Marlen Eugene Clark

Marlen Eugene Clark, Sr., 68, of Sherwood, passed away June 28, 2014. His first love was his wife and family, followed by his love for his dogs. Hunting and fishing were his passions, but being in the woods surrounded by the turkeys' calling was his ultimate pastime. While in the Army he served his country proudly.

Grove, Missouri; and brother, Jimmy Clark and wife, Shirley of Alexander, Arkansas.
