Obituary for
Carla Clarke (Parker)
It is with great sadness we must announce the passing of Carla Maureen Clarke (Parker) on April 6th, 2023, peacefully at home.
Born March 27th, 1965, to Kay and Lester Parker, Carla was a determined, serious kid with a strong competitive streak. She was a graduate of the East Hants Regional High School Class of ‘83 and went on to Thunder Bay graduating from Confederation College as an interior designer. An excellent student, artist and athlete, Carla spent most of her childhood playing on the farm with her siblings, Leslie and Lori, drawing and coloring at the kitchen table, even when Kay begged her to go outside, but most of all in her favorite place, the chalk circle on the ballfield. This is where she truly shined as an athlete with multiple championship wins and a trip to the 1985 Canada Games. Softball was a lifelong love. Her time on the field led to so many friendships that she cherished and memories that she looked back on with pride and joy.
Softball also introduced her perfect match, David. She would always say he was so shy when he was coaching her team, but after a few attempts, the pair finally made it official and built a beautiful life together. Together they continued their love of sports, ball and curling, and passed down their love of the game and talent to their two daughters, Taylor and Madison.
The ultimate sports mom, Carla never missed a game, practice or big moment in her girls’ lives. She motivated and guided them through summers on the field and winters in the curling club and hockey rink. Softball continued to be a passion as she helped Dave coach multiple teams to provincial championships, each team and player holding a special place in her heart.
While sports were her passion, Carla did it all. Dedicated to education, she was always involved with the girls’ school, volunteering her time, helping with homework and instilling in them, a strong work ethic.
Though her time with us was too short, she made the best of it. She mastered every title: daughter, sister, athlete, wife, mother, coach and friend. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her. She is survived by her husband, David Clarke; daughters, Taylor Clarke and Madison Baker; son-in-law, Cole Baker; parents, Lester and Kay Parker and siblings, Leslie (Linda) Parker, Lori Higgins and husband, Todd Higgins and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Dr. Donald Rowe and his Oncology team as well as the Palliative care team for their outstanding care. They would also like to thank the many friends who supported both Carla and the family through this trying time. In particular, we would like to personally thank Allyson Burgess and her family as well as Cathy Butler and Fay Wambolt for going above and beyond in their care and ongoing support.
Donations in Carla’s memory may be made to the CEHHC Foundation – Dr. Donald Rowe’s Oncology Department (link to follow).
A celebration of life will be held on April 16th from 1:00pm-4:00pm in the Truro Curling Club, 56 Young St., Truro, NS. Words of comfort to be said by Larry Harrison at 1:30pm. All are welcome.
