17. | Ivy Lee Clark (3.Ivy2, 1.James1) was born on 28 Oct 1926 in Clarktown Community, Sabine County, Texas; died on 30 Jan 2021 in Pineland, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Mattox Cemetery, Survey Community, Mayflower, Newton County, Texas. Notes:
Ivy Lee Clark, 94, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather passed from this life in the early hours of Saturday, January 30th, 2021.
He was born October 28th, 1926 in Clarktown, TX in southern Sabine County, the youngest son of Ivy Franklin Clark and Mary Jane Parker Clark. He lived most of his life in Pineland where he was a member of the First Baptist Church of Pineland.
Ivy Lee spent his entire career in the timber industry operating his own businesses over the years before retiring to become a full time Papaw in 2008 where his duties included running the grandkids and friends hang out house on Nichols St. in Pineland, the best Halloween trick-or-treat house in town, backyard pool life guard, tv remote operator, watching The Weather Channel, cartoons and game shows (Tom and Jerry, The Price is Right, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune were a few of his favorites), eating Blue Bell ice cream, perfecting "million dollar" paper airplanes, finding the snacks Mamaw hid from him (which aggravated her to no end), "taking some exercise" by walking laps around the house, and making sure everyday to show his family how proud and loved they are.
Ivy Lee worked hard to support and provide for his family over the years and taught his children and grandchildren through example the values of kindness, hard work, honesty, generosity, and a good sense of humor. Ivy Lee was in every sense of the words "a truly good man."
Ivy Lee is survived by his wife of 53 years Tommie Jean Clark of Hemphill; daughter, Letha June Bichrest and husband, David, of Lumberton; son, Ivy Franklin Clark and wife, Frances, of Pineland; son, Michael Shane Clark and wife, Angela (Krisi), of Hemphill; and daughter-in-law, Jeanette Clark of Pineland. He has nine grandchildren and too many to count great and great great grandchildren who will cherish his memory forever and always wonder about the stories we heard about our Papaw that he "did not recollect" with a blush when asked about. He will be fondly remembered by numerous other extended family and friends who knew him and were blessed to be part of Ivy Lee and Tommie Jean's lives over the years.
He is preceded in death by his son, Timothy Lee Clark, daughter, Sandra Kay Clark, and his first wife, Letha LaVerne Kincel Clark.
Ivy Lee's family and friends will lay him to rest under the direction of Starr Funeral Home with Pastor Jerry Gilbert officiating on Monday, February 1st, 2021 at 11am at the Mattox Cemetery near Mayflower, TX north of Burkeville, TX off Highway 87.
Pall bearers will be his grandsons Jonathan Stracener, Christopher Clark, Nicholas Clark, Ivy Jacob Clark, great grandsons Jesse Johnson Jr. and Andrew Wilson.
Honorary pallbearers great grandsons Aiden Stracener, Carter Stracener, Braeden Leonard, Robert Ivy Clark, great-great grandson Hunter Johnson, and might as well be grandsons, Cary Lowe and Tristan McCauley.
A memorial service to honor his life will be planned at a later date. The family would like to thank the staff at the Hemphill Care Center for their tireless dedication and their loving care for Ivy Lee in his final years.
