Paula Nanette "Nan" Sangster Clark, 88, passed away June 19, 2019. Nan was born July 27, 1930 in Fort Smith, Arkansas to Paul and Aileen (Yandell) Sangster. She met her future husband, Bernard Clark, at Fort Chaffee where she was employed during the Korean War. Married in 1952, they were together for 62 years. During their early married life, they followed Bernard's career in the oil industry from Ponca City to Denver to Houston to Omaha until finally settling in Tulsa in 1970. In addition to helping raise their family, Nan began her own successful career with Greene and Andress (later McGraw) selling real estate for over 25 years. In addition to real estate, Nan was active in many volunteer organizations including Tulsa Newcomers; Meals on Wheels; Assistance League; and the altar guild ministry at her church. She was a long-time member of Christ United Methodist Church where she was a faithful member of the congregation. Most recently Nan resided at Oklahoma Methodist Manor.
Nan was known by her family and friends for her generosity in both time and love, and was affectionately called "Nanny" by those close to her, especially her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
