Family, friends and colleagues gathered at Franklin First United Methodist Church on Friday for a funeral service in remembrance of Justice Cornelia A. “Connie” Clark, the Administrative Office of the Courts reports. Chief Justice Roger A. Page spoke to those in attendance, praising Clark’s “comprehension and grasp of the law” but also her “innate wisdom and benevolent heart.” The other current justices also spoke, as did Clark’s longtime friends and Nashville-area lawyers Margaret L. Behm and Julian Bibb. A private family graveside service was held following the service at the Historic Resthaven Cemetery. To honor Justice Clark, memorial donations may be given to Franklin First United Methodist Church or to the U.S. Presidential Scholars Foundation.
