Lionel C. Clark

Lionel C. Clark, 85, of Moscow, Maine, passed away on December 18 surrounded by his four daughters. Born May 30, 1940 in Moscow to Laurel and Mary (Pooler) Clark. Lionel was known for his exceptional skills as a Class A mechanic and his entrepreneurial spirit. Over his lifetime, he built and operated several businesses - Clark’s garage, diner, minimart and hardware store earning a reputation for fairness and dedication to his community.

Dad loved deer hunting and spending time outdoors. He looked forward to the deer that came out most nights to visit him and all the many birds that had a home and a meal at his back deck. He also enjoyed spending time on his tractor, though most of all, he loved spending time with his family.

Lionel is predeceased by his parents Laurel and Mary (Pooler) Clark, sister Faylene (Woodard) Corson, brother Larry Clark, special Cousin Loren (and wife Pearl) Ayer, son-in-law Chad Hebert and niece Lorilei (Woodard) Stewart. He is survived by his daughters Jennifer Hebert, Kimberly (and husband James) Willette, Stephanie Lorom, and Nicole Clark; grandchildren January and Nathan Poulin, Mickayla and Dylan Willette, Brianne (Luke) Lorom and Lyndsie (John) Lorom, Timothy (and wife Ruth) Pooler, and Aspen Merry; great-grandchildren Zachary and Kelsie Walter, Gabrielle, Mirabelle, and Decatur Morrison, Eleanor Pooler and Noah Poulin.

Lionel had many great friendships through the years, friend/caregiver Liz Brochu, and his longtime friend Clark Sherman who rarely let a week go by without a visit.  Lionel was close with all his nephews and nieces; he most definitely was happiest when family were around.  

His family would like to thank all the nursing staff at the Maine Veterans home for their gentle and respectful way of caring for him in his last couple of weeks living there.

A service will be held on January 3, 2026, 11:00 am at Solon Congregational Church. Visiting hours are January 2, 2026 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Giberson Funeral Home in Bingham. A graveside burial will be held in the Spring.

Dad/Grampy will be Forever in our Hearts.
