Gretchen D. Clark

Gretchen spent her formative years playing piano, vibraharp, and singing. She was a member of the The Wilkinsburg Marimba Choir and played for various functions in the Pittsburgh area. After attending college she married her husband Charles (Tom) Clark from Paoli, PA.

Gretchen will be remembered by many for her dedication to her family, friends or anyone in need. Her passions included volunteering, music, singing, gardening and nature. Throughout her life she was active in various churches and always there to lend a hand. Her two greatest joys in life were raising her children and taking long walks with her husband. When Gretchen and Tom retired to Willow Valley their daily walks would usually be over fifteen miles a day.

Gretchen is preceded by her parents and brother. Gretchen leaves on this earth her husband of 58 years, six children, their spouses, seven grandchildren, her sister, nieces and nephews and numerous friends. She will be loved and missed by all.
