Mary was such a big part of not only the East Williams Optimist Club but also of the Southwestern Ontario Optimists. Her fudge was a favourite item in the House of Optimism auction at convention and she always had a quilt ready to use as a fundraiser. Thank you for letting your Optimism shine forth Mary, we will miss you!

Mary served on the Board of Directors at the Parkhill Carnegie Gallery for several years and was a valued member. She often worked on quilting in our classroom with the Thursday afternoon Drop-In group. We always appreciated her wisdom and her sense of humour.
On behalf of the Board, I send condolences to all her family. She was a grand lady. Remember her with much love.

To Mary's Family,
I think you would have a hard time finding a kinder, nicer, lady than Mary. She would always lend a helping hand wherever it was needed, and a more devoted, proud Optimist member would be hard to find as well.
Treasure your memories of her and hold them close to your hearts where she will always remain and remember that LOVE never dies.
RIP Mary, you deserve it.
Sincerely,
Edward and Linda Fox

In Marys younger years she worked on tobacco farms along with her sisters She completed school and worked in the office at International Harvester in London. She had a love for antiques and bought the old hotel in Carlisle with her cousin Hazel. They kept it original - with the painted numbers on the room doors upstairs, the wash stands and basins, the brass and wooden beds, the spinning wheel. The wood cook stove and oil lamps. Mary hosted picnics for ladies groups such as women's institute giving them a tour of the hotel along with some historic stories. She refinished furniture in the shed. Mary hosted yearly extended family picnics for years pre covid. She will always be remembered for her fudge and rice crispy squares, and kindness towards all of us.
Mary lived in Mount Brydges. She was a scout leader. Donald came to Brydges as Royal Bank manager. He became a scout leader as well, and so their life together began. After they were married he got transferred to New Market, Aurora, and Tillsonburg
They built a house in East Williams to come home to on weekends and holidays, and for after retiring, to be closer to family and friends. After Don resigned from the bank they lived full time at their home in East Williams. Mary worked in an office in Strathroy, then at the Home Hardware in Ailsa Craig. Mary grew a large garden sharing her produce. She was very involved in the Optimist and helped run monthly bingos in London, proceeds going to Hobbies - a youth organization sponsored by the optimist. Mary helped new Optimist groups get started such as Dashwood, and keep scrapbooks for multiple clubs. For years she was secretary for her group. She enjoyed many vacations to Optimist Conventions in Canada and the USA.
She also belonged to Ailsa Craig United Church and Historical society. She spend endless hours making food and helping at events and going to meetings. Mary and her sisters made quilts together as a fundraiser Her sister Gladys and Mary spent hours at various places selling tickets on her quilts. Also Mary sold plants that she grew and baked goods. I can remember she made 20 dozen chocolate covered peanut butter balls for one bake sale. Mary also attended meetings for neighbourhood watch. Mary was very involved in her community and gave years of service to multiple groups.
I will always remember Aunt Marys beautiful smile and the many days I spent at her Carlisle hotel and at her home in East Williams

Mary Clark will be remembered well by all who knew her for her commitment to community service.
The Optimist Club of East Williams will miss her active membership participation assisting at many Club events, pre-pandemic.
Her legacy lives on with so many Club projects recorded in hard-copy binders, and logged for future reference for tomorrow’s youth to enjoy.
She was always so caring with genuine interest and concern for her neighbours and friends.
Mary Clark will be deeply missed.
