Mary N. Clark
YAKIMA - Early on Thanksgiving morning, we lost Mary N. Clark.
Born August 31, 1920, and a lifelong Yakima resident, she was never more alive than when she was: with cherished friends and neighbors--playing bridge�doing a crossword puzzle� throwing away money at the casino--reading a book�working at Yakima Federal�knitting a sweater or afghan for someone�cheering on her grandsons�spoiling her great-grandchildren�sunning in Maui�emailing�entertaining�rooting for the Seahawks--married to Howard, the man she loved and enjoyed for over 65 years.
Always up for anything, she was never too old to try something new. She possessed a delightfully wry sense of humor, and was never above laughing at herself.
Mary taught by example - always there with homemade soup or a meal when needed.
She was an optimist, with a positive attitude toward life...and death.
She is survived by daughter Judy (George) Fraker, son Dale (Rebecca) Clark, grandsons, Todd (Tanya), Brad, Jim and Paul Fraker, great-grandchildren Leanne, Kurt and Bret, uncle, cousins, nieces and nephews.
There will be no formal services, but an open house will be held at the Chalet Village Clubhouse, Saturday, Dec. 1st, from 2 to 4 pm. She was extremely grateful for Memorial Foundation Hospice and would appreciate donations made to them, or to a charity of your choice.
Mom, we miss you.
