Reah Neville Clark of Rigby, Idaho, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother passed away at the age of 85 on August 25, 2024.

Reah was born on December 13, 1938 to Regina Archibald Neville and Thomas Cloyd Neville. She and her twin sister, Ruth, were born at home in Rexburg, Idaho and welcomed by sisters, Regina, Catherine, Bonnie, and Ann.

Growing up during the depression, they didn’t have very much money, but she and her five sisters had a lot of good times. They worked and played hard. She and Ruth were inseparable and their older sisters loved tending them.

Reah was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on March 22, 1947. She attended schools in Rexburg where she met her childhood sweetheart, Charles Jay Clark. They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on February 20, 1957 and she graduated from Madison High School in May of that same year. They were blessed to raise their family in Rigby, Idaho and all of their grandchildren graduated from Rigby High School. Reah was active in the community and served faithfully in every organization of the church. She supported her husband, Jay, in all of his callings. She loved the Savior and was willing to sacrifice for him.

They were blessed with four children, Cheri Lin (Jerald) Raymond, William Jay (Katrina) Clark, Rodney Blake (Kathy) Clark, and Catrina (Greg) Marley. They had 17 grandchildren and 51 great-grandchildren. She loved her grandkids and great grandkids and would do anything for them.

She has always had a love of cooking, baking, and feeding people. Friends and family have always been important to her, and they brought her a lot of happiness.

She is survived by her four children, three in-laws, 17 grandchildren and 51 great grandchildren, three sisters, Bonnie Munns, Ann Marshall, Ruth Munns (Keith), Betty Clark (sister-in-law), and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Jay Clark, two sisters, Regina Beebe and Catherine Jolley, many sisters- in-law and brothers-in-law and son-in-law Greg Marley.

Our family would like to express thanks to the staff at Homestead Assisted Living and Hospice for the kind, gentle and compassionate care they showed her and all of us.

Her life was a blessing. She will be loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Funeral services will be held at the Rigby Stake Center (285 W 1st N, Rigby, Idaho) on Saturday August 31, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. There will be a visitation prior to the funeral from 10:00-10:50 a.m. Interment will follow the services at the Annis Little Butte Cemetery.
