Rita Ann Clark, 100, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, passed away Monday, September 15, 2025. She was born May 29, 1925, in Sharon, PA to Michael and Anna (Fedorchak) Matsko.

Rita grew up in Pennsylvania and graduated from Sharon High School. She went on to study at Saint Luke's School of Nursing, in Cleveland, OH, where she received her RN degree. She married Dr. Eugene V. Clark on October 27, 1948 at St. Ann Catholic Church in Sharon, PA. After the wedding, they moved to Green Bay where her husband established his Internal Medicine private practice. Rita was a member of St. Jude Parish, and the Brown County Medical Auxiliary for many years, where she served as Chairperson for several committees, and as Auxiliary President in 1957-1958.

She was a woman of deep faith with strong moral values. Rita had learned not only from her faith but from her mother that no matter who, she was to care for those around her. When help was needed, she would step in and provide food and care. Rita was devoted to the care of animals, especially those living outdoors. She loved her indoor cats and they were an integral part of her daily life. She enjoyed running, Pilates, and Tai-Chi. She was always baking, cooking, and making preserves. She enjoyed sharing her homemade cookies, jam, and desserts with family, friends, and neighbors. Rita grew beautiful roses and appreciated the peacefulness of gardening outdoors.

She is survived by her daughter, and numerous nieces and nephews. Rita was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Eugene V. Clark; parents, Michael and Anna; ten siblings and in-laws.

Friends and family will gather at St. Jude Parish, 1420 Division St., from 10:30am to 11am on Wednesday, September 24; Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 11am. Ceremony will conclude with a Blessing for Caregivers, as all of us are caregivers; followed by a Blessing for Our Pets. (Please bring photos of your pets if you wish.)
