Beverly Dee Dougan Clark, 73, of Cape Girardeau finished her earthly race and went to her heavenly home at 7:03 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2022, at her home.
She was born Nov. 18, 1949, to Forest and Lorraine Willis Dougan in St. Louis. She married Dennis "Dink" Clark on June 14, 1988. He preceded her in death.
Beverly was the youngest of six children. She was a devoted wife, friend, aunt and sister. She had an artistic gift and worked to create beautiful paintings and floral arrangements and could decorate anything. She loved to laugh and fiercely loved her family. The world was made a nicer place to those who knew her.
She is survived by her sisters, Sally Rendleman of Advance, Missouri, and Mona Smith of Scott City; brother, David Dougan of Florida; her devoted friend, Becky (Frank) Stinnett of Cape Girardeau; and many nieces and nephews.
Beverly was preceded in death by her husband, parents and brothers, Neil and Sidney Dougan.
She wished to have no formal services, but wanted trees planted for her and her husband.
A celebration of life for family and friends will be held at a later date.
Crain Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
