In the early years of their marriage, they had the opportunity to live in France for two years while Clark served in the military as a military physician.

It was an eye-opening experience for a young woman from Hurricane, Utah.She was an active member in the LDS Church where she served in the Young Women's and many years as a Primary and Relief Society chorister. In whatever calling she served, she always went above and beyond in her efforts to share her testimony.Lynette's life was lived supporting her children's activities including athletics and music which allowed them to flourish and grow in their talents. This continued all throughout her life as she did the same for her grandchildren.If there were words to describe Lynette, it would be "unconditional love".
