Mary Beth Clark, 62, of Powers Lake, ND, passed away peacefully surrounded by friends, on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at the Tioga Medical Center in Tioga, North Dakota after a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer.
Mary Beth was born to William and Mavis (Wilson) Roloff in Crosby, North Dakota on March 13, 1962 and was the youngest of five children. She graduated from Stanley High School in 1981.
On September 4, 1982 she married the love of her life, Alan Clark, at Our Savior’s Free Lutheran Church in Stanley, North Dakota. Together they built a life centered on faith, family, and the ranch they called home.
Mary Beth began her career as a teacher’s aide at Powers Lake Elementary, where she worked for six years before devoting her time to raising her children. When the time was right, she took on the role of office manager at North West Vet Service, where she remained a dedicated employee for 23 years.
Mary Beth’s heart was at home on the ranch. She found true joy in being outdoors, gardening, planting flowers, and caring for the many animals she loved. Her connection to nature was a central part of her life, and she took pride in nurturing both her family and land around her.
Her faith was her foundation. Mary Beth was a devoted member of Bethel Baptist Church in Powers Lake, where she regularly attended services, prepared the Sunday bulletin, and served on the social committee. She was always ready to help and serve where needed.
Mary Beth will be remembered for her deep faith, her love for the outdoors and animals, her devotion to her family, and her gentle strength. Her spirit will live on in all who knew and loved her.
Mary Beth is survived by her loving husband, Alan Clark; children, Danielle Peterson (Brandon), Jesse Clark (Keely), and Wyatt Clark (Brekka); grandchildren, Gabriel, Isabelle, Alan, Athen, Lydia, Aleah, Norah, and a grandson expected in September; siblings, Marcia Britton (Gillund), Ron Gillund (Colleen), and Kim Gillund (Pam); as well as many nieces, nephews, and cherished friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Mavis Roloff; and her sister, Peggy Pawluk.
