Obituary for William (Tee) Clark William (Tee) Clark
Former Covington Resident Was Westvaco Retiree

William (Tee) Clark died November 3, 2020.

He was born in Marion, Virginia on October 7, 1935, the baby boy to George and Mattie Clark.

Early in his life, the family moved to Covington, Virginia, a city he completely loved.

He was a great sportsman, playing football for his high school alma mater, Watson High. While at Watson High, he courted, fell in love and married his first love and mother of his children, Annie B. Jordan Clark. They were married until just months shy of their 50 year anniversary, losing her through her passing in 2005.

Tee knew and loved the Lord dearly. He often talked about his faith in God with Janice, with whom he was baptized at FBC in 1968.

He worked at the paper mill, now Westrock. He studied in their journeyman program, graduating in 1979 and worked as a boilerhouse mechanic until he retired due to health issues sometime in early years of the 2000's.

As a widower, Tee connected with a widowed classmate from Watson High, Jeanne Spurlock Randolph. They married in December 2008 and lived in Richmond, Virginia.

She is left to mourn her loss from their short marriage of 10 years.

Tee was proceeded in death by his parents, George and Mattie Clark, and all his siblings, Lawrence, Ellen, George, Ernestine, Janie, and Louise. Beloved niece, Carol, daughter-in-law, Susan; stepson, James, three great grand infants and a host of family, beloved in-laws and most of his close friends.

Tee's legacy that he adored are left to carry his memory: Gale, Guy, Janice (Yosef), Orlando (Stephanie), William (Dionne); special nephews, Gary (Michelle), Terry, Darrell. Three generations beyond his children, with him holding and rambling on the floor with most them are grand, great grand and great-great grandchildren. Two step children, Jill and Jevette. Brothers-in-law, George (Toby), Spurlock (Barbie), Cecil Jordan (Judy) and sister-in-law, Mable Jordan. Two older cousins, Margie Clark and precious cousin and friend, Geraldine Smith, as well as Denise Megginson, whom he was so happy to see on what has now become his last visit home; a host of other cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

Due to Covid 19 restrictions, the family will host a Celebration Walk-Through Visitation on Friday, November 20, 2020 from 6-8 p.m. at 1st Christian Community Center, 231 East Fudge Street, Covington, VA 24426.

Please respect Covid-19 guidelines; temperatures will be taken and you must social distance and wear masks.

A private service will be held on Saturday for the family.

Family members, please contact Janice Clark-Gebreyesus at (804) 773-0169 to let me know of your intentions to attend the service because we have been given a cut off number that may attend the service by the church which is so graciously hosting us due to Covid-19 restrictions. I am prayerful that everyone understands.
