Donna Clark, loving wife, mom, grandma, sister, and friend, passed away at age 65 on Sunday, August 9, 2009. Donna passed away after a lengthy battle with colon issues. We thought she had conquered the difficulties and was getting better, yet there were more complications that she could not overcome. She resided at 3109 West 10755 South in South Jordan, Utah at the time of her death.
Donna was born May 17, 1944 in Tooele, Utah to Mayo George and Daryl Ione Turner.
Donna married William Dee Clark on September 20, 1963 in Hunter, Utah. Donna and Dee had an enviable relationship. They were life long partners, best friends and sweethearts. Donna grew up on a small farm in Hunter, Utah. They raised chickens, two cows and a pig. It was Donna's job to wash and "buff" the eggs so they could be sold.
Donna graduated from Cyprus High School in 1962. During her school years she made a group of lifetime friends. This group of friends calls themselves "Club" and they still get together once a month. After Donna and Dee were married, they moved 11 times in seven years as Dee took positions out of town to advance as an electrician. In 1970, they built their house in South Jordan, where they raised four daughters.
In 1972, Dee and Donna re-mortgaged their house and with the $7,000.00 they received they started into the electrical contracting business. Arco Electric was one of their great enjoyments in life. They loved the business and the people. Donna loved the bookkeeping and running the office. She had the old fashioned black books with the ledger sheets and they balanced to the penny.
Donna still had her books years later because she didn't trust the computer. Donna truly took an interest in every person that worked for Arco. Donna was the Mom of Arco Electric until she retired in 2000. Donna still made a social event out of her visits to the Arco Shop years later when she would just stop by to check on "her books." Donna was either a Mom figure or a friend to everyone. Anyone in need would always receive a prayer from Donna.
Donna and Dee were able to do a lot of traveling during some of their retirement years. Their motor home was equipped with all the health aides for Dee and Donna's unwavering care and love. They traveled from the Calgary Stampede Rodeo in Canada to Old Tucson, from California to the heart of NASCAR in North Carolina and at every Hard Rock Cafe along the way. Every trip they went on Donna knew somebody or somebody's kid they needed to stop and see. Donna's grandkids were a source of joy for her. The grandkids looked forward to going birthday shopping with Grandma and staying over night at Grandma's house.
Donna is survived by her four daughters, Leesa Clark (Jim Millerberg), Lea Dawn Clark, Janet Clark, and Carolyn (Kevin) Wayman; grandchildren, Kacey Wayman, Nickolai Winger, Leander Winger, Colton Wayman, Selena Clark, and Wyatt Wayman; brother, David (LaVon) Turner; sisters-in-law Delores (Bill) Jones, Sharon Clark, and Shirly Turner; brother- in-law, Fred (Linda) Riding; extended family, Connie (Tom) Tuttle, Michelle Furse, "Cousin" Mark Tyson, Tony and Debbie Passino, James and Roxann Grant. Preceded in death by her lifetime love who she couldn't be without, Dee Clark; parents; brother, Jerry; father and mother-in-law, Bill and Maxine Clark; brother-in-law, Cliff, sister-in-law, Cleo, and dear friend, Mariana Reyes.
