Buster Clark

Buster Clark, 78, of Oxford, passed away on Monday, December 09, 2024, at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford. The family will receive friends on Thursday, December 12, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Calvary Baptist Church. A funeral service celebrating Mr. Clark's life will follow at 1:00 PM in the sanctuary of the church. Buster was welcomed into this world on March 17, 1946, in the Delay community as the last of seven boys born to the late Roland Delma Clark and Wille Flo Grimes Clark. Buster Clark was a devoted member of Calvary Baptist Church and took great joy in spending time with and supporting his grandchildren. He also had a deep affection for his dog, Sissy. He dedicated 43 years of service to the University of Mississippi, where he began his career as a mail clerk and advanced to the position of Telecommunications Director by his retirement. Mr. Clark was committed to personal growth, attending night school and taking daytime classes, which culminated in his graduation with a bachelor's degree in 1990. Additionally, he served as an interim pastor to several churches and faithfully taught his Adult II Sunday school class for more than 30 years. Buster leaves behind a loving family to continue walking down the path of life in his absence: his beloved wife of fifty years, Elaine Gullett Clark of Oxford; one daughter, Kaytee Clark Hazlewood, and her husband, Kenny, of Oxford; and two grandchildren, Maggie Hazlewood and Clark Hazlewood of Oxford. The loved ones who departed from this life before him include his father and mother, Roland Delma Clark and Wille Flo Grimes Clark, and six brothers: James Clark, Bobby Clark, Glen "Snowball" Clark, Billy Clark, Charles Clark, and Sammy Clark. In place of traditional flowers, the family respectfully requests that donations be made to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital (https://tinyurl.com/5cwh4529) or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (https://tinyurl.com/4zd9kzwd). The staff at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford is honored to assist the family during this difficult time. Condolences may be expressed online on his Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhome.com
