Eleanor Irene Walden-Clark went Home to be with Jesus early Christmas morning. She lived in Suffolk, VA, but was a long time resident of Portsmouth, VA where she was born July 24,1935. Eleanor loved the Lord and shared her Faith with many. She had a kind loving heart and loved to make others laugh.
Eleanor is survived by her children: Suzanne Deleon and Valerie Clark of Suffolk, VA, Jeffrey A. Clark of Virginia Beach, VA, and Stephanie J. Clark-Poore of Lebanon, IN; grandchildren: Sara Deleon Robertson, Kristianna Clark, Will Cutchins, Cecely Clark, Richard Pallette III, and Adam and Casey Miller; great-grandchildren: Kaylee Robertson, Joey Pope and Lucy Miller; sisters: Sandra Walsh and Eileen Glynn.
She is predeceased by her mother, Elsie Mae Walden; her brother, Dick Walden; and her daughter, Donna E. Miller.
A special thank you to adopted daughter, Surrita Pierce, who loved and took care of Eleanor until the very end.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Clark Compound at a yet to be determined date.
Between Eleanor being ill for several months and the many losses the family has suffered in the past year, has left them financially depleted.

May God bless you during this holiday season. To help the family and make a donation CLICK HERE
I believe that I met Aunt Eleanor back in the early 1950(s) during her marriage to my Uncle Donald. Life happens, not as we all wish; it is in God’s hands. Yet it is bittersweet that Eleanor’s passing has re-connected a limb of the family tree. Let us all reach out and keep in touch with each other. May you find comfort and peace for we are all blessed in the name of our Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
