Born on March 9, 1944, to the late Clois and Mary Elizabeth Massey Copeland in Livingston, Fay lived a life filled with simple joys and unwavering love for her family and companions. Fay found happiness in the small things. She was an avid yard saler, passionate gardener, and loved to spend hours browsing flea markets. Her heart was full of warmth for her many cats, who were a constant source of companionship throughout her life. Camping trips and family gatherings were some of her favorite ways to spend time with those she cherished, especially her beloved grandchildren, with whom she shared a deep bond.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Kirby Clark, of Livingston; her daughter, Rena Henry, and her husband, Daryl, of Cookeville, TN; her grandsons, Zachary Morgan and his wife Samantha, Nicholas Morgan, and Jacob Morgan, all of Cookeville; and her great-granddaughter, Autumn Morgan. Fay is also survived by her siblings, Paulette Wilson of Portland, IN, and Jimmy Copeland and his wife Deborah of Livingston and special nieces Brittany Ledbetter and Bethany Zidek and a host of nieces and nephews.

Fay was preceded in death by her parents, Clois and Mary Elizabeth Copeland.

Her family and friends will forever remember her peaceful nature, her gentle heart, and the love she gave so freely. The pallbearers for Mrs. Clark’s service will be her grandsons, Zachary Morgan, Nicholas Morgan, and Jacob Morgan, as well as Ray Wilson, Billy Copeland, and David Wilson.

Though Fay’s earthly journey has ended, her legacy of love, kindness, and joy will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
