She was born on July 11, 1944 in Celina, Ohio, the daughter of the late Raymond and Matilda (Hoehne) Homan.

On February 11, 1964 Shirley married James "Jim" Clark who survives along with one son, Gerald "Jerry" Clark of Springboro, two grandchildren, Jeremy and Alexis Clark, and six siblings, Jeanette (Gene) Walls, Betty (Leonard) Jutte, Della Mae (Vick) Rosenbeck, Raymond (Carol) Homan, Dennis (Martha) Homan, and Linda (Preston) Boardwine.

Prior to retiring and moving to St. Marys, Mrs. Clark was the office manager for Freytag & Associates in Sidney.

Shirley had been a volunteer at the Gerard Cancer Center in Celina, OH over the past decade where she not only received treatment in the past but wished to give back using her past work experience as an office manager. In addition she was a parishioner at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in McCartyville, OH and belonged to the Moose Lodge.

Shirley loved to travel with her husband, family and grandkids. She was always the daredevil who would try new adventures such as parasailing and zip lining.
