Annette M. Clark passed away peacefully on the evening of Wednesday, April 27, 2022, at Prairie Ridge Hospital in Columbus, Wisconsin. Her life will be celebrated at Trinity Lutheran Church, N2296 County Rd I, Reeseville, WI, on Thursday, May 5, 2022. Visitation will be held from 10 a.m. to noon, with a memorial service immediately following, officiated by Pastor Randy Zeman. A luncheon hosted by the family will follow in the church parish hall.
Annette was born on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, 1963, at St. Joseph Hospital in Beaver Dam, WI, to Raymond E. and Victoria A. (Kraus) Schrab. She grew up on the family dairy farm with 7 brothers and 2 sisters and graduated from Dodgeland High School in Juneau. Annette attended the Minneapolis College of Art & Design and the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, then completed an Associate Degree in Interior Design from the Madison Area Technical College. This ultimately led to Cozy Kitchens, her own kitchen design business. Annette was passionate about art in various forms, being an inspired painter, photographer, sculptor, and poet. In recent years, Annette helped a local florist and continued pursuing her passion for art. Her paintings were donated to various causes and displayed at the Portage Center for the Arts.
On July 15, 1989, Annette was united in marriage with Tim Clark at Trinity Lutheran Church in Reeseville, WI. She loved being a mom and spending time in nature. As her son Clintgrew, Annette loved having the house full with Clint and his friends. She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church where she volunteered as a Sunday school teacher for several years. More recently she gave back to the community by volunteering at various organizations. Annette advocated for Wisconsin state mental health legislation due to her own struggles with mental illnesses and depression. Despite this, she made the best life with what she could offer, and she will always be loved for that. She will be remembered for her warm smile and hearty laugh.
She is survived by her husband Tim; son Clinton (Allison)Clark of Plymouth, MI; mother Victoria Schrab of Hustisford, WI; brothers Raymond, David, Geoffrey, Gregory and Kevin; sisters Geralyn and Paulette; and sisters-in-law Caryl (Edward) and Lena (Randolph); brother-in-law Van; many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Annette was preceded in death by her father Raymond, as well as her brothers Edward and Randolph.

My deepest sympathy to Annettes family from her German friend.
We got to know us on the net as lovers of the music of Andrea Carri. But soon we noticed that we share some more interests and we had some good talks about God and the world. I'll always remember her as a loving, kind and creative woman.

Uncle Tim and Clint,
I am so sorry for the loss of your awesome wife and mother. I couldn't make the service last week because I was traveling for work, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of both of you and everyone around you constantly. I always had a close connection with her because "I was a twin too".
Hang in there.
Love,
Luke

My deepest condolences to Annette's family and loved ones. She, Paulette and I were born days apart back in 1963. I always enjoyed Annette's sassy sense of humor and her sharp mind. I will be praying for her peace and for consolation for all of her family. As a Catholic priest, I will do as is customary and include her in my special intentions for the deceased at Mass. In fact, I will do so in about one hour from now.

My deepest sympathy to the Clark and Schrab families. Had so many good times with Annette. Hours and hours spent at the roller rink or Sunrise Shores in our younger years! Road trip to Texas to pick up Greg. Trips to each others apartments and so on. Lots of laughs! I will miss her so much.

Annette’s smile and laugh were infectious. She was enthusiastic, bold and compassionate. She faced difficulties with courage and endurance. The people she touched have been forever changed and the ripples of her life will continue. She would want everyone to openly confront health challenges to move the world forward toward solutions that heal hearts, souls and spirits.
