Joan Lyon Clark, 93, a life-long resident of Greenwich, passed away on Sunday, April 28, 2024 at her home that brought her so much joy. Heaven gained another angel who will be greatly missed here on Earth.

Born on November 3, 1930, in Greenwich, Joan grew up in the Byram area where she later raised her family. After graduation she worked for Pitney Bowes where she met the crazy love of her life, Jimmy Clark. When Joan’s youngest daughter was in middle school, she volunteered at Greenwich Catholic School which turned into a fulltime job that she proudly held for 35 years. Joan liked to keep busy. She was a chaperone for the Stateliner’s Drum and Bugle Corps. and was involved in the Byram Veterans Association and Sacred Heart Church. Her passions were sitting at Byram Shore Beach (or any beach) reading a good book, bowling, going to the casinos, and watching sports on the television, especially the UConn Women’s and Men’s Basketball teams.

Joan was predeceased by her husband, Jimmy Clark, and her daughter, Dale Clark Lucian. She is survived by her daughters, Cheryl Clark (Greenwich) and Cathy Clark (New Hampshire); grandsons, Michael Baker, Jonathan Baker, Justin Lucian and wife Caitlin, Billy Robbins and Ben Robbins; son-in-law, Jimmy Lucian; and great grandchildren, Ethan and Madeline Lucian.

The family would like to thank Dr. Lisa Kurian and her staff at Northeast Medical Group; RVNA Health Hospice Care; and a special thank you to Joan’s aide, Mary, for her love and care.

Joan was a kind and generous soul, always putting others’ needs before her own. Her love and compassion extended to all those who knew her. Rest in Peace, Joansie.
