Mary Louise Klark, age 72, of Tionesta, PA, formerly of Warren, PA, passed away on Monday, December 29, 2025, at the Rouse Home in Youngsville, PA. She was born June 15, 1953, in Warren, daughter of the late Chester J. and Mary M. (More) Klark.
She co-owned Vee Sales of Tionesta, a company that was designed for the betterment of Veterans and small manufacturing businesses. She retired from Vee Sales but also drove vans for Forest County Transportation, was a part-time aid at the Intermediate Unit #6 of Clarion and was fortunate to become the loving caregiver to her mom until her passing in 2021.
Louise was also a lover of birds and especially enjoyed her hummingbirds. She loved flower gardening, being with her family and friends…but more over she was ruthless at a game of Canasta and was always up for anyone who wanted to challenge her at the game.
Surviving are two sons, William L. “Bill” Gray and his wife Wendy of Titusville, PA; Stephen P “Steve” Gray and his wife Katy of Riverton, Wyoming. A daughter, Jessica L. Beach and her husband Travis of Pleasantville, PA. Three grandsons, Austin M. Gray of Grove City, PA; Trenton D. Beach of Pleasantville; Ty D. Beach, also of Pleasantville. Two granddaughters, Tierra C. Jesson of Warren, and Allyssa L. Gray of Sheffield, PA. Three brothers, Theodore “Ted” Klark and his wife Darla of Dubois, PA; James “Jim” Klark and his wife Cindy of Warren; Christopher “Chris” Klark, also of Warren, as well as one sister, Susan Klark of Warren. She is also survived by seven great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Two sisters-in-law, Nancy L. Hill of Leeper, PA; Judy Greyber and her husband Kim of Jamestown, NY. Also surviving is Marcia Johnson of Russell, PA, her lifetime best friend who was there all through Louise’s life journey, even up to her last days.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her longtime companion, Sidney L. “Sid” Lehman on April 24, 2020.
