Jeannie was born and raised in San Antonio and spent many years traveling with her parents, as her dad served active duty as a pilot in the United States Air Force.

Her family eventually settled in Schertz, Texas where she attended Samuel Clemens High School and was an active member of the dance team. Her extracurricular activities prepared her well for her role as a cheerleader for the San Antonio Charros football team during their inaugural season.

She married Donald Ray Clark on Oct. 4, 1980, who remained her dedicated and loyal husband for the next 44 years. Together they raised four children before settling into their dream home in Boerne, Texas.

Jeannie had a passion for cultivating cacti and succulents, procuring vintage dolls, perfumes, and other collectibles, as well as a love for animals both furry and feathered.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Donald Clark; two sons, Jason Bartlett and John (Brooke) Clark; two daughters, Stephanie Whitenack and Ashley Clark; six grandchildren, Reagan Whitenack, Kennedy Whitenack, Caitlin Whitenack, Marley Clark, Wesley Clark and Weston Clark; one brother, Donald “Donny” (Jacqueline) Lerche; two sisters, Barbara (Rick) Matthews and Holly (Robby) Mahler; a brother-in-law, David (LaNell) Clark; two sisters-in-law, Sharon (Edward) Dean and Susan (Marty) Fowler; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
