Barbara N. Clark
May 29, 1942 – November 18, 2020
Barbara Nixon Clark woke up in the arms of Jesus on November 18th, 2020 after, leaving this world unexpectedly at her home in Louisa. She was born May 29, 1942, in Glen Ridge, NJ to the late Leon and Helen Nixon. She was preceded in death by her brother, Robert. Barbara (Mimi) is survived by her devoted husband of 59 years, Jeffery A. Clark; two children, Stacey A. Clark and wife Krista, Kristy Barnes and husband Wayne; eight grandchildren, David Clark, Josh Clark, Grace Clark, Hudson Clark, Marianne Barnes Crowley, Caleb Barnes, Peter Barnes, and Laura Barnes; and ten great grandchildren, all of whom she adored. Barbara’s testimony of grace was shown throughout her 43 years of ministry. She served alongside her husband as a missionary in Guatemala for 13 years, and earlier as a faithful pastor’s wife in Maine and Virginia. Barbara had a way of making every person she met feel special and loved. Her smile and words of encouragement could warm the saddest hearts, and her embrace could soothe the most distraught soul. A funeral service will be held at 2pm on Monday, November 23rd, 2020, at Christ Reformed Baptist Church in Louisa. Pastor Jeff Riddle will be officiating the service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any donations be made to Christ Reformed Baptist Church in support of their generosity during this time
Sister Barbara (Mimi) Clark was a dear sweet soul, she will be missed by all who knew and loved her. I know the LORD has received her with open arms and she is resting in His glory. We’ll see you again soon sister.
I’m praying that God’s healing touch will comfort the family, friends, and all who knew and loved Mrs. Clark to strengthen you in the days ahead. God loves you more than words can express.
“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted” Psalm34:18
Words cannot adequately express the gratitude I have in my heart towards God for allowing you to be my mom. You have been sunshine when the day is dark. You have been an encourager when I lost my way. I always knew if I needed you, you were there. You always put others needs above your own.
How can one person touch so many lives making them feel loved and special. How can one person care so deeply for so many?
The answer to this is that you had a heart sold out to God. You had a love for Him and it showed in everything you did. Thank you for leaving that legacy to my family. Our hearts grieve because we miss you so deeply. But we rejoice that you are with the God you loved so much. I can’t wait to see you again!! Love you.
