Obituary
Martha Ruth Goodson Clark left this world on May 20, 2020 to spend eternity with our Lord and Savior. She was born to Roy Stevenson and Marie Gattis Goodson on February 21, 1922 in Tallahatchie County.
She was a remarkable, resilient woman, generous and loving, full of wit and spunk! She nurtured in each of us a rich family tradition through her loving hospitality, sewing talent and storytelling. Her heart was as big as the world and her family loyalty was even larger. Her community will remember her long volunteer services at the Food Pantry in Grenada, MS. She was also a longtime member of Holcomb Baptist Church in Holcomb, MS.
She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings Doug, Jim, Steve, Bill, Maxine Hayward, Emogene Reynolds and Muriel Ward, her children Betty Evelyn and Carl Wilson Clark, Jr., husbands Robert Houston Bailey and Carl Wilson Clark, Sr., grandchildren, Gaye Garrett Montgomery and Jim Eli Garrett, III, and a great-granddaughter, Dallie Davis.
Leaving behind to cherish her memory are daughters Dallygene Bailey Reeves and Mignon Clark Backstrom (Buzz), sister Faye Goodson Thomason Albritton, grandsons Carl Wilson Clark, III (Pam), Charles Brown Backstrom, Jr (Maddie), granddaughter Kari Clark Backstrom Clary (Logan), great grandsons Christopher Chad Clark, Stephen Craig Clark, Andrew Wayne Clark, Andrew Garrett Jenkins, Jackson Eli Garrett, great granddaughters Valerie Hale, Lillian Parker Clary, Jayde Taylor Clary, Stella Jean Clary, Bellamy Brown Backstrom and a host of nieces and nephews.
Services will be conducted by Rev. Kevin Tribble with music by Rodney and Judy Mainelli. Family visitation is at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service in Grenada, MS at 1:00 PM Saturday, May 23rd, 2020 followed by graveside services at 2:00 PM at Holcomb Cemetery.
We give special thanks to Hospice of Western Kentucky and caregivers, Erin, Samantha, and Adam. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Western Kentucky or Holcomb Baptist Church, 220 Tuscahoma Street, Holcomb, MS 38940.
