Sarah Ackerman "Sallie"  Clark (Ackerman)
Brooksville/Blue Hill

Sarah “Sallie” Ackerman Clark died on Motherʼs day May 13, 2018 from kidney failure and other complications of heart surgery.

She was born April 3, 1933 in Passaic, New Jersey. She was the daughter of David Greenlie Ackerman and Sarah Jane Benson. She attended the Masters School and Smith College where she met her husband Myron Harrison Clark Jr. They were married in 1955 and had five children. They lived in Canton, Connecticut and Wilbraham, Massachusetts before retiring to their summer home in Brooksville, Maine.

Sallie was an artist, swimmer and loving parent and grandparent.

Sallie was predeceased by her husband Harrison in 2015 and moved to the Parker Ridge Senior Living Community in Blue Hill, Maine.
She was also predeceased by her parents and siblings David, Judie and Peggy and grandchildren Ian and Aidan and leaves behind her children:
Harrison “Chief” and Pam Clark with their children Meghan, Andrew and Lily; Chris and Linda Clark with their children Brian (Martie) and great grandchild Eliza, Laura, David (Bavee) and Theresa;
Brooks and Debbie Clark with their children Rebecca, Meagan and Daniel; Margaret Clark with her children Erin, Ciaran and Julian;
and Sarah and Bill Baskin with their children Buck and Alex.
She also leaves behind her in laws Jean and John Eysenbach and Liz Ackerman.

The family would like to thank Reverend Allen Myers for his compassionate ministry during her final days, Kate Robinson of Parker Ridge for her caring and Home Instead whose services allowed her to live in her own residence after her stroke and die at home as she wished.

A memorial service will be scheduled later this summer.

Contributions in Sarah's memory may be made to the Tree of Life, P O Box 1329, Blue Hill, ME 04614

Arrangements by Jordan-Fernald, 49 Main St. Blue Hill.
