Martha A. Clark
Martha Ann Clark, 91, of Lake Bruce, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, April 20, at Pulaski Healthcare Center under hospice care.
She was born to the late Kenneth and Marie (Sennett) McEwan on May 12, 1932, in Earl Park.
Martha Ann graduated from Medaryville High School in 1950 and attended Purdue University.
Martha Ann married Omer Ray Clark at the Medaryville Christian Church on August 5, 1951.
Martha Ann lived most of her life in Pulaski County on the farm and then at the lake. She worked for the county extension office in the nutrition/commodities programs. She also worked as a substitute teacher and spent many years as a teacher’s assistant at West Central High School retiring in 1994. She volunteered as a 4-H leader, adult sponsor for SAAD, served on the Governor Council for Drug Prevention and was an active member of Pulaski Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. She loved her work with the auxiliary and served her last day at the hospital on April 1.
Martha Ann was so blessed to live in her home at Lake Bruce and go to her job at the hospital right up to her admittance into the hospital on April 6.
Her service to the community was driven by her love for the Lord. Martha Ann attended Medaryville Christian Church for many years and served as high school Sunday School teacher, VBS director and was involved in many youth activities and women’s ministry.
After they moved to the lake she attended Kewanna Church of Christ where she was active in women’s bible study and women’s ministry and loved her church families very much.

She is now home with two of them and is survived by her children: Larry Clark of Noblesville, Linda Clark of Sturgis, Michigan, Terry Clark [Debbie] of Lebanon and Debby Litke of Indianapolis; grandchildren: Matthew Clark [Jainie], Melinda Hite [Jake], Aaron Clark [Jennifer], Amanda Crussel [Mike], Allison Blunk [Jason], Levi Clark [Brittney], Erica Reinfeld [DJ], Brooke Towns, Evan Litke [Brenda]; and great-grandchildren: Ethan, Noah, Cooper, Paxton, Theo, Molly, Caleb, Wyatt, Elise, Micah, Cara, Titus, Liam, Mekayla, Gavin, Logan, Emilee, Jackson and Landon.
