Patricia Clark, 68, of Bonsall, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on Saturday, July 24, 2010. Patti fought a long and brave battle with cancer and will be remembered for her enduring strength, compassion, love and selflessness by all whose lives she touched. She was a dedicated wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to many. All who knew her will agree that Patti was a true matriarch in all senses of the word, providing constant and unwavering devotion to her family and friends.

A resident of Fallbrook/Bonsall for almost 40 years, Patti is survived by her husband, Greg Clark; five children, Pattie, Justin (Jay), Jonelle, Jennifer and John; sister, Kathy; 16 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

A past board member for Fallbrook Pop Warner, former employee of Union Bank in Fallbrook and long-time Fallbrook business owner (Chevron Gas and Fallbrook Café) with her husband, Patti’s beauty and caring nature was known to many.

A memorial service for friends and family will be held on Friday, July 30, at 3 p.m. at North Coast Church, 2405 N. Santa Fe Ave, Vista, Calif. 92084. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Lung Cancer Society may be made in Patti’s name at LungCancer.org.
