PROOF OBITUARY

Effie Jacqueline Clark aka Jackie Clark, of Los Angeles, CA, passed

away on November, 18th, 2015. Jackie was born in Melbourne, Arkansas
on September 30, 1946 to Clifton and Mattie Clark. She graduated
from Bradley County High School in 1964, and continued her training
as an Administrative Assistant. Two years later, she moved to Tucson,
Arizona and then moved to Los Angeles, California. She began a career in
modeling, while working for Macy’s Department Store for several years.
She continued administrative training, and in 1974 started working for
Empire Seaside Carpeting as a receptionist, administrative assistant, and
bookkeeper. In 1979, she went to work for Mar-Gulf Management, Inc.
(Real Estate Development) and remained there until her death-36 years.
During this time, she also worked for the Red Cross.

She met Milton Flowers and through this union, had three children:

Zachary, Christopher, and Winfred. Her hobby and interest in interior
decorating became a passion for finding and selling antiques and
collectibles. She sold at places such as, the Glendale Swap Meet (once
a month), and Melrose Trading Post (three times a month). She really
enjoyed finding and refurbishing collectibles at garage and estate sales. It
seems as though she was at the Goodwill stores more than the employees
and would often bring them newspaper, so they could wrap glassware
for other customers. She also sold through Ebay and Craigslist. In the
last few years, she developed arthritis, but would not let that be an
obstacle to enjoying and doing the things she loved. She had a keen eye
for recognizing what kinds of objects would sell and also had a friendly
rapport with buyers. She also loved to travel, but would also go to swap
meets in many of the places she visited.

Jackie will be missed by those who knew and loved her. She was a

devoted mother, who would often put the needs of others before her own.
She is preceded in death by her parents Clifton and Mattie and daughter
in law, Chanelle Fortier. She is survived by her sons, Zac, Christopher,
and Winfred; brother, Excel; grandchildren, Kris, Kalani, Jazz, Justice, and
Vanessa; great grandchild, Noah; and friends and colleagues.

“Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise.”
PROVERBS 31:31 (NIV)

Proverbs 31:13-27
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her
family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her
earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong
for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at
night. 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She
opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows, she has
no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for
her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells
them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is
on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread

of idleness.
