It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our board member, colleague, and friend, Ms. Judy Clark.

Ms. Clark diligently served as a board member with Big Sandy Area Community Action Program since 2010 years and served as treasurer for five years. Her enthusiasm for Community Action, particularly the Head Start program which she was a part of for many years, and her concern for the health and welfare of eastern Kentucky families was truly an example to us all.

We have lost a friend and the Big Sandy Community has lost a tremendous ally in the fight against poverty.

So it is with a heavy heart that we share Ms. Clark’s obituary.

Judith L. Clark 70, of Pilgrim, Kentucky passed away Monday, May 30, 2016 at Kings Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, Kentucky. Judy was born on December 9, 1945 in Williamson, West Virginia to the late Chester Sr. and Beatrice Whittman Brown. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, James T. Clark and two brothers, Corky Brown and Terry Brown.

Judy is survived by her three children, James Bowie (Delia) Clark of Inez, Kentucky, John David (Melinda) Clark and Lisa Ann Clark both of Lexington, Kentucky along with one granddaughter, Abbie Clark. She is also survived by two siblings, Chester Brown Jr. of Cattlesburg, Kentucky and Jenny BeDilion of Beauty, Kentucky and half-brother, Carl Maynard.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Ms. Clark’s family in their time of sorrow. Her family has created a Life Tribute webpage to allow everyone to share their memories of her.
