Blanche Clark

Lebanon, NH — Blanche Clark, 85, passed away on Saturday, March 25, 2017, at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. She was born in Lebanon on Feb. 1, 1932 to the late Merrill & Yvonne (Dion) Dube. Blanche attended schools in Lebanon and was married to Clayton Clark on Nov. 2, 1951. She had worked for Kleen Laundry for twenty-eight years before retiring. As a member of Sacred Heart Church; Blanche was a devout Catholic who found great strength and comfort in her religion and belief in God. She was also a member of The Lasalette Prayer Group. She could always be found in the bleachers at many school sporting events cheering her children on, then her grandchildren and continued going to the school events even after they all passed through the school system. Blanche was a long-time Boston Celtics and New York Yankees fan and had enjoyed watching the games on TV. She enjoyed living with her sister Theresa and her company. Blanche was always more concerned for others than for herself, she will be dearly missed.

She is survived by her three children, Dean Clark and wife, Louise of Canaan, Dana Clark of Lebanon, and Mona Newcity of Lebanon; a sister, Theresa Stone of Lebanon; five grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
