Inspire, Spring 2006

Edith Wigal Clark ’29 served as a teacher for more than 35 years. In 1937, she married the love of her life, David Clark. David and Edith celebrated 57 years together before her death in 1994. Even while grieving his wife’s passing, David thought of others — specifically, the students of Cedarville University. As a memorial to his beloved wife, he established the David H. and Edith W. Clark Scholarship. David knew that Edith would approve of assisting students from her alma mater. He knew that he was providing a significant financial resource for many deserving Cedarville students. What he may not have known is that he was also providing an example of faithfulness to the entire student body — faithfulness that would be reflected back to him in the final days of his life.

Faithfulness Reflected Office of Gift Planning Contact Dave Bartlett bartlett@cedarville.edu “They did not ask for special ceremonies or public recognition of their generosity. They just lived quietly and quietly passed away into eternity with lives well lived for the Lord. I envy Mr. Clark for having such a fulfilled life and now being in the presence of his Lord, hearing God say, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant.’ I met him once for a very short time, but I thank God for the opportunity. What a testimony and example of a life well lived for things that really matter!” —Ryan Boudreau ’04 “I hope that when we told him how much we love the education we receive at Cedarville and expressed our appreciation for scholarships such as his, he was able to see at least a small glimpse of the difference his life has made to others.” —Julia Sullivan ’04 50% tuition scholarship now available for alumni (limited time offer)!
