Clark, Velma Floa

Velma Floa Clark Let the Little Children Come Unto Him...
Velma Floa Clark, born January 14, 1919 in Cull, MO, was
one of nine children born to Enoch and Ollie Beach. She
was a caring, loving wife to Alfred P. Clark for 58 years
until his death in 1999. Together they raised their 4
children, Alfred Jay (Bonnie), Larry David (deceased),
Barbara (Bill) McGregor, and Marilyn (Bill) Stull, primarily in
Tacoma, WA. Becoming a young military bride before
WWII, she also traveled and settled in other parts of the
country and world throughout their 20 years of service to
the military. Velma's greatest pleasures in life and
beautiful evident sustenance centered around her
relationship with her Lord Jesus, her loving and genuine
ministry to children, her church (Bethesda Baptist), friends,
and most of all, her children, her grandchildren Will (Stevie
Jo, deceased) Clark, David Clark, Jennifer (Jonn) Moomaw,
Jeff (Jessica) James, Drew (Merissa) McGregor, Steve
(Shelly) McGregor, Stephany McGregor, and Sera McGregor,
Summer (Sean) Tichy, Eli (Heather) Stull, Joshua Stull,
Amber Stull, 21 great-grandchildren, and many many
children tenderly cared for throughout her life. Her last
prayer, spoken in the presence of her daughters just a few
days before she went to her Savior was, "Jesus, I love you
so much!...Help me to be faithful to the end." She was a
picture of faithfulness to the end. We love you and miss
you. We'll see you again with Him in Glory. All are invited
to a memorial service to be held at Bethesda Baptist
Church, 4340 S. L St., Tacoma, on Sunday, March 7,2010 at
1:30 pm. Memorial contributions may be made to Precept
Ministries International, 7324 Noah Reid Road,
