She was born March 30, 1917 in Hayden to Hyrum Lyionel and Princess Eugeni (Gardner) Spencer. She married Tain Theron Clark on Nov. 23, 1936 in Vernal, which was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple.
An active member of the LDS Church, she and her husband were temple workers at the Manti LDS Temple for many years.
Darlene was many things in her life, including a florist, a waitress, a cook and a homemaker. She was a verifiable “domestic engineer.” She loved to have company over and could whip up a meal for a crowd in no time. Missed will be the amazing apple pies, the bread, the chicken and noodles, all lovingly made from scratch.
Tain and her family were her life.
Darlene is survived by her children, Betti (Earl) Curtis of Salt Lake City; Alva “Smokey” Clark, Theron “Chub” (Vera) Clark and Jerry “Muggs” (Valynda) Clark, all of Wellington; Connie (Kent) Norton of Price; and Shirlee (Larry) Lopan of Boulder City, Nev. Also survived by 27 grandchildren, 56 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by her sweetheart, Tain; a daughter, Barbara Henderson; her parents; and her brothers and sisters, including her twin.
Funeral services were Friday, Dec. 30, 2005 at the Wellington LDS Stake Center. Interment followed in the Price City Cemetery under the direction of Fausett Mortuary.
