Alton, NH

Sally A. Clark of Alton passed away Monday, March 22, 2021 surrounded by her four children. She was born in Cambridge, MA in 1931, the only child of Charles T. Andrews and Doris McDuffee. While she grew up in Belmont, MA, she spent all her summers with her mother and grandmother in Alton, NH at the family homestead on Pine Street. She picked blueberries on the hill on Route 140, skated at the roller rink at the Bay and waitressed at the Dockside Restaurant when she was older. Growing up Sally took piano lessons and playing classical pieces was a lifelong joy. She graduated Valedictorian of her high school class, an accomplishment she was very proud of. She went on to Cornell University and earned a BA degree. Her first job out of college was with Procter & Gamble where she traveled around the country doing market research. One of those trips took her to Allentown, PA where a foggy night and a twist of fate caused her to run into Davidson Clark, a man she had met only once before while in college. They married in 1955 and he was the love of her life for 65 years.

Sally and her husband began married life in Haddenfield, NJ where they had their daughter Terry and son David. They then moved to Troy, NY following her husband's job with General Electric. There they had two more daughters, Janet and Doris. In 1970 the family settled in Greenville, MI where Sally started a job as computer programmer at Wolverine Worldwide and later became a systems analyst. She was proud of her accomplishments including stream-lining the order-entry and distribution systems, saving the company time and money.

In 1989 Sally and Dave moved up to Alton permanently to care for her mother. They spent winters at their Ormond-By-The-Sea, Florida home. They traveled annually to Hawaii with Dave's brother, Richard Clark, as well as visiting China, Russia, Hungary and Czech Republic. Summers in Alton were spent with grandchildren Zach, Davidson, Molly and Tyler Betts.

Sally was preceded in death by her husband in 2007. She is survived by her children Terry Clark of Chicago, IL, Dave and Jacqueline Clark of Temecula, CA, Janet and John Betts of Hilton Head Island, SC and Doris Clark of Dallas, TX.
