Obituary for Allison Clark

Allison Clark passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on their farm in Franklin, Arizona on Sept. 8, 2021. 

She was born on May 1, 1931, to Florence (Cook) and Orvil Waller in New York.

During her life, she developed and used her many talents to bless the lives of those around her.  She spent many years as a swimming instructor and very much enjoyed water sports. Quilting was another skill she excelled at and was awarded many blue ribbons for her exquisite quilts and other works of art, including many paintings and drawings.  She also loved working with wood, and her creations were beautiful as well as practical. Most all of her friends and relatives have enjoyed the gifts of her crocheted towels and other items, and she passed her skill and knowledge on to others to carry on the tradition.

Allison is survived by her older brother, Donald (Arlene) Waller; son, Richard (Sharon) Clark; four grandchildren, Marta Waddell, David Clark, Orvil Clark, and Malia Waits, and 11 great-grandchildren.

A private memorial will be held by the family.

Services were cared for by McDougal’s Caldwell Funeral Chapel located at 112 E. Main St. Safford, AZ. 85546, 928-428-1740.
