Janet Kay Clark, 75, Russell County, KY Janet Kay Clark, of Jamestown, passed peacefully from this life on Sunday, August 2, 2026. She was 75 years, 1 month, and 7 days old. Born on June 26, 1951, in Taylor County, Janet was the daughter of the late William Russell Thompson and Cordie Lee Watson Thompson. Throughout her life, Janet dedicated herself to both her career and her community. In her early years, while living in Washington, D.C., with her husband, David, she worked for the FBI and then the IRS. After relocating back to Kentucky, Janet became a longtime employee of the Bank of Jamestown, where she served for many years and retired as Vice President. Janet was deeply committed to serving Russell County. She held numerous leadership roles throughout the community, including serving as a past member of the Lake Cumberland Area Development Board. At the time of her passing, she was a member of the Russell County Public Library Board and served as Treasurer for the Russell County Extension Office. Above all, Janet loved the Lord. She was a faithful member of Liberty Baptist Church. Janet was known as a true prayer warrior, she faithfully lifted others up in prayer and found joy in studying God's Word and reading other books she loved. Nothing brought Janet greater happiness than her family. She cherished every moment spent with them and especially treasured being "Nana" to her three grandchildren. She loved watching them grow, pursue their dreams, and become the people God created them to be. Janet is survived by her beloved husband of 54 years, David Clark of Jamestown; her daughter and son-in-law, Davene and Jeric DeVore of Russell Springs; and her three grandchildren, Marlei DeVore, Maribelle Harper DeVore, and Milo Ren DeVore. She is also survived by six sisters: Regina Key (Leo Abner) of Columbia, Zerelda Ervin of Glasgow, Ramona (Kenneth) Dial of Columbia, Donna Mattingly of Springfield, Glenda (Rod) Phillips of Campbellsville, and Pam (Todd) Quinn of Campbellsville; and three brothers: Gary (Kena) Long of Lebanon, Bradley Thompson of Campbellsville, and Randy (Terissa) Thompson of Campbellsville. In addition to her parents, Janet was preceded in death by her stepmother, Kathleen Thompson, and her brother-in-law, Bo Mattingly. Funeral services are at 1pmCT on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, at Bernard Funeral Home, with her son-in-law, Brother Jeric DeVore, officiating. Burial will follow in Jamestown Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 5-8pmCT on Tuesday. Pallbearers are David Deering, Curtis Ervin, Josh Ervin, Dylan Quinn, Eric Quinn, and Jarrett Mattingly. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations of sympathy be made to Liberty Baptist Church Building Fund, P.O. Box 1859, Russell Springs, KY 42642. Janet will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her servant's heart, her gentle spirit, and the love she poured into her family, her church, and her community. Her legacy of kindness, prayer, and faithful service will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. This story was posted on 2026-08-03 21:51:11
