Betty Y. Clark

Betty “Mimi” Youree Clark was born on February 14, 1938 to Walter and Ethel Youree in Hickman, Kentucky. She later moved to Memphis, Tennessee, which she always considered home and it was there that she met her husband, Bill Clark. In 1979, Betty and Bill relocated to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she lived until her passing on September 29, 2024, at the age of 86. Those who knew Betty knew of her deep love for her family and friends, her passion for LSU baseball, her enjoyment of the casino, and her fondness of relaxing with a highball of Evan Williams. She will be fondly remembered for her unique “Betty-isms”. Above all, she was a loving mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Betty was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Ethel Youree of Memphis, TN; her sister, Sue Nixon of Memphis, TN; her husband, Bill Clark of Baton Rouge, LA; and her daughters, Vicky Lawler and Patty Danna, both of Baton Rouge, LA. She is survived by her daughter, Terri Clark Crick and her husband Tim of Baton Rouge, LA; her stepson, Bill Clark Jr. and his wife Judy of Evansville, IN; her grandsons, Jason Lawler and his wife Sonya of Mobile, AL, Taylor Clark of Baton Rouge, LA, and Nicholas Danna of New Orleans, LA; her granddaughter, Madison Danna and her fiancé Bryce Walls of Baton Rouge, LA; her great-granddaughters, Emily and Caroline Lawler; her great-grandson, Hunter Clark, and his mother Monica Clark; and her nephews, Geoff Nixon and his wife Laura of Memphis, TN, and Greg Nixon and his wife Stacey of Orlando, FL. Funeral services will take place on October 26, 2024, at St. George Church (7808 St. George drive, Baton Rouge, LA, 70809). Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., followed by a Mass and service officiated by Father Yi. Betty’s wish for cremation and burial alongside her husband will be honored.
