WILMINGTON — Katrina Lyerly Clark, our dear Mom, Grandmother and Gigi, died March 28, 2022 at Lower Cape Fear LifeCare in Wilmington, NC.
She was born June 13, 1933 in Salisbury, NC to the late Viola Fancher and John Lyerly. She was preceded in death by her husband Louie, her sister PJ Glisson and numerous sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.
Katrina was very active in Pine Valley United Methodist Church, especially the United Methodist Women, for many years. If the church doors were open, Katrina was usually there on the arm of Louie in his bright red sport coat.
She was a Bookkeeper at F. W. Woolworth’s in her earlier years and worked at the Cape Fear Christmas House later to showcase her love for Christmas decorations and collectibles. Perhaps her most beloved position was caring for her grandchildren and serving them an abundance of Cheerwine.
She is survived by her two daughters, Pam Craig (Chuck) and Lori Batson (Artie); five grandchildren, Amy Craig Reamer (Daniel), Meredith Craig Holland (Jeff); Jacki Batson, Johnny Batson and Justin Batson and three great-grandchildren, Jackson and Grayson Reamer and Sullivan Craig Holland. She is also survived by her brother-in-law Bubba Clark, sister-in-law Mary Clark, many wonderful nieces and nephews and her best friend Alice Morton.
A Celebration of her Life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, April 1, 2022, at Pine Valley United Methodist Church conducted by Rev. Dr. Tim Reaves and Rev. Barry Stallings. The service will be live-streamed at pvumc.net (click Watch Now). Also, the family requests that guests wear a mask in the sanctuary.
The family would like to thank their friends, family and fellow church members for their continued love and support during her recent illnesses.
Memorials may be made to Pine Valley United Methodist Church, 3788 Shipyard Blvd., Wilmington, NC 28403.
