Public servant, ex-legislator Clark dies By JAN HORGEN Of The Globe, Gazelle

ROCKWELL - The passionate, pl ainspoken voice offormer Iowa legislator Betly Jean "Bejc" Clark is now silent.

Clark, 84, died Sunday at Mu se Norris Hospice Inpatient Unit.

A public servant to the core, Cla rk was known for her bipartisan efforts for the youth of Iowa, on women's issues and education during her seven terms in the Iowa House of Representati ves from 1976 to 1990,

Alt houg:h she was a Republican, Clark often reached across the aisle to Democrats on issues s he felt needed to be address~d ,

"When Beje got up to speak , it was quiet in the Statehouse. People listened. because she was not up often,~ said Harriet Stromer, wife of the late Del Stromer. a fellow Republican who served in the House of Rcprc!'cntatives with Clark.

~E\'eI"}1hing was busi ness. Clark unti l she thought of a joke,"

Stromer said. "Beje was a fun person; could be quite a tease when s he wanted,"

Den Koenigs, a SL An sgar Democrat who served many years in the House with Clark , remembers that sense of humor and that

. strong sense of purpose.
