CALL TO WORSHIP (responsive)
Loving God, our Creator and sustainer, in you we live, and move, and have our being.
You, O God, have been our refuge and strength from generation to generation.
You, O Christ, are our hope and salvation; in you, death has been swallowed up in victory, and we have an inheritance which is imperishable and unfading.
Alleluia!  The Lord God Almighty reigns.  Let us rejoice, and give thanks to God for the victory.

MILDRED ANNA MAGNER CLARK   (continued)

Mildred was active in church and community all of her life and made many friends wherever she lived.  But it was as a mother where she distinguished herself with her absolute faithfulness in time and spirit to the needs of her two children -- Marilyn and Burnill.  All through their childhood and school years she devoted herself to their welfare teaching the way of the Christian life by precept and example.

She knew disappointment and sorrow in life, having suffered from tuberculosis while the children were small.  She spent fifteen months in the hospital before a cure for that dreaded disease was discovered and developed.  Following Mildred's release from the hospital, she spent several years at home regaining her health.  In 1948 the family moved to Wheat Ridge, Colorado so that Mildred could benefit from a better climate.

In 1954, Fred and Mildred moved their family to a pastorate in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  This was followed by assignments in Greeley and Denver, Colorado.

They retired to the Seattle area in 1970 and bought a home in Lynnwood.  Fred served as Minister of Visitation at Edmonds United Methodist Church.  In 1980 Mildred and Fred moved to the Hearthstone Retirement Home on Greenlake.  Following Fred's death in 1982, Mildred continued to live at the Hearthstone until 1995.  She spent her final years in Edmonds Rehabilitation and the Morning Glory Adult Family Home.

A BIG thank you!

                             MILDRED ANNA MAGNER CLARK

 

                              February 19, 1908 - May 20, 2000

 

Mildred Anna Magner was born February 19, 1908 on a farm near Galesburg, Kansas.  This was her address for the next fourteen years.  Her parents then moved to another farm just outside the city limits of the small town of Galesburg, which Mildred considered to be her home until she and Fred C. Clark were married in 1933. 

 

Mildred was graduated from Galesburg High School.  Following two years of college she received a life certificate to teach in the Kansas Elementary Schools, where she taught for seven years prior to her marriage.

 

She was the youngest of four children of Sam and Etta Magner.  Mildred had two brothers -- Ralph and Albert Magner -- both of whom preceded her in death.  Both brothers died after reaching retirement age and she felt their loss keenly.

 

Her sister, Audlene, also preceded her in death.  She felt very close to Audlene and lived with her and her husband, D.G. Springer for four years.  This was done to provide Mildred access to a better school for the seventh and eighth grades, and the opportunity of attending the first two years of high school in Galesburg.  Living with her sister gave Mildred the advantage of a nine-month urban school, compared with the eight-month rural school year.

 

Mildred and Fred were married on Christmas Eve, 1933 in Galesburg.  Much of their married life was spent serving Methodist churches in Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Washington.  She was baptized into the Christian Church as a young girl, so Mildred early was led to make her commitment to Christ and the Church.
