JOSEPH'S CEMETERY GERMANTOWN ROAD WEST MILFORD, NJ 07480 Maryanne Clark, 71 years, of Southport, North Carolina, formerly of the Oak Ridge section of West Milford, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2023, after a brief illness surrounded by family. She was born May 7, 1951 in the Bronx, New York to the late Emma (nee Brown) and Howard Peck. To say that Maryanne was tough as nails would be an understatement. Widowed while her sons were teenagers, Maryanne raised two fine men, one becoming a police officer and the other a pastor. She worked in purchasing at McBride and Company and Midwest Mechanical Contractors. As a woman working in the male-dominated plumbing and HVAC fields, she proved to be more than equal. Her tough side was always balanced by her devoted love and care for her family. She was a woman who would go out of her way to make sure everyone was provided for and even had family members live with her when they were in need. For most of her adult life, Maryanne lived in West Milford where she built an intimate community of friends and neighbors who supported each other. One of her more unique pursuits was creating beautiful stained glass pieces. In recent years she moved to Southport, where she enjoyed the company of friends, particularly her sister Barbara and her regular card-playing ladies. Her favorite pastime was sitting at the beach enjoying the ocean breezes. Her grandchildren will miss her cooking, playing Uno, painting nails, and worrying their grandmother with their wild bike riding tricks. Maryanne was predeceased by her husband, David John Clark (1995) and son Nicholas Clark (2022). She is survived by her son Kevin Clark and his wife Karen; her siblings Barbara Heinl, Joan Rini, James Peck, and Madeline Humphrey; her daughter-in-law Katherine Clark; and her seven grandchildren Natalie, Nathan, Nolan, Noah, Amelia, David, and Gideon, whom she adored. A funeral service will take place on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 1pm at the Green Pond Bible Chapel, 1083 Green Pond Road, Newfoundland, NJ 07435 followed by a repast gathering from 2pm to 3:30pm at the church. The interment will follow at St. Joseph’s Cemetery on Germantown Road in West Milford, New Jersey 07480. In lieu of flowers, please donate in Maryanne’s name to your favorite charity.
