BARBARA HEALY CLARK

On Friday, April 19, 2024, Maine and the world lost one of its finest flowers. Barb, who was called Bobbie by everyone except her husband, was born on September 29, 1936, in Detroit, Michigan to Dorothy (Wagner) and D. J. Healy III. She was predeceased by her oldest daughter, Sherrill; her sisters Janet and Kathy; and her brother Danny. She is survived by her sister Joan; her daughters, Kerrin Pulis, of Los Angeles; Melissa Connolly, of Sherborn, MA; her  sons Kevin, of Naples, FL, and Andrew, of Clayton, NC; ten grandchildren, of whom she was inordinately proud; and two adorable great-granddaughters. In Massachusetts, she was an employee of Digital Equipment Corporation, and lived in Sudbury. In Maine, she lived in Gray, where she was an active member of the Not Your Mother’s Garden Club and a volunteer gardener and attendant in the Snack Shack for the Friends of the Maine Wildlife Park. She is also survived, barely, by her husband whom she put  up with for 69 years, Ray. She leaves behind her a garden of friends… We’ll have a celebration of her life soon, and we’ll let you know.

Instead of funeral flowers, please help a child plant a pretty flower. Or send a donation to Garden in the Woods, Framingham, MA or the Friends of the Maine Wildlife Park, Gray, ME. (Google the addresses. I’m too sad.)
