After graduating with the Lowell High School Class of 1943, she attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth Texas for a year. She returned to her parents’ home in Cascade and enjoyed working at “Herp’s” in downtown Grand Rapids. After marrying, she worked at raising her daughters while managing the family business, Clark Plumbing and Heating of Lowell. After retiring, she joined a country clogging group, touring West Michigan fairs and craft shows, thus fulfilling a lifetime love of music and dance. No service is scheduled at this time.
