In Remembrance Of
Nancy Clark
Nancy May Clark, 88, of Gower, MO passed away April 11, 2026.
She was born on May 12, 1937, to Sid and Katherine (Hequembourg) Johnson in Sikeston, MO. Nancy grew up in rural Agency, MO and in 1955 she graduated from Faucett High School. She attended Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, MO, University of Missouri Columbia, MO and Northwest Missouri State College in Maryville, MO and received her bachelor’s degree in education and later her master’s degree.
On June 9, 1957, she was united in marriage to George Elmer Clark, Jr. After their marriage they lived in Maryville MO and Lathrop, MO before moving to Gower, MO where they made their home. Elmer passed away on September 17, 2005.
Nancy was an elementary educator for 33 years including four years as a principal. She was an active member of the Frazier Baptist Church where she played the organ and piano for many years. She was also an active member of several organizations in the Gower community including Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. Nancy enjoyed watching birds, playing cards and teaching piano (whether the kids enjoyed it or not). Most of all she loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and her dogs Zoey and Buddy.
She was preceded in death by her husband Elmer Clark; her parents Sid and Katherine Johnson; her brother Sidney Johnson; and her brothers-in-law Tom Trail, Zeke Clark and Curtis Giddens.

My children enjoyed Nancy during their elementary school years. She will be well remembered for having the Oregon Trail game in her classroom.
Myself, I have visited her many many times in recent years. She appreciated holding on to my arm. If I had a cookie or chocolate she was pleased..❤️🙏

Nancy was such a good influence as a teacher. And as a church Bible school teacher. and much respected as a church elder. Our families have been close for several generations, so I know as much as you will miss Nancy you know she is looking down from heaven smiling on all of you. Carol

My payer for her family is that she may live on in your hearts and memories until you meet again in heaven. Nancy was one of the original teachers when I came to East Buchanan. I could always count on her and held her in high regard.
