*Obituary
Marijo Clark Browder was born on October 12, 1927 in El Dorado, Arkansas, to Edna and Ish Clark. She died on October 30, 2012 after an extended illness. She graduated from El Dorado High School and married John Basil Browder in June of 1946. John and Marijo moved to Ft. Worth, Texas in 1956 when he went to work for General Dynamics. They raised their two children, Peggy Browder Zilbermann and Clark Browder there. In 1977, John and Marijo started the second phase of their life when they moved overseas, first to Norway where they lived for 8 years and then to Israel, where they lived for the next eight years. It was an exciting time for the Browders as they travelled throughout Europe and partied with dignitaries, including the King of Norway and the president of the United States. After John retired, they moved back to Arkansas and built a beautiful home on a lake in Hot Springs Village. John died in 1992, and Marijo stayed until 2002, when she moved to Dallas to be near her daughter and grandchildren. Marijo was preceded in death by her sister, Rosemary Clark, her parents Edna and Ish Clark, and her husband of 46 years, John Browder. She is survived by her daughter Peggy Zilbermann and her husband Mark of Dallas, son Clark Browder and his wife Sherry of Chesapeake, VA, grandsons Adam Browder, Doug Zilbermann, Aaron Zilbermann and his wife Erica, and great granddaughters Isabella and Gigi Zilbermann. The family would like to extend thanks to her two amazing aides, Karen Hoskins and Debra Wallace. Donations can be sent to Temple Emanu-El, 8500 Hillcrest Rd., Dallas, Texas 75225 or the charity of your choice
