Patricia Clark

Patricia Ann Clark, 82, passed away on April 18, 2024, with her family by her side.
Patricia was born on February 11, 1942, in Willimantic, Connecticut, the daughter of Samuel and Shirley (Taylor) Bonafine.

Patricia was a paragon of maternal warmth and selflessness, embodying gentleness, and kindness. She tirelessly prioritized her family’s happiness, even at the expense of her own desires. Her unwavering dedication remains a beacon of love and sacrifice.

Patricia enjoyed her career as a CNA for many decades. She began her career at St. Joseph’s Manor in Portland, Maine, where she spent many happy years providing loving care to her patients. She also worked at Evergreen Manor later in her career.

Patricia loved to watch the birds at her feeders in the yard. Some of her favorite meals contained scallops, and most of all, she loved chocolate ice cream! She enjoyed playing bingo, doing arts and crafts, and going to the library to borrow books to read.

Patricia was predeceased by her parents, Samuel and Shirley (Taylor) Bonafine, her paternal father, Elmer M. Perry, and her sisters, Joan Edgecomb and Linda Cunningham.

Patricia is survived by her husband, Dwight Clark of Auburn; children, Susan Bennison of Scarborough, James and Karen Clark of Buxton, Allison Belanger of Westbrook, Lisa and Mark Knight of Lyman, Darrell and Kellie Clark of Kennebunk, and Kenneth Clark of Kennebunk. She is also survived by her sister, Pamela Skoog of Port St. Lucie, Florida; five grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.

A celebration of Patricia’s life will be held on April 27, 2024, at 1:00PM at 6 Perkins Lane, Kennebunk, Maine. A potluck luncheon will follow.
