Taylor Richelle Clark

Taylor Richelle Clark, age 26, of Hastings passed away on December 16th, 2019.

Taylor, born on March 15th, 1993, was the daughter of Colleen (Clark) Littlejohn, Christopher Hartke, Bill Littlejohn and Christine Frentheway.

Taylor is survived by her daughter Lillian Grace Smith, her parents, brothers Devin Clark, Jaden Littlejohn, and Damian Hartke and her sisters Kathleen Littlejohn and Destiny Hartke. As well as the many "adopted" brothers and sisters. She also left behind sweet nephews Ajay, Devin, Tyrian, Xavier, Kai, and Jaxton, and many beloved cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.  She was preceded in death by her Grandmother Bonnie L. Clark and her cousin/best friend Ashley Young, who left us last December.

Taylor enjoyed music, long drives with her favorite music and usually a close family member or friend. She likes to get herself lost and find her way home, just like her Grandma Bonnie.  She also enjoyed spending time and jam sessions with her family and friends. Music was a huge part of her life. She liked poetry, indie films, disc golf, and memes, but most of all spending time with her wonderful daughter Lily.

Taylor was a beautiful soul. She was the lightning in the room. The inappropriate witty remark, when you were sure you were incapable of laughter, she was your biggest defender even if she didn't like you. She couldn't stand to see people hurting, especially by someone else's actions or words. She was brave and fearless and is irreplaceable.  This is your last road trip baby. I hope if you got lost, you found your way home to grandma, Ash, and Fergus.  From previous conversations with her siblings, Taylor had mentioned wanting people to dress emo/scene/punk if she ever passed. So please feel free to do so. If you choose not to, please don't be concerned with dressing formal. There will be a light repast, following the service, in the basement of the St. Rose of Lima church of Hastings. 805 S. Jefferson St.  If you would like to bring a dessert to pass, contact Cheryl Swinkunas @ (269) 908-9994.  Arrangements by Girrbach Funeral Home.  To leave an online condolence, visit www.girrbachfuneralhome.net .
