Mary Irene Clark
1931 - 2008
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother on Tuesday, July 22, 2008, at the age of 76, at the Miramichi Regional Hospital after a courageous battle with cancer. Beloved mother of James (Cheryl), Jacqueline (Ray) and Jason. Loving grandmother of Brittany and Jack. She is survived by three sisters, Elizabeth Neilson of Oromocto, NB, Jacqueline Wood of Miramichi, NB, and Kay Foran of St. Catherines, ON. She is predeceased by her husbands, Earle; Mother, Catherine; Father, James; and Brother, Reginald. Irene was born in Newcastle on August 28, 1931 and was raised on the family farm on the king George Highway. She was educated at St. Mary's Convent and attended St. Mary's Catholic Church. Her first career was as the secretary to the Mill Manager Mr. Murcie at Fraser's Pulp Company. As was the Custom of the time, when she married Earle it was necessary to leave the position at the mill. She followed him to Edmundston, NB where he was transferred by NB Tel as a lineman. It was there James was born. The next move was to Saint John, NB as another transfer in 1964. it was here that Irene laid the framework for a long nurturing family life that would include another daughter Jacqueline and son Jason. Following the sudden tragic death of her husband Earle in 1976, she remained in Saint John for one year and then returned to her roots in Newcastle, building a home beside the old homestead where she enjoyed the support of her family siblings and mother in raising her own. Over time she held a number of temporary secretarial positions in the area. Irene had a passion for literature and reading that would be surpassed by few. Always reading four to six biographies and non-fiction theory or political books at the same time. She found comfort in her religion and attended mass almost daily at various Catholic churches on the river. She always enjoyed the many church suppers that went along with such a large repertoire of parishes. Being an exceptional cook herself, she always appreciated the skill and work to prepare such home style meals. She was very proud of her two young grandchildren and followed their talents and education with interest. She was always active walking the "bridges" until of late, cross country skiing and bowling with the Seniors Club. She supported her church through activities in the RCIA and Parish Council. The sight of her little black car around the river in early morning going to church and then Tim Horton's or Burger King for breakfast will sadly be missed by her many close friends, some who she had from childhood. In honor of her brave battle with cancer, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of one's choice. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the staff of the Miramichi regional Hospital for their compassionate care of Irene in her last days. At the request of the family there will be no visitation. A public Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated from St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church on Saturday at 10am. Funeral Arrangements are under the care of Bell's Funeral Home, 651 King George Highway, Miramichi, NB. Telephone: (506)622-3600
