Thelma Woods - Class of 1964

[Bob]

Thelma Woods Clark born July 21, 1945 in Knoxville, Tennessee departed this world on Monday, June 12, 2017. Thelma loved life and lived hers well. She was a giver of hugs, kisses, advice, nurturing, reason, unconditional love, and a shoulder to lean on or helping hand when needed. Thelma loved her dogs and was as loyal to them as they were to her. She also had a knack for making anything she touched beautiful, be it a head of hair, a garden, a home, or even a uniquely thrown together outfit. However, of all of her accomplishments, she was most proud of her children and grandchildren. Thelma loved with all her might, even those whom seemed unlovable. She was a precious gem and beautiful soul on this earth. One who especially enjoyed watching the sun rise and set over the lake from her rocker on her back porch. She was an avid reader of the Bible, a faithful servant of Jehovah, and was firm in her belief in an everlasting life. Her absence will most certainly be felt. However, her legacy of love will remain in the hearts of all who knew her forever. Thelma is survived by her daughter, Connie Clark Nordy (David) of Dover, TN; son, Michael Ray Clark (Valerie) both of Pleasant View, TN; grandchildren, Blair N. Offutt, Brendan C. Offutt, Christopher B. Offutt all of Springfield, TN, Michael C. Clark, Payton A. Clark both of Pleasant View, TN; brothers, Parvin Woods (Nancy) of Knoxville, Arthur Woods (Yvonne) Knoxville; and sisters, Mary White of Knoxville, Jewell Sheppard (Clyde) of Straw Plains, Glenda Shephard of Knoxville; and lifelong best friend, Jean Jackson of Nashville, TN.
