In loving memory of Willetta Lourine Clark Tindall
October 29, 1929 – November 21, 2024

Willetta passed away on Nov. 21, 2024 at the age of 95. She was born to the late William Leroy Clark and Ella Marie Felton Clark on October 29, 1929 in Corvallis, Oregon. She was preceded in death by her brother William Felton Clark of Tacoma, Washington, and her husband Warren E. Tindall of Bayside.

Willetta attended Fair Play Grammar School and Corvallis High School in Corvallis, Oregon. She worked in a local soda fountain before marrying her late husband, Warren E. Tindall. They were married on August 31, 1947 in Corvallis. They enjoyed 77 years of marriage. She is survived by her children, Janice Marie Tindall Murphy of Ryderwood, Wash., Dyanna Christine Tindall Gazzera of Redding, and Debra Kathleen Tindall Jones of Bayside, along with eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Although Willetta described herself as a loving wife, mother and homemaker she was also an active volunteer in her community. She volunteered at the Sunny Brae Congregational Church typing and printing newsletters and program guides, and at Jacoby Creek Elementary School library in the 1970s and at the Congregational Church in Eureka in the 1980s. Her many hobbies included photography, painting, needle work, knitting, gardening, caring for the wildlife in her backyard sanctuary along the banks of Jacoby Creek in Bayside. Her pet cockatiels and parakeets were her special delight. She had numerous pen pal friends from all over the world and shared her art cards and letters with many who will cherish her memory.

The petals of her life fell one by one, each a gift of her heart till there were none. Her favorite hymns were: Morning Has Broken, God Be With You Till We Meet Again, In the Garden, It Is Well With My Soul, For the Beauty of the Earth, I need Thee Every Hour and We Gather Together. She was a member of the Congregational Church in Sunny Brae and Eureka, California.

“Remember me when flowers bloom early in the spring.
Remember me on sunny days in the fun that summer brings.
Remember me in autumn as you walk through leaves of gold.
Remember me in winter when all is icy cold.

Sanders Funeral Home is handling the arrangements and she will be buried next to her husband at Ocean View Cemetery.
