IN LOVING MEMORY

Brenda Jo Clark, age 72, of Princeton, passed away February 24, 2026 at her home, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, faith, and deep devotion to those she cherished most.

Brenda was born June 23, 1953 to the late Jeff W. and Lena Louise Ray Stromatt. She was a woman of the Baptist faith, and her relationship with God was an important foundation in her life. Her faith guided her actions, her love for others, and the compassion she showed so freely. She found her greatest joy in the simple blessings of life - sunshine on her face, time spent outdoors, and the beauty of God’s creation. Brenda had a special love for all animals and cared for them with a gentle and tender heart. More than anything, Brenda treasured time with her family. Her favorite tradition was the annual family trip to the beach - a time filled with laughter, togetherness, and memories that will be cherished forever. She loved the sound of the waves, the warmth of the sand beneath her feet, and most of all, being surrounded by her family at the beach. Those moments brought her pure happiness.

Brenda is survived by her adored husband of 54 years, Charles "Charlie" Clark; sons, Mac (Angela) Clark of Nashville, TN and Nick (Joni) Clark of Princeton; sisters, Faye Oliver and Jeanette (Rickey) Darby; treasured granddaughter, Haley Clark; several nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm, Saturday, February 28, 2026 at Morgan's Funeral Home.

Graveside services will be held at 1:30 pm, Saturday, February 28, 2026 at Cedar Hill Cemetery with Bro. Dean Ray officiating.
