Joanne K. Clark, age 70 of Fowler IN, after battling cancer for many years, passed away Saturday, October 17, 2020 at her son’s residence in Westfield IN. She was born February 18, 1950 in Hammond IN, to the late John and Marcella Kidwell.
Joanne graduated from Fowler High School in 1968. She worked at Union Carbide, Benton County Courthouse and Public Library, but most of all was a loving mother to her eight children. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Joanne was devoted to the Traditional Catholic Church and if you knew her at all you knew this. She dedicated many hours of her days to prayer for her children and our country. Our Lady of Fatima said that we should pray the Rosary daily and Joanne was faithful on her promise to do so. She has been a champion for the Rosary for many years and considered it the answer to any problem that would arise. She had a great thirst for the truth and the history of our Faith. Joanne’s love for Christ and The Blessed Mother led her on her journey to become an Oblate of the Guild of Saint Peter and Vincula on Mother’s Day, May 12, 2019. She is also a member of Our Lady of Good Remedy in Lizton, IN where she could be found every Sunday morning when her health would allow. After Mass she would always stay for coffee with friends she loved dearly.
She is survived by her two daughters, six sons and their families:
Daughter: Catie (Todd) Said. Children: Tiffany (Justin) Koning and Bentley & Jacob Koning, Ashley Kelley (fiancé Kyle Sheets) and Grover & Bryant Said.
Son: Jim (Stacie) Clark. Children: Luke Clark (Cara Pat Lee) and Liam, Thea & Kaden Clark, Toby (Emily) Clark and Reagen Clark, Bailey Perdue (Ashley Mancia) and Jackson & Abel Perdue, Olivia Fee, Ethan Clark and Zane Clark.
Son: Dan (Lindsey) Clark. Children: Taylor & Hayden Clark.
Son: Charles (Yvonne) Clark. Children: Victoria, Noah, Logan & Lillian Clark.
Son: Greg (Angela) Clark. Children: Kyle Clark, Parker Clark and Clayton, Kaitlyn & Mackenzie Clark.
Son: John (Haley) Clark. Children: Liza, Jack, Cecelia & Henry Clark.
Daughter: Susan Higdon. Children: Sam & Brayden Higdon.
Son: Nick (Heather) Clark. Children: Leona & Vivienne Clark.
In addition Joanne is survived by her ex-husband Jim Clark of Dunnington and her siblings: John (Mary) Kidwell, Dave (Mary) Kidwell, Mary Barrett, Angie (Wally) Curwick, Tom Kidwell, Marce (Jeff) Stineburg, Marge (Jim) Schwartz, Jeanne (Leon) Greives, Pat (Jim) Besse and Joe (Melinda) Kidwell.

After she put you kids to bed we’d stay up drinking coffee and laughing for hours. We also had many deep conversations about God and the rosary. I will miss her dearly! May God Bless you all always. ♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻
