VIRGIL ""PLUCK"" MONROE CLARK's Obituary
Obituary of Virgil Monroe Clark ""Pluck"" Virgil Monroe Clark, known to so many by his nickname as ""Pluck"" more than his given name passed away gently surrounded by his loving family, on Valentine's Day, 2015 with his loving wife of 47 years, Mayola at his side. Virgil was a tireless worker, who most of his life worked two jobs. He was currently employed at Watson Funeral Home where he served 52 years. He also previously worked for 21 years at Townsends as a Supervisor, and also retired from the Indian River School District while at the same time kept working for the funeral home. When something needed to be done, he just did it. He was a master of socializing, loved entertaining, and loved to cook. He cultivated thousands of friendships through the funeral home, and if something was going on, he knew from his contacts what it was, and what needed to be done. He was very much loved, and will be deeply missed. He is survived by his wife, Mayola Allen Clark, and his father, Albert Clark, of Salisbury, MD. His mother Cornelia passed away in 2013. He is also survived by his daughter: Victoria Mayola Clark, of Millsboro, DE and siblings: Vaughn Jarmon; Victoria Smith (Robert); Valerie Short (David); and Mary Bunch. A brother, Vernear Clark preceded Pluck, in 1979. Pluck is also survived by his beloved and treasured grandson: VaShawn Clark.
