Mamie was born October 12, 1933 in Georgiana, Alabama, the daughter of Silas and Dovie Florence Clark. Mamie attended the Lomax Hannon Academic Preparatory School in Greenville, Alabama and later graduated from the Georgiana Training School.

Mamie cherished her role as a loving wife and a dedicated homemaker. Mamie devoted her life to taking care of her family and friends. She treasured creating a warm and engaging educational environment in her home.  From the strong foundation that Mamie set, her grandchildren entered into professional life to serve others in medicine, healthcare, and criminal justice.
