Clark (Bondy), sisters and brothers-in-law Katherine (the late Allan Ford), Robert (the late Fern Laramie), Elinor (the late James Veitch), and William (the late Marion McLean). Anna’s greatest joy was her family — always putting the interests of family and friends before her own, to her very last days. Growing up in Claremont, Ontario she met Charles (Chuck) in Toronto where they worked at the Public Trustees’ Office. After their marriage they lived a full and happy life in Windsor. Anna worked at the British Consulate in Detroit during the second world war before retiring to start the family. She was President of the Windsor Symphony Women’s Committee and a local IODE chapter; and was an active member in Questers. Charles and Anna were long-time supporters of several Windsor organizations, including the University of Windsor, Assumption College, the Windsor Symphony Society and the Art Gallery of Windsor. Anna’s family is thankful for the loving care of Slavka Ivcec and Ann Marie Gray, who made it possible for Anna to live her final years at home, her long standing family doctor David Scarfone, and most recently, the Windsor-Essex LHIN, and Hospice of Windsor-Essex nurses and the iAID Home Care personal support workers. A private funeral service will be held with Anna’s family and a celebration of life will take place next summer.  In lieu of flowers, donations in Anna’s memory may be made to the charities of your choice.
