A Nashville Tennessee Area NewspaperEleanor Louise Clark, age 95, at assisted living home in Donelson, TN, after a brief illness. Eleanor was born February 2, 1909 in Union City, IN to James Oscar Clark and Bertha Vashti (Barnes) Clark. Her grandparents were Adolphus and Eliza Jane (Bates) Barnes of Union City, IN and ilas Sampson and Emily Jane (Moore) Clark of Farmington, IN. She is preceded in death by her brother, George Rogers Clark of Ft. Worth, TX, and her sister, Mary Elizabeth Cook, of Donelson, TN. She is survived by her nieces, Patricia (William) Nelson of Franklin, TN and Lorene (Fredric, Jr.) Lambert of Cross Plains, TN and nephew, George Rogers Clark II, of Bethany, OK; eight great-nieces; three great-great nieces and three great-great nephews; and her exceptional caregivers, Lawrence and Marianna Branza. Eleanor was a member of the Cathedral of the Incarnation since 1947, and prior to her illness, was a long-time resident of the Leah Rose Apartments in Nashville. She was retired from the Tennessee Department of Public Welfare, and was also an exceptional natural artist who completed further studies in watercolor and oils at Watkins and Centennial Park. She willed her remains to Vanderbilt University Medical School. Donations may be made in her memory to Alive Hospice of Nashville.

Additional Note
As the last days of her illness closed upon her, Eleanor frequently told her caregivers she had seen and talked with her sister and her mother. She also told Marianna there was the most beautiful home with gardens all around waiting for her. She said someone told her it was “the painting I have been working on my whole life.” On the Saturday before she passed to the other side, she brightened up and asked to play the organ. She also asked to see up close one of her favorite oil paintings of magnolias in a vase. As one who had long missed her own pet cat, Samantha, she derived much joy from the Branza’s pet cat, Cora. In willing her body to Vanderbilt, Eleanor remarked with great humor that her “father moved to Nashville so his children could go there, but I’m the only one who's going to get in.”
