Wilma Faye Duvall Clark, 89, a resident of Huntsville, Ark., went to be with her Lord and Savior in the early evening of Wednesday, November 24, 2010.
She was born September 24, 1921, in Russellville, Ark., the daughter of Walter and Mary Duvall. Wilma was left a young widow by World War II when her husband Virgil Duvall was killed in action. In the late 1940s she and her niece, Lily Mae Duvall, ventured to California and settled in the small town of Greenfield where Wilma met and married Jonah Clark, on Jan 15, 1949. They raised their family in Greenfield and were pillars of both their church and their community. She became known as "Nana" to many children in the area after having a successful daycare for almost 30 years. In 1991 she was selected as "Mother of the Year" by the City of Greenfield, an honor she cherished. She and her husband relocated to Huntsville, Ark. in 2005. She was joined in this journey by her entire family (four generations). She was a member of the Huntsville Free Will Baptist Church.
Survivors include her husband, Jonah Clark of Huntsville; two sons, Leon Clark and wife Dawn of Hindsville, Stephen Clark of Huntsville; three granddaughters, Rebeccah and husband Greg Maggard of Huntsville, Sacha Warrick of Georgia and Renee Wilson of California; five great-grandchildren, Chase, Charly, Chaz, Robert and Laila; and two sisters, Leola Graves of Atkins, Ark. and Marie Burris of Russellville, Ark.
She was preceded in death by her parents, first husband, 10 brothers and sisters and a young son, Paul Wayne Clark.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 10:30 a.m. at Brashears Funeral Home of Huntsville with Brother Jim Spurlock officiating.
Interment will be in the Huntsville Cemetery under the direction of Brashears Funeral Home, www.brashearsfuneralhome.net of Huntsville, Ark. Pallbearers will be Keith Phillips, Mike Grigg, Greg Maggard, Jim Martin, Dane Duvall, Shannon Sales, David Duvall and Leon Henderson.
In lieu of flowers, it was the wish of "Nana" that donations are made to "Feed the Children Foundation" P.O. Box 36, Oklahoma City, Okla. 73101. God bless you Nana. We love you and we will miss you.
Arrangements: Brashears Funeral Home.
