Calvin Clark was born in Fola, WV and moved with the family to Glenville, WV in 1957. After graduating from Sand Fork High School, Class of 63, Calvin Clark moved to Charleston where he began a career in the banking industry for 35 years, until he retired in 2004. In his free time, Calvin Clark enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, gardening, hunting, fishing and was quite the cook and baker. We will greatly miss his Saturday morning big breakfast, Sunday fried chicken, and peaches and cream pie. Calvin was a faithful member of St. Andrew United Methodist Church and was the official biscuit maker for the United Methodist Men.

Do to the pandemic, the family has decided to hold a private graveside service with Pastor Jonathan Dierdorff officiating.

We invite you to a celebration of Calvin Clark’s life to be held on Saturday May 16 at St. Andrew United Methodist Church, St. Albans WV funeral service to begin at 1pm, followed by a gathering of friends and family to break bread and share memories.
