Ms. Andrea Sharnese Clark

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." II Timothy 4: 7-8

Andrea Sharnese Clark was born on May 3, 1985, to Earnest Edward Clark and Darlene Clark in Longview, Texas. Andrea departed this life on Tuesday, March 21, 2023.

Andrea attended Fellowship Church of God in Christ, Pastor James F. Horton, throughout her childhood and actively participated in Sunday School. Andrea continued her personal relationship with God as an adult.

Andrea received her formal education in the Longview Public School system. Andrea attended Tyler Junior College on a full band scholarship playing the trombone.

Andrea liked to be called Drea. Drea loved crafting, drawing, all things sparkly, and especially Hello Kitty, and making things for people. She enjoyed bad movie marathons with her sister, hugging her nephew and watching him tear up things. Drea had special nicknames for people she cared about. She called her sister BunnyBear because she sleeps in a ball like a rabbit and snores like a bear. Patrick, her nephew Yoshi, and his dad Bowser. Mama is the Queen because her answers to all things are so diplomatic. Drea was shy around large crowds, but if you had that special something to make her laugh, it was a magical sound. LaTasha wants us to know "Drea was a beautiful, complicated, sweet, funny, and kindhearted soul and I will love her and miss her as long as I live."

Andrea is preceded in death by her father, Earnest Edward Clark, paternal grandparents, J. T. and Lottie Mae Clark, two aunts, Jo Ann Ford and Rosie Simmons, two uncles J.W. Clark and Neotis Roberson Jr. She leaves to cherish her memories, her mother, Darlene Roberson Clark of Douglassville, Texas, sister LaTasha R. Clark and nephew Patrick Edward Page of Longview, Texas. Her maternal grandparents, Neotis and Hiawatha Buford Roberson, and large extended families of Clarks and Robersons.
