Elizabeth Ann Galloway
Clark
January 22, 2015
Elizabeth Ann Galloway Clark, age 64, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Thursday, January 22, 2015 after a long battle of lung disease. Liz was born on October 15, 1950, to Fern Kunz and Richard Irvine Galloway in Montpellier, ID, the fifth of eight children. She attended a one-room school house in Bern, ID and graduated from Montpelier High School with honors.
She moved to Salt Lake City where she met Weldon Clark. They eloped to Elko, NV on June 8, 1970 when she was 19. Willie and Liz moved to Star Valley, WY where they remodeled the house in Freedom in which they would spend the next 44 years. Liz worked as a ground hostess for Frontier Airlines in Jackson, WY until their first daughter, Teri, was born in 1977. Their second daughter, Tomi, followed in 1979.
A hard worker, Liz was always finding ingenious ways to make money. She sold Fuller Brush cleaning products, started her own ice company and made genuine Wyoming Turd Bird souvenirs with her dear friend, Joyce Rainey. In 1982, she went to work for the Alpine Port of Entry where she enjoyed friendships with co-workers and loved bantering with the drivers. She was promoted to supervisor, and served 27 years until retirement in 2010.
Active in her church, Liz served as a Sunday school teacher and in the Relief Society. But her favorite calling was teaching the three-year olds!
Family was Liz's greatest joy! She was a loving wife and her daughters' biggest cheerleader. She was a spunky, fun grandma, and loved every minute she spent traveling with her "Galloway Girls".
Liz is preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Fern Galloway. She is survived by her husband, Weldon Clark; daughters, Teri (Kelly) Lund and Tomi (Jonathan) Crane; brothers, Richard (Myrna), Robert (Donna), Ralph (Elaine), Ronald (JoAnn), and Rodney; sisters Karla (Richard) Webb and Arline (Dana) Devlin; 6 grandchildren; stepchildren, Sandy Peavler, Cheryl (Dave) Bryngleson, Doug (Lonnie) Clark; 7 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at 12:00 p.m. at Schwab Funeral Chapel with a viewing beginning at 10:30 a.m. Internment will take place at the Freedom Cemetery.
