Karen E. Bartley Clark
Karen E. Bartley Clark, 70, of Washington, passed away Saturday, December 21, 2019.
She was born December 30, 1948, to the late Fred W. and Evelyn Javorsky Bartley, of Masontown.
A member of Immaculate Conception Church, she was a graduate of German Township High School and the Washington School of Radiology.
Karen spent her career at the Washington Health System, as supervisor of the radiology department. She also helped to open the Neighborhood Health Center.
An avid bowler, Karen was inducted into the Washington County Bowling Hall of Fame and she enjoyed gardening. Most of all, she treasured spending time with her two children, and four beloved grandsons. She was always very involved in her children’s activities when they were growing up, during which time, Karen could be found in the bleachers at most soccer games and wrestling matches, cheering on the older boys. In later years, she spent many days riding around the yard in her golfcart, much to the delight of the youngest boys.
Karen will fondly be remembered for her commitment to her family and for her generous spirit.
She is preceded in death by her parents, and Clifford “Bo” Iddings.
On June 17, 2000, she married Gary Clark, who survives.
Also surviving are her children, Sandy (Ronnie) Harris of Claysville and Craig (Michelle) Iddings of Washington; grandsons, Tyler Harris, Aaron Harris, Leo Iddings and Beau Iddings; a brother, Jerome (Marilynn) Bartley of Carmichaels; as well as many other family members and friends.
