We mourn the loss and Celebrate the Life and Legacy of Mrs. Nadine Brooks Clark 97, of Shreveport, La.

The baby girl grew and bloomed into school age. Nadine began her education in Desoto Parish. She went back to Second Ward High School and tested at Centenary College and received her High School Diploma on May 8, 1977. Nadine united in Holy Matrimony to the love of her life, Deacon Roy Clark on December24, 1940. God blessed this union with five children: R.C, Katie B., Uredell, Hazel, and Shirley Jean. She reared a niece, Alice Brooks Triggs, as her daughter. She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Mount Mariah Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Sam Price. After baptism, her religious work began. Nadine was a Sunday School Teacher for many years, Baptist Training Union worker, President of Pastor Aide, Choir Member, Mission Member and served in many more auxiliaries.
