Bernice Fritz Clark was born on July 8, 1909, the daughter of John and Helen (Luebke) Fritz. She was born at the farm home in French Creek Township, Allamakee County, IA. She was baptized at Zion Reformed Church in Waukon on August 15, 1909 by Pastor G.D. Ellicker. She attended the Lycurgus Country School through the 8th grade.
Bernice married Horace Clark on November 19, 1930 at the Congregational Church at Churchtown, IA. To the union three children were born, Curtis, Lois and Dianne. They farmed the Clark farm in Makee Township until 1965 when they moved to Waukon.
Bernice was a hard working farm wife. She liked to dance, play cards and knit. Nearly one hundred afghans were made and given to family and friends around the world. Because of declining eye sight, she had to give up knitting and card playing. She danced with the assistance of partners at her 100th birthday party. She was an avid bread, roll, pie and cake baker for many years in Waukon. She baked and decorated baptismal, confirmation, graduation, birthday, wedding and anniversary cakes into her 90s.
She was also a 4-H leader for almost 30 years, something she always enjoyed. She was co-leader of a very successful club, the Lycurgus Lassies.
Bernice was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Waukon and a member of the Presbyterian Women's Organization. She was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. She participated Senior Citizen activities until her move to Marion, IA.
Survivors include her daughters, Lois McCormick of Marion and Dianne (George) Prieditis of Chanhassen, MN; her daughter-in-law Marilyn (Robert) Bulman of Waukon; ten grandchildren; seventeen great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; several nieces and nephews and their families; and one first cousin. She was preceded in death by her husband Horace and son Curtis, as well as her parents, a brother, Arthur (Artie), two half sisters and two half brothers.
Casketbearers are Doug Clark, Joel Clark, Sue Clark, Thea Thies, Shelly Gearhart, Mark McCormick, Denise McCormick, Brad Prieditis, Mara Domanski, and Shelley Prieditis.
