Obituary
Alice Rita Gray was born October 17, 1932 to Myrtle and Clarence Gray in German town Pennsylvania. She had a sibling who died in childbirth, therefore Alice grew up as an only child with no siblings. Her love of family life began with her marriage to Albert P. Clark, Sr. civilly in South Carolina and then married once again in the Catholic Tradition, marring in Saint Joseph parish in Harlem, New York
Alice and Albert, Sr. had 5 children all of them living, including her first born Renetta Clark, then Albert P. Clark, Jr., then Theresa Annette Clark, then Brenda Michelle Clark-Medina, and finally Roslyn Celeste Clark-Farley.
Alice has a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren all living to date. Alice was a faithful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she shared her love with them all, encouraging all to respect their family and most importantly to love God and neighbor.
Alice was an avid reader and loved education, earning her diploma and Associate Degrees later in life. Alice and Albert, Sr. respected faith and education so much, that they sent their children to Catholic Schools when tuition's were hard to complete and they paid tuition long after their children graduations were completed.
After a long illness Alice entered into eternal life on November 27, 2020 on the Marian Feast Day of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, as Alice had a great devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Alice will be grieved by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, daughter and son-in-laws and host of cousins and many friends, especially those of her home parishes of Saint Gabriel's in Washington, DC and Saint William of York in Stafford, Virginia.
