Heather Lynn Clark

Heather Lynn Clark 12/09/1985-12/19/2024 Heather Lynn Clark was born December 9th, 1985 in Morristown, New Jersey, to Carolyn Diane Mowers (nee Baldwin) and Timothy Clark, joining her older brother, Sean, who quickly became her best friend. Heather called many places home and in recent years she had lived in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Summerville, South Carolina. While she could make home anywhere she was with her family, she primarily grew up in Syracuse NY and Pittsburgh PA. She attended school in Manlius, NY. After high school and some college, she moved to Pittsburgh, PA to be closer to her grandmother, Jane Baldwin, and maternal side of her family, the Fisk family. It was in Pittsburgh that she met Dennis Martin, who became her devoted life partner. Together, they enjoyed everything Pittsburgh-proud Yinzers-no matter what state they called home. In 2017, Heather welcomed the true love of her life into the world, Lydia Jane Martin. She lived her life in dedication to her daughter. To know and love Lydia is to know and love Heather. Heather was a kind and accepting person who always took the time to help those in need - especially children, the elderly, and animals. She had been a dedicated child care provider in the past, volunteered for meals on wheels, and had a passion for fostering animals—although many of the animals would ultimately make their forever home with her. She was raising her daughter to love all things—to treat animals, plants, and others tenderly no matter their make or creed. She was a great support and confidant to anyone who called her friend, especially to her mother and brother who were the ultimate trio—speaking daily. She had a love for art, music, poetry, coffee, tattoos, and a new found love of motorcycles that she shared with her brother and father. Heather wasn’t one to mince words and would be the first to admit she was not perfect, just like any of us, but it was her acceptance of imperfection that made her so easy to connect to and love. Ultimately, she was a wonderful person whose life was taken too soon. We find solace in the fact that she died doing something she loved while planning Christmas for her family, undoubtedly with her daughter, mother, and partner in the forefront of her mind. Heather’s life was tragically cut short by a man who was under the influence, please don’t drive impaired and ride safe. She is survived by her parents Carolyn Diane Mowers and Timothy Clark, her brother Sean Clark (Siobhan Arey and Gwendolyn Arey Clark), her grandmother Jane Baldwin, her maternal aunt and uncle Brenda and Andy Fisk (Amy, Julie, Derek, Emily-Jane, Trevor), her partner Dennis Martin and their daughter Lydia, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews, and close friends. If you wish to support the family please donate to the GoFundMe organized in the name of her daughter, Lydia. https://gofund.me/0bdcb1bf Services will be held at James A. Dyal Funeral Home, 303 South Main Street, Summerville, SC 29483, on Saturday, December 28th, 2024, at 1:00pm with a visitation prior from 12pm to 1pm. A private burial will follow.
