Theresa Ann Clark
July 10, 1937 — February 20, 2018
Theresa Ann Clark, “Aunt Betty” to her southern relatives, passed away peacefully on February 20th after a short illness.
Born near Patterson, Louisiana in 1937, as the 9th of 10 children born to Tete and Eva Lombas, Theresa spent her formative years living on or near Bayou Teche. In the early 60’s, she accompanied husband Joseph Clark, Jr. to upstate New York and soon became an active member of the community in her adopted hometown of Oswego. In recent years, Theresa made her home in Spanish Fork, Utah, Syracuse, New York, and Monmouth, Oregon. Theresa is predeceased by her parents, brothers Albert, Sidney, Houston, and Junior, sisters Mary Hooks, Leona Higgins, Lillian Nichols, Virginia Myers, husbands Joseph Clark Jr., George Goth, Alan Barras, son Joseph Clark III, and grandson Bryan Bogart. She is survived by her sister Cecile Grow of Morgan City, Louisiana, daughter Debra Clark-Barber of Syracuse, New York, son Vernon (Ann) Clark of Sterling, New York son Daniel (Kim) Clark of Monmouth, Oregon, six Grandchildren, four Great-grandchildren, and countless nieces and nephews.
Theresa was fiercely proud of her “Cajun” heritage, and her life and experiences will live on as reflected in her stunning pen-and-ink drawings of bayou scenes. She loved cooking, gardening, reading, sewing, and a little Kahlua in her coffee at Christmastime. Her joy and her bright smile will truly be missed.
