Maureen Walker Clark

Maureen Walker Clark, age 77, passed away on May 26, 2026, due to complications following surgery.

Maureen was born on May 14, 1949, in Provo, Utah to William James Walker Jr and Erma Shakespeare. Shortly after, they moved to Ely, Nevada where she lived until graduating from White Pine High School. She was awarded a scholarship to attend BYU and graduated with a bachelor's degree in food and nutrition. During her college years, she met and fell in love with her husband Charles G. Clark (Chuck) and they married on September 2, 1971, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They started their family with the birth of Ryan Charles Clark in 1974, Rachel Clark (deceased) in 1976, and Melissa Clark Pehrson in 1978. Chuck and Maureen are also proud grandparents of four.

Maureen's interests included bowling in leagues for many years, watching baseball and basketball (especially the Utah Jazz), boating, parasailing, shopping, talking to people, and selling Avon. She enjoyed time at the family cabin riding four-wheelers and snowmobiles, moose watching, and just enjoying time outdoors with family. She loved animals, and they all loved her back. She was a family legend for her Christmas Eve parties gathering both sides of the family for one amazing night each year. This family tradition was enjoyed by all for 54 years. Most of all she loved being a Mom and Grandma. One of her strongest attributes was compassionate service to others. She was generous and often took meals or gifts to people in need.

She is survived by her husband Chuck, son Ryan (Kelly), daughter Melissa (Todd), grandchildren Clark and Annie Pehrson, Danner and Nash Clark, brother Terry (Cindy) Walker, and sisters Jeannette Fong and Marilyn May.

She is preceded in death by her father Bill, mother Erma, and daughter Rachel.

Funeral Services will be held on June 2, 2026, at 11am at the Westland 12th Ward LDS Church located at 7115 South 3200 West in West Jordan, Utah. Immediately following the services we will travel to nearby Redwood Memorial Estates, 6500 South Redwood Road, Taylorsville, Utah, for the dedication of the grave. We will then return to the church for a luncheon and celebration of life beginning at approximately 1pm. All are invited to attend to share memories of Maureen, and to greet the family.
