In Memory – Homecoming 2026
Homecoming offers the Clarke community the opportunity to honor and remember the members of our class who are no longer with us in person but are undoubtedly with us in spirit. We will honor and recognize deceased classmates at our Alumni Mass on Sunday, October 11 at 10:30 a.m. at Mount Carmel in the Mary Frances Clarke Chapel
Below you will find a list of deceased classmates for our reunion year classes. Every effort has been made to be as accurate and as comprehensive as possible. If you notice a discrepancy, please contact us at alumnirelations@clarke.edu.
