Obituary of Caroline Clark

Caroline Gibbons Clark, born and raised in Archer, Florida, went home on June 20, 2014. Caroline will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, and a friend to humans and animals alike. Daughter of Fred and Eloise Gibbons, Caroline graduated from Archer High School, attended the University of Florida, and then embarked on a life-long career as a Navy wife--first to Lieutenant Commander Daniel C. Brouwer, and then to Commander Thomas B. Clark. Caroline is predeceased by her mother and father, brothers Hunter and Perry Gibbons, sister Margaret Brannan, and husbands Dan and Tom. Caroline is survived by sister Ella Charnley, and brother Henry Gibbons. She is also survived by daughters Mamie Brouwer (William Brewer), Dana Felton (William Felton), Margaret Ryan (Msgt. Timothy Ryan), step-daughter Christine Clark (Dr. Gerald Strope), and granddaughters Elizabeth Howe, Stephanie Felton, Dana Ryan, and Ella Ryan. Caroline is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. A church service at Archer Baptist Church with a grave-side service at Wacahoota Baptist Cemetery will be held in late October.
