Rebecca was born Oct. 3, 1929, in Eli, Texas to Grover and Mame Dennis Moss. She attended Eli schools and graduated from Memphis High School. She often recalled attending the tabernacle in Eli, Texas and being baptized in a pond north of Eli, where the cattle were kept away so the water would be clean.
Rebecca attended Durham’s Business College and was employed at Duncan Company Wholesale Auto Supply in Fort Worth, Texas. She married Robert Lee Clark, of Lakeview, Texas, on March 26, 1948, in Fort Worth. They resided in the Eli community many years before moving to Memphis. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Memphis.
Rebecca was known as Becky by many. She enjoyed being active with family, friends and the quilting club and participating in her children’s activities. Rebecca worked tirelessly canning vegetables, making pickles and processing chickens for the freezer, and she hauled many loads of cotton to the gin.
A new challenge of wallpapering, refinishing furniture or installing wall paneling was an easy task for her. She enjoyed fishing and camping trips, reading and collecting rocks. She was a wonderful seamstress, making both of her daughters a new wardrobe twice each year, as well as dresses for proms. Later, she made blankets and clothes for grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Lee Clark; son Daniel Lee Clark; infant grandson Jerry Michael Havins; brothers William, Robert, Ben and James; and sister Lois Taylor.
Rebecca is survived by her son, Gaylon Clark and wife Connie, of Lockney, Texas; daughter Holly Taylor and husband Floyd, of Memphis; daughter Susan Havins and husband Jerry, of Fort Worth; her grandchildren, Keith and Lori Clark, of Granbury, Texas, Teresa and Paul Wolgamott, of Fort Worth, Angela and Brian Taylor, of Flower Mound, Texas, and Janice and Jason Hise, of Keller, Texas; and 11 great-grandchildren.
