Margaret T. Clark
<p> </p>
<p>Pacific Grove – Margaret T. Clark, 97, passed away at home peacefully and in comfort, surrounded by her loving family.<br />Margaret Tannehill Clark was born in Norfolk, NE, and attended nursing school at Clarkson Hospital (Clarkson College) in Omaha where she earned her R.N. degree. Soon after Margaret met George Clark, who was to be the love of her lifetime and they were married in 1938. They had two children and lived in several places on the East Coast including Boston, MA and moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida in 1960. When her son entered college, Margaret returned to nursing working in the Intensive Care Unit at Mound Park Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida and continued in the nursing profession for 15+ years. After her husband retired, the couple moved to Sun City Center and enjoyed the relaxed lifestyle there. They loved to travel and visited Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and the Orient as well as many places in the US visiting their children and other family and friends. In 2003 Margaret moved to Pacific Grove, CA on the Monterey Peninsula to be with her daughter Susan. Here she enjoyed lunches at the Carmel Foundation and continued being an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.<br /> What will her family remember about her? We’ll remember her wonderful sense of humor, that she loved roses, and pansies, and poetry. We’ll remember her strength, her fierce independence, but most of all, the great love she had for her family. Mother, you will be forever in the hearts of all who loved you so deeply.<br />She is survived by her daughter, Susan Clark and her husband, Allan Freidson of Pacific Grove, CA, her son David Clark of Tampa, FL, her grandson, Tyler Clark of Tampa, FL, her nephews Denny Price (Margie) of Norfolk, NE, Jerry Price (Trudy) of Clearwater FL, Charles Clark (Mary) of New Zealand, her nieces Gillian Clark (Graeme) of Novato, CA and Elizabeth Davis (Richard) of New Zealand.<br />She was preceded in death by her husband George W. Clark (1997), her parents, George and Stella Tannehill, her sister Helen Price, and her brother George Tannehill. <br />A service will take place in Florida on June 9 at 10:45am at Bay Pines National Cemetery in St. Petersburg, FL. Interment will follow and Margaret will be placed to rest next to her beloved husband of 59 years. Memorials in memory of Margaret can be sent to the Carmel Foundation in Carmel, CA or the charity of the donor’s choice. Online condolences www.thepaulmortuary.com.</p>
