Donna J. Clark

Donna J. Clark, 77, Indianapolis, passed away July 5, 2021, after a brief illness. Donna was born May 16, 1944, in Lebanon, Indiana, to the late Donald and Fillian Irene (Hanks) Woodard. She married Richard W. Clark on June 27, 1966, and he survives.

Donna graduated from Fishers High School and attended beauty school. She practiced as a hair dresser long enough to purchase a Ford Mustang Convertible. Donna was employed at USAirways for 25 years, retiring in 2000. She was also the owner and operator of Clarks Petals, a floral and balloon design business. She was a member of Faith Baptist Church and the Order of the Eastern Star. Donna lived life to the fullest – she loved to play golf, enjoyed gardening, various crafts, playing cards every Thursday, and loved walks in the park with Richard. She had an adventurous spirit and never turned down an opportunity to travel. She enjoyed trips to visit Richard’s family in upstate New York, Florida with her girlfriends, and San Francisco with her daughter Lisa. Donna’s life became complete with the addition of her only grandchild, Quinn. She loved to spoil him, but most of all, Donna knew the importance of spending time with him. She will be fondly remembered for her outgoing personality and gentle nature.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Gary Woodard.

Survivors include her husband of 56 years, Richard; daughter, Lisa (David) Murphy; son, Bryan Clark; grandson, Quinn Murphy.
