April Lynn Clarke, 30, of Philadelphia, PA passed away peacefully on October 25, 2025. She lived a life marked by kindness and love for her family and friends.
April was a graduate of Little Flower High School and Lincoln Technical Institute. Her gentle nature and sense of humor made her a natural caretaker for children and animals, and she found great joy in her volunteer work for her community.
She is survived by her sister Desiree Clarke, her brother Paul Clarke Jr., her brother John Foley, and her stepfather Michael Clarke, and was preceded in death by her mother Veronica Foley-Clarke and her father Paul Clarke Sr. April’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Prayers and Words of Remembrance will be held at McElvarr Funeral Home, 1415-17 E. Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19125 on Saturday, November 8th at 11 AM where friends may gather after 9:30 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Papermill Food Hub (papermillfoodhub.com), which April held dear.
