Mary Catherine Clark, 89
DOVER - Mary Catherine Clark of Dover died Thursday, Nov. 2, 2006, in her home. She was 89.
Mrs. Clark was born June 17, 1917, in Brownsville, Pa., daughter of the late Leo F. Hughes and Vera (Nicholsen) Hughes.
She retired in 1970, after 30 years of employment with St. Francis Hospital and Delaware Division, both of Wilmington, as a registered nurse.
She enjoyed being a Girl Scout leader and water skiing.
Mrs. Clark was an avid bridge player and enjoyed singing and playing the organ. Most of all, she enjoyed being with her grandchildren and participating in the things they loved to do. She loved to be with family and friends for gatherings and holidays.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by four brothers, all of Brownsville; and two sisters, both of Brownsville.
She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Ralph W. "Bill" Clark; two daughters and a son-in-law, M. Kathleen Gordon and Donald Overton of Media, Pa. and Patricia Glanding-Clark of Pike Creek; a sister, Margaret Camino of Houston, Texas; two grandchildren, Jeffrey Gordon and his wife, Elizabeth, of Lewes, and Kelly Glanding Mansfield and her husband, Brent, of Houston, Texas; and a great-grandson, Travis Bennett.
Friends may call from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday in Torbert Funeral Chapel, 61 S. Bradford St., Dover.
Mass of Christian burial will be noon Monday in Holy Cross Catholic Church, 631 S. State St., Dover.
Burial will be 11 a.m. Wednesday in the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 2465 Chesapeake City Road, Bear.
Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
