Obituary of Dorsey E. Clark

Dorsey E. Clark, 91, husband of Vicky M. Clark, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, July 21, 2023. He was born in Woodford County, Kentucky to the late Henry and Ruth Wise Clark on June 23, 1932.

He was also a member of Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church, Landmark Lodge #41 F&M, and a veteran of the United States Air Force having served in the Korean War. From the young age of 14, Dorsey knew he wanted to serve others in their time of grief when he began working for D.R. Duell.  He continued serving families and meeting the needs of others until 2009.  Known for his love of fishing, boating, cooking for others and always sharing a funny joke or story, he loved life and never took it for granted.
