RUBY COONER CLARK

Ruby Cooner Clark, a longtime resident of Bayou Vista, was born on March 23, 1927, on her aunt’s yacht in Miami, Florida. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother who dedicated her life to caring for and providing for her family. In her later years, Ruby resided at the Morgan City Health Care Center, where she enjoyed socializing with the other residents and staff members as well as participating in various activities there. But her favorite pastime at MCHCC was definitely playing Bingo.
Ruby passed away in the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 14, 2018, at Teche Regional Medical Center and was blessed with 91 years on this side of eternity. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Those she leaves to cherish her memory include her two children, Barbara Ann Clark of Patterson and James Gerald “Jimmy” Clark and his wife Lora of Kingsland, Georgia; two brothers, Carl E. Cooner and his wife Sandra of St. Maarten, The Netherlands Antilles and Gerald I. Cooner and his wife Polly of Kingsland, Georgia; sister-in-law, Charolette Cooner of Cullum, Alabama; as well as three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Thomas Clark; her parents, Gerald Cooner and Essie Lee Brazell Cooner; and one brother, Lee Cooner.
Funeral services will be held Friday, November 16, 2018, at noon at Ibert’s Mortuary in Patterson with visitation beginning at 11 a.m. Following the service she will be laid to rest in Ibert’s Memorial Park Cemetery. The Rev. Mark Norwood will conduct the services.
The family would like to express their sincerest gratitude to the staff of the Morgan City Health Care Center for the loving and compassionate care given to their mother.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made in Ruby’s name to a favorite charity of choice.
