IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Donald E.
Clark
September 8, 1932 – July 30, 2025
Donald (Don) Edward Clark, 92 of Windham, Ohio passed away on Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at home surrounded by his family. Don was born on September 8, 1932 to Annabelle Sites and Livingston Harold Clark. He was proud of his roots in the hills of southern Ohio. He graduated from Windham High School in the Class of 1950 and was the last living member of that class. Don married Joanne Ruth Chaffee on October 7, 1950. Prior to Joanne's passing in 2013, they had been married for 62 years. Together they shared three children. Don worked for the Ravenna Arsenal, the Ohio Department of Transportation, and following retirement, he worked for the Mallory-Dehaven-Carlson Funeral Home. He enjoyed spending his free time bowling, golfing, and mowing his lawn. He rooted for the Cincinnati ball teams from the comfort of his couch. He also spent many mornings with his "breakfast club" over coffee and conversation at McDonalds. In his younger years, Don enjoyed spending time on the tractor fitting the fields on the farm.
Don is survived by his children Anna Marie Evans, Harold (Kelly Reynolds) Clark, and Nita (Dave) Apthorpe. He is also survived by his brother Paul (Jenny) Clark. His grandchildren include Carrie (Todd) Barcikowski, Kristin Craft, Becca (Keith) Nezbeth, Sarita (Ryan) Slone, Cody (Jeni) Apthorpe, and Cali (Vince) Apthorpe. He also leaves 11 great grandchildren. In addition to his parents and wife, Don was preceded in death by his brothers Norman, Ralph, and Larry Clark, as well as his sister Margaret (Peg) Miller. Also, his son-in-law Don Evans and daughter-in-law Julie (Crane) Clark. A special thank you to Tammy, Chrystal, and the Grace Hospice family for their compassion, care, and support throughout Don's journey.
