Mary Margaret Clark

Mary Margaret Fraley Clark, 82, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 27, 2025, at the FirstHealth Hospice House.

A native of Montana, Mary was the daughter of the late Ray and Gladys Mathews Fraley. She dedicated 27 years to teaching at Centennial Elementary School in Littleton, Colorado, where she touched countless young lives.

Following her retirement, Mary made her home in the Black Hills of South Dakota, later in Longview, Texas, and eventually in Pinebluff to be closer to her daughter.  Mary was a talented quilter and enjoyed watercolor painting, crocheting, and other creative pursuits. She found joy in attending Bible studies and spending time playing games with her grandsons. Deeply compassionate, Mary also volunteered her time tutoring dyslexic children in Moore County, helping them reach their full potential as students.

Mary is survived by her beloved husband of 47 years, Arland “A.R.” Clark of Pinebluff; daughter, Holly Frank (Eric) of Pinehurst; sister, Carol Ann Fullmer of Longmont, Colorado; brother, Ray Fraley (Sandy) of Anthem, Arizona; and three amazing grandsons, Will, Wade, and Walker Frank.

A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at First Baptist Church of Pinehurst, 7373 NC-211, West End, NC 27376.
