Ann Theresa Clark Hardesty

The earthy circle of life for the Robert Leo and Rose Theresa Bumm Clark family is complete, Ann Theresa Clark Hardesty passed from this life on May 19, 2019 and now joins her family in heaven. She has been reunited with her husband, Thomas Clifton Hardesty Sr., her daughter Rose Mary Hardesty, her siblings, Martin Clark, Sylvester Clark, Aloysius Clark, Robert L. Clark, Jr., Bernadette Paulin, Mary Rose Hayden, Magdalene Morris, and Joseph Clark. She was born July 24, 1923 and was a long-standing member of St. Martin’s Catholic Church, serving on various committees and chair of the picnic raffle for many years.
