Joene R. Clark

WEST BALDWIN — Joene Raye Clark, 58, was received in the arms of the Lord on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2011, surrounded by her loving family in her home.

She was born on Aug. 12, 1953, to Rae (Locke) and Leroy Bacon Jr. In 1986 she married her soulmate, Maurice “JC” Clifton Clark Jr. Together they raised three children.

She was a devoted friend and mother who enjoyed spending time with her family, gatherings with friends in North Gorham, snowmobiling and gardening. One of Joene’s fondest memories was being given the trip of a lifetime to Alaska with her husband.

She was predeceased by her husband and parents. Joene is survived by her children, Ben Pride, of Windsor; Maurice “Jay” Clark III, of Limington; Tamara Clark and her fiancé who are expecting their first child; four grandchildren; three brothers, Randall Bacon of Gouldsboro, Gary “Tiger” Bacon of North Gorham, and Brian Bacon of Hollis.

A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, at Chase Cemetery on Highland Cliff Road in Windham. A gathering of friends and family will follow at the United Church of Christ at North Gorham, on Standish Neck Road in North Gorham.
