Connie Elizabeth Clark, 61, of Luray, Virginia passed away on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 in Page County, Virginia.
A funeral service will be held on Tuesday October 18, 2022 at 11 AM at Maddox Funeral Home, 105 West Main Street, Front Royal, Virginia with Sammy Campbell officiating. Burial will follow at Panorama Memorial Gardens, Waterlick, Virginia.
Connie was born on July 31, 1961 in Warren County, Virginia to the late Lewis Francis Clark and Geneva Wines Elkins. She was also preceded in death by her two daughters, Michelle and Constance Forbus and sister, Frances Toney. Her companion of 39 years, Larry Forbus, passed alongside her.
Everyone who knew Connie would tell you she was the most kind hearted, sweetest, loving, and caring person you would ever meet. Connie worked as a stay at home mom the majority of her life. She never missed out on her children or grandchildren’s school events, extracurricular activities, or any chance to spend quality time with them. She was known to spoil her children, but she spoiled her grandchildren even more. Her children and grandchildren truly meant the world to her. Her big hugs and ability to love unconditionally will be missed by her entire family and friends, but will be especially missed by her children and grandchildren. She was a beautiful soul and is now looking over all her loved ones from heaven. Her spirit and love will live on through her children and grandchildren. She will be forever missed.
Surviving along with her mother are her daughter, Sheena Wright and her husband, Waylon; son, Larry Forbus II; God son, Tyrelle Robinson and his wife, Carrie; two sisters, Sandra Cooksey and Crystal Zeisler; brother, Lewis “Randy” Clark; five grandchildren, Peyton Wright, Haivyn Wright, Harlow Wright, Landyn Forbus and Kaizlee Forbus and God grandson, Quinlan Robinson.
The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home.
Connie I love you with all my heart and will be there for Sheena and her kids
Love Jennifer
God bless the family left behind.
prayers and hugs to all of you
Connie I’m lost for words and my heart is broken.You where taken way to soon. A sister can’t be replaced. I will always have the memories of us making mud pies and playing with our dolls along with the memory of playing and shooting Randy with a BB gun. You will never be forgotten. I love you with my heart and soul..I’ll never forget the sound of your voice when you would say “I love you”
A niece gone too soon, may she Rest In Peace. Love you Connie.💕💕💕
Mommy💞 First I wanna say I love you and miss you beyond belief. I wanted to be the first to post but it’s okay. YOU KNOW I love and miss you more then anything. And you know what I’m going thru and I’m doing my best to get things done and it’s not for you only but Dad I have to think about what both of you would want. I just had this obituary redid as I wanted everyone to see these wonderful things enjoy you and for those that can’t be at the funeral to see this and
will know how amazing you were… with everyone already did truly!. I don’t know how to go on without my mom…. your my first BFF and still were. You loved so unconditional to a fault and were to easy to forgive people I even think..m but then again that shows even more that you just loved so much without any conditions. Truly unconditional love. I miss you more then words can even say. We have so many memories and even the last 6 months we talked so much more even on the phone AND up until mid July we were spending so much more time getting together even and I was looking forward to September bc it was Harlows birthday , then October was when I wanted to have family over for a Halloween party like we did years ago and you knew I had started buying end gathering decorations… then their was my birthday which is JUST a lil over 2 weeks away.. the 30th…day before Halloween which you always made sure (and Dad) that I had a cake and decorations set up and if not at the house some years we would be out eating with cake and presents. it didn’t matter how old I was you all still did that. My birthday is going to be so hard without you! AND then following is Halloween and you were going to be going with us bc 2 of your grandkids of mine are still small and WANT to go trick or treating and love that you all will walk miles with us to go door to door♥️ And in the same neighborhoods you all took us as kids growing up too. Then theirs Thanksgiving and Xmas. it’s going to be rough ALWAYS without you , but especially the first everything without you and Dad. Bc we WERE the family. JUST your kids and grandkids overall celebrating together in the actual day of class , Easter etc. BUT it felt like we had hundreds there the way you all had so many gifts for everyone…. but definitely the most for the grandkids! I’ll miss the smell of your Jevon musk that you wore your whole life and got as a gift from me for at least one holiday every year since I started working at 14 lol. I’ll miss how you would sit and listen for hours about everything and always make me feel better. And I’d try to do the same and make you laugh as much as I coul ld she Ironhide you you were gonna be okay she live a long life bc you always felt sick it seemed at times. And never got answers…. but thought somehow still you were okay she be around for a long time. . You were always talking to your grandkids and telling them how much grandma loved them. I don’t feel it’s real and honestly feel it isn’t still bc it’s SUCH a shock to know you both are gone forever from this earth. I miss you mom so bad. I told you just recently how much I loved you and LOVED we were coming over having cookouts and laughing for hours together. It’s like God knew we needed extra time together. You will forever be my angel and the most beautiful one inside and out at that. I love you Mommy always and forever 💞 Love your Sheena Rae 💞
Connie I’ve never thought God would take sweet daughter before he took me . I will always remember a lot of our good memories together. I can’t put into words what I want to say because it hurts too much . I love you with all my heart.Connie I will always love you and I will always miss you. Love you sweetie, your mom
Mom I miss you I miss everything about you! your voice just you! it mesmerized me, the unavailing of ppl who wanna act like they cared about our family but don’t I love you more than anything mom
