Obituary for Willie B. Clark
Willie B. Clark was born on June 27, 1951, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, to the late Hosie and Ethel Allen. Saturday afternoon, God saw the load was getting heavy and the hills were getting harder to climb. He gently whispered, “Peace be thine.” Life’s curtains closed for Willie B on Saturday, May 31, 2014, at her home in Memphis, Tennessee. She has left a void in our lives that will never be filled. Willie B acknowledged Christ at a very young age at Humble Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, under the leadership of Reverend E. T. Smith. She later relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, and in 2009 joined Resurrection Community Church of God under the leadership of Pastor Iric Headley where she served as Usher and led various solos within the ministry.
