Dolores Helen Clark of St. Johns, MI and formerly of Elmore, OH, passed away April 13, 2015 at the age of 87. She was born August 18, 1927, in St. Louis, MO, the daughter of Josephine and Stephen Chulick. On September 4, 1954 she married Edward C. Clark and he preceded her in death on September 1, 2013.

Dolores worked for Kelly Girls upon completion of secretarial training and then the railroad as an executive secretary. Dolores loved to travel using her railroad pass, a benefit with the railroad for free travel. Dolores reentered the workforce after raising their son. Dolores was the chief Children's Librarian at Wood County Public Library where she started a Children's Story Hour where she created and made characters to support the stories she read to the children she dearly loved. She made stories come alive for hundreds of children for nearly twenty years.

Dolores loved crafting, knitting, sewing, game shows and playing golf. She was a founding member of St. Jerome Catholic Church in Walbridge, OH where Ed and Dolores were active, contributing members. They were key fundraisers and avid volunteers in the construction of both the church and school; their son Daniel was in the first 97 children enrolled on September 7, 1965 entering 4th grade and in the first graduation class in 1970.
