Eileen Annamarie Amodeo Clark

Eileen Annamarie Amodeo Clark July 26, 1925-January 4, 2021 Eileen Annamarie Amodeo Clark, 95, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2021, with her daughter Kimberlee by her side, as well as her longtime caregiver Tess Turner, and comforted by the enduring love of many other cherished family members who had visited her just the day before. Born in 1925 in St. Paul, MN to Rosario and Rose Amodeo, Eileen lost her mother when she was 7, leaving her father to raise 7 children, ranging in age from 12 to 2. The family moved to Vallejo, CA in 1945, arriving on VJ Day, and Eileen never forgot when she and her sisters “took a jitney downtown” to join in the celebration with the mobs of sailors from Mare Island! Eileen worked as a secretary at Montgomery Ward in St. Paul, at Vallejo Light and Power Co., and at Travis AFB, where she met her husband-to-be, Warren Clark, a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne during the war. Marrying in 1949, Eileen became a housewife and mother to their three children, forever making lunches, ironing school uniforms, and driving them and their friends to field trips, games, and dances. In later years she worked for the Vallejo City Unified School District as a much-loved teacher’s assistant. Eileen was preceded in death by her precious daughter Lorraine Clark in 1979, her devoted husband Warren in 2000, and five beloved siblings, Phyllis, Chuck, Donald, Vincent, and Rosemary. She is survived by her treasured children, Gregory (Cathy) Clark of Vallejo and Kimberlee Clark-Loder of Pacifica; grandchildren Julie Loder and David (Mai) Loder, Michael (Tina) Clark and Jennifer Clark; great-grandchildren Rylee Clark and Madison Loder; her dear sister, Sr. M. Lorraine Amodeo, O.P. of San Rafael; and numerous nieces and nephews. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Tess Turner for her expert and loving care. Contributions may be made to the following: Lori Clark Scholarship Fund at SPSV High School; Warren Clark Scholarship Fund at St. Vincent Ferrer Elementary School; or St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Vincent Ferrer Parish. Services will be announced at a later date. Cremation and arrangements entrusted to the direction and care of Twin Chapels Mortuary, Vallejo (707) 552-6696. www.TwinChapelsMortuary.com
