Geneva (Tabb) Clark

Geneva (Tabb) Clark, our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend went home to be with the Lord on October 26, 2016, at Marshall Nursing and Rehabilitation in Marshall, Michigan at the age of 93.

Geneva was born October 16, 1923 in Columbus, Mississippi to the late Lucy and Willie Warren. Her husband Odie Clark preceded her in death April 1, 2016, and children Mary Jean Johnson, Virginia L. Robinson, and Gerald “Gerry” Tabb, brother Sammy Warren, and sisters Gertrude Lesley, Maude Rudolph.

She leaves to cherish her memory sons Willie George (Gwen) Tabb of Albion, Carl (Tanze) Tabb of Ann Arbor, and daughter Charlean Tabb of Atlanta, step children Odelle (Tyrone) Wallace of Lansing, Joe (Jan) Clark of Jackson, Billy (Ruth) Clark of Battle Creek and sister Rebecca Short of Albion. A host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other relatives mourn her loss.

Geneva worked as a seamstress and presser at the Two Hour Cleaners, One Hour Cleaners and Bradford Cleaner; aide at several Jackson Nursing Homes and ultimately retiring as a kitchen aide for the Albion Public Schools.

Geneva was a lifelong and faithful member of Bethel Baptist Church. She was an integral part of the church and served on numerous boards and activities over the years. She remained active until her illness prevented her from attending church.

She took great joy in spoiling her grandchildren by making them dolls, clothing and beautiful quilts, and often taking them on camping trips in the “Odie RV Bus” and Ford RV Camper.

She will be missed dearly but her presence will always be felt.
