Lois Oleta Clark's Obituary
Lois Oleta Clark (Diddy), an amazing 101 years young, entered Heaven on January 21, 2020, in Dallas, Texas. She was born on April 19, 1918 in Hawkins, Texas to Lora Fannie Turner and Ocie Butler Turner. She was married on January 7, 1937 to Truman Cleo Clark (Jack). They were married until his death in 1998.
Diddy’s career choice was that of wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She was an excellent seamstress, cook, gardener, shopper, devout Christian and all-around role model.
Her love for our Lord Jesus Christ was her foundation. A long time member of Prairie Creek Baptist Church, she taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. She was a member in the Ladies Fellowship, and thrived on the many friends she made over the years.
She was not only active in church, she loved to go fishing with her husband, Jack, and dear friends, Billie and Kenneth McCurley. This foursome spent many nights playing cards or dominos. She and Jack also travelled throughout the Southwest with Nora Lee and J.L. Clark in their RV. They had some wonderful adventures. Her great sense of humor and infectious laugh made her a joy to be around, and she was awarded with an abundance of friends.
Diddy is preceded in death by her parents, Lora and Ocie Turner, sisters, Kitty Charlene Smith, Syble Bell Crawford and Gladys Merle Manning, husband Truman Cleo Clark (Jack), son, Charles Cleo Clark, and grandson, Ted Wayne Dolby Jr.
