Our precious mom, Thelma Anne Garner Clark, was taken to her heavenly home on October 1, 2019.
Thelma was born on July 16, 1930 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Thomas and Thelma (Gilger) Garner. Thelma was married to Billy J. Clark, Sr. for over 50 years when he died too young.
Thelma graduated from Central High School in Oklahoma City. She retired from the US Postal Service after 30 years of employment. She was the first female postmaster in Fairview, Oklahoma and later managed the downtown Oklahoma City post office.
She was an avid reader and loved collecting antiques and rare coins.
Thelma was deeply loved by her three children, Becky West and husband Ron of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Billy Clark, Jr. and wife Debbie of Blanchard, Oklahoma, and Sonda Mythen of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; her sister, Pauline Roby of Norman, Oklahoma; her brother, Col. Thomas Garner, Jr. and wife Lucille of Richardson, Texas; ten grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. She will be greatly missed.
Thelma was preceded in death by her husband, Billy Jack Clark, Sr.; two brothers, John and Bill Garner; her sister, Mary Jo Fletcher; father, Thomas C. Garner, Sr. and mother, Thelma Della (Gilger) Garner.
Thelmas family wishes to thank the special caregiving angels in Building 3 at Heritage Point of Oklahoma City and the compassionate caregivers of Physicians Choice Hospice for their care and love given to our mom.
