Elden V. Clark, 85, passed away to the arms of his Lord, October 1, 2014, surrounded by his loving wife and devoted family. He was born June 18, 1929 in Caribou, the son of Aurissa (Curtis) and Seely Clark, Sr.
Elden married his sweetheart, Shirley, December 11, 1948. They made their home in Corinth for over 60 years before moving to Bangor in 2013.

Elden worked on dairy and poultry farms and retired in 1999 after 21 years of working for the Maine Department of Transportation. He was a long time member of the Corinth Baptist Church.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Shirley, of 66 years, whom he always called his “Angel”; his one and only daughter, Elaine; sons, Elden Clark, Jr. and Kenny Clark and his wife, Gail; grandchildren, Kevin Clark, Denny Clark and wife, Nicky, Mike Clark and wife, Heather, Vicki Lingley and husband, Dwight, Kenny Clark Jr. and wife, Melissa, Julie Sudsbury and husband, Stephen, Debbie Aptt and husband, Mark; great grandchildren, Chelsey, Gracie, Libby, Josh, Kim, and Dwight; sister, Virginia Elliott; as well as several brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.
