Jamie Meador Clark, 70, of Fayetteville, passed unexpectedly on Saturday, March 4, 2023. She was born February 27, 1953 in Tulsa, OK to Brice and Jackie Meador.
She was preceded in death by her father Brice Meador; her son Matt Clark; her sister Vicki Ellis; and her father and mother-in-law David and Vaughdeen Clark.
Jamie started her career at the Springdale Youth Center, and continued to work with youth at Greenland and Springdale Public Schools. Although teaching was her career, her greatest love was her family (especially her twin grandchildren Jace and Ella, who she spoiled tremendously). She enjoyed outside activities such as working in the yard, walking, biking with family and her many friends. Jamie loved traveling with family to the beach and ski slopes. Her greatest joy was her children and grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband Larry Clark; her daughter Jodie Doherty (Justin); her mother Jackie Meador; her sisters Elaine Goseland (Stan) and Manci Gage (Bob); her brother Jim Meador (Helen); her much loved grandchildren Jace and Ella Doherty; and multiple nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 5-7 PM Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at Beardās Funeral Chapel.
Funeral services will be 2:00 PM Thursday, March 9, 2023 at Ridgeview Baptist Church with Pastor Seth Jones officiating. Interment will follow in Round Mountain Cemetery under the direction of Beardās Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ridgeview Baptist Church, 1850 E Huntsville Rd, Fayetteville, AR 72701.
A precious young woman who has touched the lives of many in her lifetime. I pray God will grant this loving family much comfort and beautiful memories.

Larry, so sorry for your family’s loss.
Jamie will be missed by so manyš. She was as beautiful on the inside as she obviously was on the outside. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. My sincerest condolences to all. The obituary was perfect.
I had not seen Jamie since high school graduation so in my mind she was still that happy, stunning 18 year old girl. She was still beautiful. It gives me joy to read that she had grandchildren she doted on. No greater happiness in life.
Jamie, sandye allen and I had the best times together in our youth! So many stories and shared memories that will never be forgotten!
Prayers for Larry, Jodi and Jackie and all family for comfort with loss of our precious Jamie. So many precious memories I have with Jamie from high school to present. We always stayed in touch and she was so proud of Matt and Jodi. Her grandkids made her so happy. She was incredibly beautiful inside and out! Love you Jamie my dear friend, I will miss you.

Jamie was a natural beauty and athlete, a good friend at SHS. Iām sorry I missed her at the 50th class reunion, even more so now . Rest in peace.
Jamie was a natural beauty and athlete, much admired, a good friend who sparkled. Rest in peace.
I played softball with Jamie when we were very young on a Womenās league. She was a great athlete, so sweet, and such a pretty lady! Larry and family I pray God brings you comfort and peace during this sad time! Iām so sorry!
I will always remember her smile! She was full of energy as a cheerleader. I always wanted to be just like her and that girl was simply beautiful.
Enjoyed reading about her life and how she lived and loved, I would have not expected her to be any other way.
I know you will miss her as she will be impossible to replace but someday you will be reunited in paradise. Praise the Lord!
Many happy memories with Jamie as we played, rode bikes, and had adventures in the old Elmdale neighborhood in the 1960s. I always admired her beauty and grace. Rest in peace Jamie.
Larry, Iām so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Larry and Jodie I am so very sorry for your loss. I saw the obituary on Sunday and was just heart broken. I worked with Jamie way back in the early Youth Center days and we had so much fun! She was funny, smart, kind, and the best kind of friend to have. She will be missed by so many. I will be praying for your family as God tenderly works through your healing.
Coach Dougherty and family:
We were so very sorry to hear about the unexpected loss of your mother. I remember her back from the old youth center days. She was beautiful then and was still beautiful and will be a beautiful angel looking down on you and your family from heaven. We are heartbroken for you and your family. Please know you are in our prayers.
Just saw this. Makes me sad that I didnāt keep in touch. Jamie and I worked at the Youth Center together. Very smart and a great person.
