Gloria Ina Clark

Gloria Clark

Cannonville, Utah

Our sweet mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Gloria Ina Johnson Clark, passed away peacefully at her home in Cannonville on August 26, 2017, at the age of 90.

Mom was born April 8, 1927 to Maiben Hills and Lora Eunice Ingram Johnson in Cannonville, Utah. She married Doyle Grant Clark on December 26, 1947 in Winslow, Arizona. The marriage was later solemnized in the St. George LDS Temple on February 7. 1957.

She graduated from Tropic High School, after graduation she moved to California to work and then moved back home and started dating Dad. Mom was an excellent homemaker and cook. She worked at Bryce Canyon National Park at the General Store then went to Ruby’s Inn to work at the Post Office. She worked there for 15 years, then spent three years at the Post Office in Tropic. She then went on to work at the Panguitch Post Office, but Dad told her she had to quit because of the bad roads in the wintertime.

Mom was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had many callings, but loved to teach Relief Society and being the Cannonville Ward librarian the most. She was currently serving as the ward historian, which she enjoyed doing.

Mom was an avid Jazz fan, you didn’t call or bother her during a game unless you wanted to sit and join her, and several of her grandsons did. One of the highlights of her life was when her family surprised her on her 80th birthday with tickets to watch the Jazz.

At the time of her death she was the oldest resident of Cannonville who had been born, raised, and lived in the town of Cannonville her whole life.

She is survived by her 4 daughters and their spouses; Deene (Ron) Baugh, West Valley City: Tonya (Fred) Syrett, Bryce Canyon City: Melanie (KoWan) Ott, Cannonville; and Nancy (Klin) Chynoweth, Henrieville. She has 15 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren; sister, Darlene (Don) Williams; brother, LaGrande "Tiz" (Nancy) Johnson; sister-in-law, Betty Johnson; and brother-in-law, Kenneth Clark.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Doyle Clark; son, Gary Clark; and great-grandson, Jace Chynoweth; siblings: Marlin Johnson, William "Buzz" (Connie) Johnson, Donna (Reed) Butterfield, and Orlene (Sam) Paget.

Mom, we love you and you will be greatly missed.

The family would like to extend their love and appreciation to Dr. Mooney for his love and tender care of our mom, the staff at Garfield Memorial Hospital, and to those who came and helped her at her home, Home Health and Hospice. Thank you.
