Joan Clark Obituary

Joan Lucille Shanelec Clark. Born on May 6, 1930, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2026.

She is survived by six of seven children, 12 Grandchildren, and 17 great-grandchildren.

Born in Sylvan Grove, Kansas, Joan moved to Johnstown, Colorado as a child. She graduated from Johnstown High School in 1949 and moved to Colorado Springs soon after. She met and married Wayne Clark Jr., a career soldier in the Army, who took her to many bases in Europe and the United States.

Joan was very proud to be an Army Wife and proved herself to be resilient and resourceful while moving frequently across the country or across oceans with her children in tow.

Joan had an amazing voice and sang for weddings and her church choir. She was also a skilled seamstress, an excellent cook, and a savage cribbage player.

Her gentle presence in our lives will be greatly missed as she joins her oldest daughter, mother, and her brothers in Heaven.
