Janice Diann Clarkson

Janice Diann Marr Clarkson passed away peacefully at her home on May 28th, 2024. She was 79 years old.

Diann was born October 8, 1944, in Clarksville, Texas, to William and Lucile Stringer Marr.

She had a magical touch that turned every meal into a feast and every garden into a blooming paradise.

Memorial services are scheduled for 2:00 p.m., Sunday, June 2, 2024, at the Dimple Community Center under the direction of Clarksville Funeral Home. Burial will follow in Tuggle Springs Cemetery. 

Survivors include her daughter, Treva Cargile; son Steaven Lee and wife, Melanie; sister, Alice Walsh and husband, Max; brother, Bill Marr and wife, Susan; sister-in-law, Shirley Marr; brother-in-law, Roger Early; 3 grandchildren, Olivia Lee, Landan Lee, and Amanda Lee; one great-grandchild, Zaedan Shaw; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
