Darselia A. Clark Obituary (1957 - 2021)

MAYODAN - Darselia Antonette Clark, 63, died on Friday, January 1, 2021 at Moses Cone Hospital. The family will hold a private service at Colonial Funeral Home. Darselia Antonette Clark, also lovingly known to her family and friends by her nickname, Chela, was an astounding woman and a beautiful human being. She originally hails from Panama, but lived the rest of her life in the U.S.A. Her love towards others was no less than majestic. Even if she was in your life for only a moment, Chela left an immediate and definite impression in your life. Her heart and generosity for people was as big as the day. Her personality was bigger than the universe could hold. Chela was a woman of God, so the light and love of the Holy Spirit could be seen through her smile and felt in her presence. Chela also loved to sing and dance. She always had music playing in the house, and she could dance for hours. She was a lover of all genres of music, but Spanish music was her favorite. To know my mother was to love her and she was loved by many and had love for all. Chela was preceded in death by her son, Darnell Duncan, her father, Eckburn Barrows and her mother Violeta Blackman. Chela is survived by her husband, Emery Clark, her biological daughter, Danette Rodriguez, and her biological son, Denzel Duncan. Chela was also blessed with 3 bonus children from her marriage, Mark Clark, Nisha Clark and Corey Clark. She also leaves behind four beautiful grandbabies, Deanna, Laila, Ellein and Kairi, whom she adored and whom in turn, adored her. She is also survived by her 4 older sisters Ruth Erinna, Xenia Reed, Maria McKay-Hudson, Laura Bryant and her one older brother, Amadeus Erinna, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Colonial Funeral Home in Madison is serving the family. Condolences may be offered at www.colonialfh.net.
