Lois "Lou" I (Hetler) Clark

Lois I. “Lou” Clark, 84, North Manchester, Indiana, passed away September 19, 2020 at her home. Lou was born December 22, 1935 in Wabash, Indiana, to Donald and Barbara (Randell) Hetler.

At the age of nineteen, Lou married her best friend Harold J. “Sparky” Clark on April 8, 1955. The two were wed for fifty-six years, before Sparky passed away October 21, 2011. During their journey together, Lou and Sparky started Clark’s Video and Electronics, North Manchester, Indiana, in 1985 and ran it until 2007 when they retired. Lou also owned and operated a dog grooming business for thirty years and did laundry for the North Manchester Clinic and also for various families in the North Manchester area.

The impact she had on her children and grandchildren is unmeasurable. She showed them the value of hard work, but at the same time, the softness for caring for ones’ family. She was also a spiritually strong individual and a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Wabash, Indiana.

The loving memory of Lois I. Clark will be forever cherished by her sons, Michael J. (Donna) Clark, Warsaw, Indiana, Gregory A. Clark, North Manchester, Indiana, and Steven W. (Donna) Clark, Parkland, Florida; daughter, Rhonda (Kim) Bradley, Mentone, Indiana; brothers, Donald (Jackie) Hetler, Warren, Indiana and Dennis Houston, Huntington, Indiana; sister, Donna Mae Dennis, Huntington, Indiana; son-in-law, Edward Wolms, Wisconsin; step-father, Marvin Huston, Huntington, Indiana; twelve grandchildren; and sixteen great-grandchildren. Lou was preceded in death by her parents and daughter, Kimberly K. Wolms, who passed away in 2015.

Private services will be held at a later date. Burial will be at Oaklawn Cemetery, 600 Beckley Street, North Manchester, Indiana. Pastor J.P. Freeman will officiate.
