Golden Funeral Home - June 2015
ALICE MCCOLLOUGH CLARK

Alice McCollough Clark went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, June 16,
2015, surrounded by her family and friends at St. Francis Hospital in Monroe,
Louisiana. A Celebration of Her Life funeral service will be held on Friday, June
19, at 10:00 am at Golden Funeral Home in Bastrop, LA with her Grandson, Rev. Jason
Murphy, Pastor of First Assembly (Collierville, Tennessee) officiating. Assisting
him will be Rev. John Skinner, Pastor of Rayville First Assembly. Interment will
follow at Christ Church Cemetery. Visitation will be Thursday, June 18, from 6-8 at
Golden's.

Alice was one of God's mighty prayer warriors, loved by all who knew her. No matter
what the problem was, or how big or how small, as soon as she learned of it she
would say, "I'll just pray about it." And she did just that. She knew the power of
prayer and we felt it in our lives as time after time those prayers were answered.
She had a servant's heart. Her thoughts and concerns were always for someone else,
never herself. She was always taking care of someone else's needs, seeking some way
she could help. But she never wanted to call attention to herself, choosing always
to stay in the background. She had a heart for others and saw people for who they
were on the inside. One of the many talents God blessed her with was an amazing
cooking ability, and her family and friends delighted in all the times spent
gathered around her table. She was the heart of her family, drawing us all to her
with her selfless, loving ways. She loved each one of us unconditionally. All of her
family loved going to 'NanaBaby's', as she was affectionately called. She was our
confidante, always ready to listen to us and offer encouragement. There was nothing
we thought she could not do. She was the heart and glue of our family, always humble
and appreciative.

A faithful church member for many years until her health declined, she was a member
of Rayville First Assembly where her grandson once pastored, a church she loved
dearly and often spoke of how much she loved 'all the people' there, and who in
return, showed their love and concern for her. She understood that life is really
about the people we touch and the relationships we form and she touched lives even
from her home, as many of her health care workers would tell us, and she forged
friendships that will last forever simply because of who she was and what she
represented.

Her family was her life. She and our Daddy left us a legacy of love and devotion and
commitment that will live forever in our hearts and minds.

Alice McCollough Clark was born August 23, 1926 in Bogalusa, La and was preceded in
death by her beloved husband and grandson, Marion Clark and Colby Whetstone, parents
JL and Nora McCollough, brothers and sisters-in-law, Quinn and Charlene McCollough,
and C.L. Jr. and Mary Clark.

The void in the lives of the loved ones she left behind will be great, but left to
cherish, honor, and celebrate her memory are her daughters and 'sons', Judi and Dell
Murphy, Lynn and Stan Schoen; granddaughters and grandsons, Donna and Larkin
Whetstone, Patrick and Allison Harrell, Shon Murphy, Jason and Kelly Murphy, Derek
Schoen, Dara and Randy Rhew; Great Grandchildren, Ryan Whetstone, Micah Whetstone,
Caden and Ashley Whetstone, Brayden, Nolan and Adam Rhew, Kelsey, Josiah, Kylah and
Moriah Murphy and great great grandchildren, MaKenna, Baylen, and Camden Whetstone;
a special nephew, David Clark.

Pallbearers will be grandsons, grandsons-in-law and great grandsons. Honorary
pallbearers are David Clark, Edgar Hodges and Henry Harris.

The family wants to give a special thanks for the wonderful care given to her by
Good Shepherd and especially Nina Pates and Vallie Battle who were with her for 8
years and have become part of our family.

.... We'll visit again in Heaven, NanaBaby, Granddaddy and Colby !OBO! We know there
is a celebration going on there now!
