Patricia A. Clark 1940 - 2012 HINSDALE, NH Patricia A. Clark, 72, of Plain Road, Hinsdale, died peacefully at her home on Saturday, July 14, 2012, with her family at her side. Pat was born on April 22, 1940. She had a wonderful childhood growing up with her parents, Maximilian and Margaret, in New York City. She moved to Valley Stream, L.I., with her family when she was in high school. She graduated in 1957. On Aug. 26, 1967, she married John H. Clark of Weston, Mass. After living in Valley Stream for one year, the couple bought School #5 in Whitingham, Vt. She often told stories of her first winter at the schoolhouse and how cold and homesick she was. Her three children were born in Vermont and in 1980 they moved to Hinsdale, N.H. Even though she came to love both Vermont and New Hampshire, she loved going back on visits to the "Big Apple." Before moving to Vermont, Pat had worked for over 10 years in New York City. For the past 31 years, she had worked in the Special Education Department at Brattleboro Union High School. Also, in 1984 she and her husband started Clark Landscaping. Pat loved being outdoors, enjoyed working in her flower gardens and loved to travel. Every Christmas season, she worked with her husband and son making and decorating Balsam Christmas wreaths. Pat especially enjoyed spending time with her beloved family and friends. Pat is survived by her three children, Kevin and his wife, Sharon, of Nottingham; Michael and his wife, Sally, of Greenfield, Mass.; and her daughter, Kristen of Hinsdale. Her only grandchild, Jack, son of Michael and Sally, brought great joy into her life. She was predeceased by her husband in 2006.
