Mary Ellen Clark went home to be with Jesus on August 21, 2022. She was born on May 11, 1943, in Riverside, New Jersey to Hiram and Mary Alleger. At an early age, Ellen trusted Jesus as her Savior and Lord and was baptized. She graduated in 1961 from Rancocas Valley Regional High School. Ellen’s first job after graduation was as a switchboard operator at New Jersey Telephone Company in Belvidere, New Jersey, where she met Sherman Clark in January 1963. Three months later Sherman proposed to Ellen, who said yes, and to this day, Sherman says that Ellen married him for his red convertible.
