Shirley Clark passed away peacefully in her home on 1/26/16 with her son, Jerry, at her side. She was born 2/9/1927 in Greenville, PA, one of 10 brother and sisters, two of which survive – June Fry and Ginny Burchfield. She always had many stories to share about them with a smile and a chuckle.

She was the mother of two sons, Gary Spradling (deceased) and Jerry Spradling of Springfield, MO, and Grandmother to Elizabeth Spradling of Springfield, MO. They were her pride and joys.

A special thank you to her caregivers Cindy Massey and Ann Craven who showered her with genuine caring and kindness.

There is a sense of joy and peace to those who loved Shirley in knowing she passed from this world from Jerry's loving arms into Gary's loving arms in heaven.

A private service is being held at Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home.
