Fran’s Obituary Billie Frances “Punkin” Clark, age 79 of Florida and formerly a longtime resident of Elwood, passed away on Saturday, August 6, 2022 in Florida. She was born April 23, 1943 in Elwood the daughter of Ralph and Patricia “Patty” Collier. Fran, as she chose to be called, later in life enjoyed a happy and adventurous life along with her beloved sister, Colleen, on “the farm” on Duck Creek Avenue just south of Elwood. Fran attended Elwood schools and later obtained her cosmetology and beauticians license. She went on to be the co-owner of a local beauty salon, The Wedge, which she and her partner maintained as a poplar hotspot for many years. People routinely stopped by for a quick haircut or just to visit the lovely ladies who loved to make everyone look and feel their best. Fran married Kenneth Ray Clark and together they had 2 wonderful sons, Kevin Ray Clark and Eric Ralph Clark. Although they eventually parted ways, they maintained a close, supportive friendship as they raised their sons and pursued their goals. Fran later married the love of her life, Stephen Lee Sigler, in 1980. She gained a step-daughter Michele Lea Sigler, and the blended family enjoyed many happy years in Elwood on South E Street. After the loss of her beloved son Kevin in a motorcycle accident, she moved to Florida where she could be near the ocean and feel the sunshine on her face all year around. Not long after, her son, Eric, joined her in Florida and resides there today. Fran was a beautiful, bold, loving, joyful soul who always had a smile or positive spin on things to share. She loved her family and friends tremendously, and she cherished everyone in her inner circle whole heartedly. Fran’s laugh was genuine and infectious, and she was always up for a good time. She loved rock-n-roll music, the beach, unique and colorful earrings, cooking from scratch, dancing in the rain, fresh seafood, adventures (big and small), the wind in her hair, and her favorite color of yellow because it reminded her of sunshine. Fran filled every room with laughter and love and the family will miss her vibrant energy dearly. Fran’s family includes her cherished son, Eric (wife Lisa) Clark of Bradenton, FL; special step-daughter, Michele Kelley of Cicero; 5 precious grandchildren, Bridgette Clark of Fairmout, Nick Clark of Ohio, Eric Michael Twiford of Elwood, Parker Kelley, and Norah Kelley; great-grandson, Gabriel Michael Twiford of Elwood; niece, Stacey Rickabaugh Wanczyk; and two nephews, Bob and Toby Rickabaugh. Fran is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Colleen McPhearson; son, Kevin Clark; and husband, Steve Sigler. Burial will take place in the Elwood City Cemetery.
