Edith I.V. Clark
, who met
William George Clark

Mine in
Yellowknife

Vienna, Austria
, Edith was an adventurer, a published author, actress, talented artist,
musician, teacher, and most of all, a dedicated mother. 'Mutti' was a free spirit who lived life creatively, with an unextinguishable joie de vivre even
in times of great hardship. A Celebration of Life will be held on her birthday, April 8. Friends wishing to attend may contact us for details.
