Virginia "Cissi" Clark

Virginia Louise Clark ,also know as Cissi and V, 64, of Lake County, Ohio, passed away on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 after a brief illness. She was born on July 22, 1961, in Painesville, Ohio, and lived a life marked by warmth, adventure, service, and an unwavering love for those around her.

Virginia was fun-loving, spirited, fashionable and outgoing—the undeniable life of the party. Her laughter filled rooms, and her presence made people feel instantly at ease. She had a gift for connecting with others and a heart that seemed to have no limits.

She was deeply proud of her service in the United States Air Force, where she served from 1983 to 1986. During her military career, Virginia had the opportunity to travel the world, including time spent in England and Japan—experiences she treasured. Her time in the Air Force shaped her independence, confidence, and enduring sense of pride in serving her country.

Virginia later earned a degree from the University of Maryland, majoring in psychology with a minor in business. She put her education and compassion to meaningful use throughout a varied and fulfilling career. She served Lake County for several years as a social worker, dedicating herself to helping others during some of their most difficult moments. When her heart called her in a new direction, she transitioned into a career in banking, where she continued to build relationships and support her community.

Above all else, Virginia loved her family, her friends, and her beloved kitties. She had an especially big heart for animals, offering kindness and care whenever she could. Her home—and her life—were always open to those she loved.

Virginia is survived by her brothers, Scott Clark and his wife Jane, and John Clark and his wife Marcy; her sister, Dawn Goss, and her husband Greg; her nieces, Melissa, Amanda, Emily, Martha, Carmen, Parker, Eden, Ava and Rosie and her nephews, Cody, Seth, Reese, Carson, Colson and JoJo.

She was a loving sister, aunt, and friend. Her family and friends will forever cherish the memories they shared with her.

She was preceded in death by her life partner Wes Mulholland, her parents, Reese and Vivian Clark; her paternal grandparents, Harry and Louise Clark, and maternal grandparents Scott and Virginia Thompson.

Virginia will be remembered for her generous heart, her vibrant spirit, her devotion to service, and the love she gave so freely. Her light will continue to shine in the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
