Barbara Jean "Barbie" Clark

Barbara "Barbie" Clark, 75, of Casper, Wyoming, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Barb leaves behind a legacy of faith, kindness, and selfless love that will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Barb was born on April 23, 1951, in Sterling, Colorado, to Dale and Lurene McCoy. From an early age, she possessed a joyful spirit, a compassionate heart, and a deep love for others. On December 27, 1972, she married the love of her life, Jim Clark. Together they built a beautiful life centered on faith and family raising four children: Zach (Jen), Josh (Kasey), Jacy (Craig), and Barbara Jean "BJ".

Nothing brought Barb greater joy than spending time with her family. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to seven grandchildren: Emerald, Elsa, Eagan, Eisley, Trew, Bode, and Finley Jae. She treasured every moment with them and took pride in their accomplishments. Whether cheering from the stands at basketball, baseball, softball, or volleyball games, attending school programs, or simply sharing everyday moments, Barb's unwavering love and support were constants in their lives.

While raising her children, Barb also dedicated more than twenty years to serving students through the Natrona County School District. She worked closely with students with disabilities and those who were visually impaired, providing encouragement, patience, and compassionate care. Her work reflected her natural ability to see the value in every person, and she made a lasting difference in the lives of countless students and families.

Barb embraced life with enthusiasm and gratitude. She loved dancing, playing pickleball, and treasured opportunities to gather with family and friends. She never met a stranger and had a remarkable gift for making others feel welcomed and loved. Her warm smile could brighten any room and bring joy to those around her.

A devoted Christian, Barb lived her faith every day. She sought to love others as Christ taught, often placing the needs of others before her own. Her life was marked by grace, humility, patience, and service. She was loving and selfless yet had just enough spice to keep everyone smiling. Those who knew her best will remember her steadfast faith, kind heart, and genuine interest in others.

Barb was preceded in death by her parents, Dale and Lurene McCoy; her brothers, Dale McCoy and Patrick McCoy; and her sister, Jolene McCoy.

Though her family grieves the loss of Barbie, they find peace knowing she is now in the presence of her Savior. The love she shared, the faith she lived out each day, and the many lives she touched will be cherished always.

A Catholic Mass will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Casper, Wyoming, with a reception immediately following. A private family internment will take place at Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery. In honor of Barb's vibrant spirit, guests are encouraged to wear bright colors.
