WILLA BETH HOLLOWAY CLARK
Mulhearn Funeral Home

Sterlington Road, Monroe, LA

Funeral services for Mrs. Willa Beth Holloway Clark, 99, of Monroe, will be 
held at 10:00 AM Tuesday, May 12, 2009, in the chapel of Mulhearn Funeral 
Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe with Mr. David Burkett officiating. Interment 
will be at Mer Rouge Cemetery.

Beth passed away on Friday afternoon, May 8, 2009, after 99 years of a giving, 
loving, and creative life. A fifth generation of two pioneer families of East 
Texas, she was born on April 11, 1910 of Walter Carroll Holloway and Sarah 
Elizabeth Power Holloway. In 1875 her great grandfather, the Rev. James P. 
Holloway founded the First Christian Church in Longview, TX. Beth was a 
gardener and loved flowers and flower arranging. She was very active in garden 
club work and was a former accredited flower show judge. Beth wore many hats 
during her long and productive life. Once a Red Cross Gray Lady, she was a 
loving and compassionate home nurse until the age of 87. A member at one time 
of the State Poetry Society, Beth had several poems published and her later 
years were filled with many creative hobbies. In her early 90's she began to 
paint with her daughter, and many friends and family were given beautiful 
watercolors of flowers and landscapes as treasured gifts. Beth's careful 
attention to detail and her wish to "make it easy" on her family did exactly 
that. Her last note to family was: "Don't grieve for me. Death is not an end 
but a beginning. I love you. -Mother"

Beth was preceded in death by her parents, four sisters, a brother, husband, 
Leslie Hugh Clark; son, Leslie Carroll Clark; and grandson, Samuel Clark 
Ingram.

Survivors include her son, Hugh Holloway Clark and wife Minta of Devers, TX; 
daughter, Brenda Clark Ingram McDaniel and husband Jim of Monroe, LA; 
grandsons, Leslie B. Ingram and wife Sarah of Methwold, England, Hugh H. 
Clark, Jr. and wife Mihyo of Alaska, Christopher L. Clark of Dayton, TX, 
Patrick C. Clark of Georgia, and Sean Michael Clark of Farmerville, LA; 
granddaughter, Donna I. Howie and husband Steve of Lexington, SC; and many 
great grandsons, great granddaughters, nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be Monday from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home, 
Sterlington Road, Monroe.
