IRIS LOUISE COLE RICHEY CLARK, 91, on September 17, 2012, of Chestnut Hill. Beloved wife of the late Senator Joseph S. Clark, whom she married in 1967, after meeting him on the campaign trail of Genevieve Blatt in 1964. The two shared many interests, not least of which was an affinity for the political life at this important time in history.
Mrs. Clark was born in Indiana, and moved to Pennsylvania as a young woman.
She loved the great outdoors. She loved to sing, to entertain and to be with her children, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was passionately devoted to the memory of her husband as a straight-forward and ethical political figure, and endowed the Chair at Harvard titled the Senator Joseph S. Clark Chair in Ethics in Politics and Government. For many years, she edited and improved the official handbook of Pennsylvania Commonwealth Government called The Pennsylvania Manual.
She and Senator Clark surrounded themselves with friends and intellectual pursuits at their houses at Chestnut Hill and at Moose, Wyoming, as well as at Avery Island, Louisiana.
Mrs. Clark was predeceased by her son, Kirk Richey, and her stepson, Joseph S. Clark III...
