Jessie Clark

Jessie Clark was born on March 17, 1922, and passed into Heaven on February 26, 2020, in Conroe, Texas at the age of 97. Jessie was born in Brad, Texas on the Massie Ranch.

She became a Christian at a tent revival at the Cedar Springs Methodist Church near the ranch. She graduated from Lubbock High School in 1938 at age 16. She went to Draughon’s Business School and used those skills in the workplace.

Jessie married Dave Clark in 1942 and they started a family that grew to seven children, 16 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. She has had a large influence in each of their lives through her love for the Lord Jesus Christ and by always giving encouragement to them.
