Patricia Sue Clark passed away at home with family on December 31, 2020, after a courageous battle with lung disease. She was just two days shy of her 84th birthday. Patricia was born January 2, 1937 to Johney and Dalomi Harden of Tulsa, OK. Patricia graduated from Rogers High School in Tulsa, OK in 1955.
Patricia was a beloved mother, sister, daughter, aunt and friend. Her loss is felt profoundly. Patricia was an owner in the family restaurant business, Harden's Fried Chicken, for many years but the job she valued most was being a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her children were the center of her universe. Patricia worked tirelessly to ensure their lives were filled with joy, love, peace, and respect. Family, including her large extended one, was paramount in her life. Patricia was kind, generous, and grateful. Many relied on her as a good listener and someone who would always bring them comfort and an offer of support. Patricia is at peace now, resting in the arms of our Lord in heaven.
Patricia is survived by three of her four daughters: Katisha Beaman (Brad) of Broken Arrow, OK; Shala Johnson (Frank) of Cookson, OK; and Stephanie Clark (Kelly James) of Boulder, CO. She is also survived by her sister, Joquetta Endsley of Tulsa; her sister Charlene Stevens of Spokane, WA; and her brother Gordon Harden of Tulsa. Patricia was preceded in death by her parents and her daughter, Latisha Kay Alfano. Patricia also leaves behind six grandchildren: Casey Hanoch (Jennifer) of Prosper, TX; Jacob Wise of Bixby, OK; Jason Hanoch (Chelsea) of Broken Arrow, OK; and Andy, Grady and Bailey Clark of Boulder, CO; as well as five great-grandchildren: Emmit Wise, Hudson Hanoch, Carter Wise, Cash Hanoch and Hendrix Hanoch.
Memorial services are pending.
