Rita Ellen (Kregel) Clark Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on September 1, 2025, Rita Ellen (Kregel) Clark of Beecher, Illinois passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As we bid Rita farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Rita is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her husband Wesley; her children, Jeff Clark (Kelly), Nancy Barkhurst (Jim) and Nicole Potempa (Mike); her grandchildren, Justin, Tyler Barkhurst, Brandon Clark, Eli, Bailey Potempa and Bella Valdivia; and her sibling Shirley Piazza.
