Her proudest moment came in 2000 when she was awarded the Horseman's award for a lifetime of dedication to the horse industry.
Clark was preceded in death by her parents. Survivors include a brother and sister-in-law, Dick and Salley Hadley of Oklahoma City, daughter, Shelly Clark of Oklahoma City, son, Steve Clark of Tulsa, Okla., a great number of friends and her pride and joy, pug 'Bridget.'
