WHO CAN FIND A VIRTUOUS WOMAN – Proverbs 31
Carolyn Lavonia Clark was born on January 26, 1941 to the late Elwood and Hatti Hall in Middleburg Virginia. She was the fourth of seven children.
Carolyn (Baby), Momma, Grama-Carolyn LOVED life to the fullest. She was very adventurous and pushed herself to try different things. She tried parasailing, bungee jumping and loved the rush of the rollercoasters.
She loved to travel and was blessed to see a great deal of this country and also traveled abroad. Her greatest joy was her family! There was NOTHING she would not do for her husband, her children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews.
Her heart was vast.
Her home was a warm and safe haven for many. Anyone who smelled her famous homemade rolls coming out of her oven came running. She was gifted and talented at the sewing machine as well. She made the curtains in her beautiful home, hemmed pants for her grandsons, and even made a wedding dress for her oldest niece to get married.
Carolyn was educated in the Loudoun County School System. She attended Douglas High School in Leesburg, VA, and graduated in 1959. It was there that she met the love of her life, her ‘CC Rider’ Calvin Lee Clark. They were married on July 18, 1959 and their love story is nothing short of a fairytale. They were high school sweethearts and went to both Junior and Senior proms together.
She leaves to cherish her soulmate and the love of her life, husband of 61 years, Calvin L. Clark, three sons (Her GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS), Mark J. Clark (Brenda), Randy L. Clark (Phyllis), and Danny A. Clark (Stacey) all of Charlotte, NC. The JOYS of her life, six beautiful grandchildren: Antoine P. Clark (Tracy) of Dallas, TX, Bryan J. Clark of Kansas City, KS, Ronde’ L. Miller (Jackie), Phillip X. Clark, Brandi S. Clark, and Tyler S. Clark all of Charlotte, NC. Two precious great-grandchildren that she adored, Maleya and Mila Miller of Charlotte, NC. Three brothers, Harold Hall (Helen) of Manassas, VA, Elwood “Ted” Hall (Martha) of Leesburg, VA, Larry Hall (Ollie) of Middleburg, VA, two sisters (her best friends), Mary Randolph (Herbert) of Leesburg, VA, and Patricia Haley of Marshall, VA, one brother-in-law, Rollins Clark (Ann) of Severna Park, MD, one sister-in-law, Pauline Clark of Dallas, TX and a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews (all of whom saw her as ‘more than just an Aunt’), and a multitude of extended family and friends.
She would send out over 150 Christmas cards every year to family, friends, neighbors and EVERYONE she ever worked with.

Mr Calvin the love Ms Carolyn had for you is something that can be never taken away. Hold onto that and know that she is always with you. Mark, Randy and Danny!
“A bond between a Mother and her children is unparalleled”. My deepest condolences to the family during this time. Your Mother’s kindness was contagious and her memory will live on forever.
Taffie Bentley says
Calvin, Mark, Randy and Danny, I can’t tell you how my heart breaks for all of you. God makes the decision when he needs a new angel so Carolyn was called. Just know she is safe with him. You all were why she lived.
I talked to her a short time ago and she was so happy with the beach house you got. She talked about going there.
I can’t help but remember when we were kids and I would visit Virginia and all the silly things we did and when she would come here to Ct. or to New York how we laughed and had such a good time. I will miss her so very much. Taffie Ann Bentley and family

Hi Mr Clark-
This is Penni (Tierney) McNamara your old neighbor from Wildman street. My Mom just told me about Mrs. Clark and I wanted to reach out and tell you how sorry I am. She was so full of life and always had a smile on her face! I have the greatest memories of her next door growing up. Praying for you and thinking of you and your sons.
