Amy Cathleen Clark

Amy Cathleen Clark, 59, passed peacefully at home on the morning of July 25, 2026 with her family by her side. Amy had been ill for several years with multiple medical issues. She was an amazing woman throughout this long arduous journey. Every day was a struggle. My daughter is my hero! She was courageous, resilient, and a fighter to the end.

She was born to Vicki S. Gray Clark and Eric J. Clark. She grew up in Lafayette, Indiana and attended Lafayette Jefferson High School (1985). After high school, she attended Ball State University and graduated in 1991 with a B.A. in Criminal Justice. For 33 years she worked for the Indiana Department of Correction.

Amy is survived by her mother Vicki S. Clark (Jeff Cooke) (Lafayette), brother Eric J. Clark II (Kathryn) (Fredericksburg, VA); nephews: Eric J. Clark III (Silvina) (Texas) and Ewan A. Clark (Fredericksburg, VA); Aunts: Jane E. Gray (Peru), Rachel Clark (Peru) and Gloria Hetzner (Kokomo).

She was preceded in death by her grandparents:  Elizabeth A. Gray, Richard P. Gray, Ralph and Marjorie Clark; step-father: Phillip Insko; great grandparents: Audrey Mehl, Herbert Mehl, Ervin and Marie Gray.

She enjoyed cross stitching, diamond painting, reading, water activities and rock concerts. Most of all she loved her dogs. Her last dog, Sully (named after her favorite musician), preceded her in death and will be interred with her.

Amy and her family wish to extend their great appreciation to Dr. Lloyd Lorenz and his staff for assisting Amy and guiding her through much of her medical treatment.

While her passing has left a huge void in her mom’s life, she has been welcomed to Heaven with loving, open arms by her family. Her pain and suffering in this life has ended and now she is finally pain free and at peace.

A celebration of Amy’s life will be held at Flowers-Leedy Allen funeral home on August 17, 2026 with Pastor Brian Daniels officiating. Visitation will be 11 am – 1:00 pm with service immediately following. Burial will be at Mount Hope Cemetery (Peru) following the service.
