Clark, Carol A., 69, of East Conemaugh. Went to be with the Lord after a hard fought 14 years with ovarian cancer. Born June 16, 1945, in Johnstown. Daughter of the late Robert “Blair” and Dorothy “Toots” (Lee) Piker.

Survived by a devoted husband of 44 years, Gary A. Clark; sister Sylvia (Ron) Poprich who has been a great help and inspiration these last 14 years; and brother James Piker of East Taylor. Also her dearest niece (surrogate daughter), Stephanie Johnson and her family; husband, Rob and sons, Tyler, Cody; brother-in-law, Tom Gustkey who was always there and other nieces, nephews, co-workers and friends. She will be missed by her faithful companion, “Brandy”. Carol was a 1963 graduate of East Conemaugh High School and worked a long and loved career between Mercy, Good Samaritan and Memorial Hospitals in the finance department.  She loved crossword puzzles, bingo, but mostly her friends and co-workers who stood by her from the beginning, especially Carol Vogel who called daily and kept the books and prayers coming. Friends received 2-7 PM Sunday at the Baker-Harris Funeral Chapel, Conemaugh. Blessing service will be held at 7:00 PM Sunday, Father John F. Brezovec officiating. Private Committal will be at Grandview Cemetery at a later date. Family suggests contributions to Conemaugh Cancer Center in memory of Carol A. Clark.
