Joni Clark Obituary
Joni Lynn Clark, born Dec. 2, 1957, peacefully passed away surrounded by her family Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
Joni was the beloved daughter of Jim and Barbara Baney and was united in marriage to the love of her life, Raymond Clark, on July 4, 1975. Together, they celebrated 48 years of cherished marriage.
Joni is survived by four devoted children, Amanda Solether (Tony Stewart), Michael (Molli) Clark, Kari Boes, and Ryan (Rani) Clark; grandchildren she was the loving and proud grandmother of, Mitch, Owen, Landon, Cooper, Alex, Brody, Brynn, Lily, Kaitlin, and Dillon; sister, Beth (Rick) Bowers; brothers, Jim (Bev) Baney and Jeff (Nikki) Baney; brother-in-law, Jim Barringer; and many nieces, nephews, and great friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Ray; sister, Judy Barringer; and son-in-law, David Boes.
Joni's life was a testament to love, family, and faith. She found joy in simple pleasures, especially camping and the cherished friendships she cultivated at the Tee Pee Campground. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her children and grandchildren and she took immense pride in all their accomplishments. Joni was a dedicated member of Basic Truth Church, where her faith provided her strength and solace.
Joni will be remembered for her warm heart, unwavering love, and infectious laughter. Her legacy of love and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A memorial service to celebrate Joni's life will be 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at Basic Truth Church, Cygnet. Pastor Jim Baney and Pastor Chris Baney will officiate.
