Karen Kay Clark, 69

Karen K. Clark, 69, of Butte, Montana, passed away at a local care facility on October 11, 2023. Cremation has been entrusted to Dahl Funeral & Cremation Service of Bozeman.

Karen was born on June 30, 1954, in Salinas, California, to Robert and Geneva (Thompson) Rowe. The family soon moved to Reno, Nevada, where Karen was raised. It was in Boulder, Montana, that Karen met and, on December 17, 1983, married Walter Clark. The two would spend the next 40 years together raising a family.

Karen was the consummate homemaker. She loved to cook for her family and rescue dogs. She also enjoyed gardening, swimming, reading, and, most importantly, her faith.

She will be missed by many but especially her husband, Walter Clark; son, Daniel Clark; daughter, Krista Clark; sisters, Betty (Ruff), Barbara (West), Sharon (Widger), and Paula (Comer); brothers, Cliff Rowe, and Larry Rowe.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Rowe; mother, Geneva Rowe; and brother, Bobby Rowe.

Karen and Walter opened their home to rescue animals over the years, giving many dogs and cats a new life in a loving home. If you wish to make a donation, please donate to Walter or a local animal shelter.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 2 PM to 5 PM on Saturday, September 21st, at the Rocker Fire Hall, 1110 Grizzly Trail in Rocker, Montana.
