Mary Pat Clark was a dear friend and supporter of Marian House. This is a picture of Mary Pat Clarke and Lou Curran at our 16th Annual 5K Race to Embrace Independence in September. The first woman elected to serve as president of the Baltimore City Council, Mary Pat Clarke, died Sunday morning. She was 83. We are sending our sincerest condolences and prayers to her family and friends on the loss of this trailblazer who was a beloved Baltimore City public servant. Rest in Peace, Mary Pat Clarke; you will be deeply missed by everyone at Marian House!
