Eunice Frances Clark, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away on April 7, 2025, at the age of 98 in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. She was born on August 11, 1926, in California, to Roy Arville Bailey and Verna May (Smith) Bailey.
Eunice graduated from Lexington High School in 1945 and spent much of her life in California before relocating to Oklahoma in 1988. She married James C. Clark on November 1, 1946, and together they shared a lifetime of love until his passing in 1996. Eunice was known for her deep love of gospel and country music, and she often found joy in her quiet moments, especially with a cup of coffee, watching hummingbirds from her window. Her favorite colors were blue and green, and she always loved a good joke to share with those around her.
Eunice's kindness and generosity were central to who she was. A devoted giver, she loved cooking and baking for others, and she will be remembered for her loving spirit, unwavering kindness, and the many friends she made throughout her life. A loving mother to three daughters, Eunice balanced a busy life of full-time work, family, and many hobbies, including crocheting, sewing, and putting together puzzles that she would later frame. She also enjoyed bowling in several leagues and loved taking walks around the neighborhood.
Eunice was an active member of Hillcrest Missionary Baptist Church in Wynnewood, where her faith and love for others shone brightly. She also supported the March of Dimes and will be remembered as someone who always put others first.
Eunice is survived by her daughters, Delores A. Feldbusch of Burnet, Texas, and Pamela J. Buckland and her husband Kenny of Dallas, Georgia; her sister-in-law, Virginia Bailey; seven grandchildren: Kerri Jones and her husband David, Shannon Steffey, Michael Ray Jr. and his wife Laurie, LaJeana Andrews and her husband Angelo, Jimmy Ray and his wife Raechelle, Nathan Ray and his wife Danea, and Bryan Feldbusch and his wife Tiffany; 20 great-grandchildren; 13 great-great-grandchildren, with one on the way; and several nieces, nephews, extended family, and many dear friends.
She is preceded in death by her husband, James C. Clark; her parents, Roy and Verna Bailey; her daughter, Verna Linton and her husband David; her son-in-law, Terry Feldbusch; her siblings, Arville Bailey and his wife Evelyn, Bruce Bailey, and Doris Martin and her husband Marvin; and a granddaughter’s spouse, Danny Steffey.
Eunice will be remembered for the love she shared, the kindness she spread, and the incredible legacy she leaves behind. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
