On December 19, 2018 our precious beloved daughter, Ashta Nicole Clark, went home to Jesus and family. Ashta fought a long hard battle with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome along with her hernia. She suffered over half of her life and she is now at peace and pain free with Jesus forever. Ashta is our “porcelain doll” and her small fragile body couldn’t go on any longer. She fought long and hard until the very end. Although we wanted her to stay with us so bad, we had to let her go home to God.
Ashta Bashta “Puddin head” or little “Doodlebug”lived and breathed her two sons- her “sonshines” she called them. She enjoyed music with a passion. Ashta was very witty, always coming up with crazy things to say out of the blue to make you laugh. She helped everybody along her way it was so gratifying to her to help others in need. She put everybody first before herself. Ashta’s babe is Johnny Depp, her favorite color is purple. She loved Elvis and thought her youngest son was his reincarnation. Ashta is our rock star.
Ashta attended grade school at Sandstone Elementary in Billings, MT. She returned to Poplar for her Junior High through High School years. She received her G.E.D. in 2012, and then took college courses for nursing at F.P.C.C. Her dream was to become a registered nurse, but received her certificate for a certified nurses’ aide. She moved to Pocatello, Idaho where she was a nanny for her cousin, Lee Mail. She then moved to Denver, Colorado where she worked for the State of Colorado Highway Department as a flagger. She returned back to Montana and resided in Great Falls where she worked as a healthcare provider for her special niece, Felony Swan (Josie Clark) who preceded her in death. She was employed as a C.N.A. at Park Place Manor, where she genuinely loved her elderly patients. She returned to her hometown, Poplar and worked as a home health care provider for her grandmother, Marilyn Mail and also provided home health care for her mother until the very end.
She is survived by her grandmother, Marilyn Mail; grandfather, Don Moran Sr.; parents, John T. and Gwen Clark; brothers, Mick (Jenna) HalliPaige Clark, and Josh Clark; two beautiful “sonshines”, Ash Bane “BooBoo” Clark and Keshton Dane Clark; two very special sister friends, Tanya Hilliard, and Angie “Emo” Bird; uncle, Russell (Verdis), TJ, Brian Mail, Lee Marie Mail (Derrick) Red Elk of Pocatello, ID; uncle, Gordan Alan Mail; uncle, Don Jr. (Leslie) Olivia Moran; auntie, Mar (Derrick) Jacob Werner; cousins, Wendell Jr., Willy, PattiJo, Johnny David Mail; Julianna Mail and Ciam Mail of Auburn, Colorado; uncle, James (Alice) Holly, BJ, Liz, Montana, Antoinette Melbourne; auntie Linda, Tom (Bridgette) Chuck Clark; auntie, Bonnie (Vinnie) John Deacon, Stacy Gundlack of Miles City, MT, Yolanda (Dave) Harmon of Chicago, IL; auntie, JoAnn, Benny (Cassie) Clark Winnemucca, NV; ; auntie, Joyce (Russ) Ryan, Mandy, Rusti (Michelle), James Parker; uncle, William “Giggs” Clark of Miles City; uncle, Robyn, Trenton, Charles, Cruiz Clark, Krista (Michael) Creel, Cameron, NC.

Mail Lopez; family, sister Chihuahua Tootie and her Olde English Bulldog Dottie “Dots”; grandfather Charles T. Clark, Sr.; grandmother Rebecca M. Clark; uncles Charlie Clark, Jr., Tom B.

When it is our time, we will not be afraid. She will meet us and help us cross over. Until then we weep, we mourn until our reunion. She will live on in our memory, our hearts and our souls for all eternity.

Sending sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Losing someone so young is heartbreaking and I want to share a scripture of comfort with you. It is found at Psalms 55:22 where it says, “Throw your burden on Jehovah, And he will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to fall.” How reassuring to know God will be there to help you during this difficult time.
Cissy Eagleman & family says

It was so heartbreaking to hear of Ashta’s passing. In the short time that I’ve gotten to know Ashta I felt and believed that she was a loving and caring person and mother. Her boys meant the world to her and I know they will miss her dearly. God bless Ashta and her family and many condolences.
Vanessa says

Teri Ann Walker says
I see your teardrops falling, I hear you cry my name.
I know you cannot see me, but I hold you just the same.
I watch as you lie abed as restless as can be.
I hear your whispered words as you pray for dreams of me.
Every day for you is painful, each breath, each step you take,
But as the wise mom, I know a future you will make.
I envelope you in my love, as for me you used to do.
It’s hard to see you in such pain, forever the strong one’s been you.
Although our lives’ journeys have bid us to be apart,
I am with you, you are with me, always in our hearts.
For Gwen, I imagine this is what Ashta might say to you. My friend, I know nothing can ease your pain but I pray these thoughts might bring you some comfort. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family….. My deepest condolences and love and prayers.
XOXO, Teri Ann & Kenneth
