Linda Gingry-Clark Memorial

In 2000, the loving family of the late Linda Gingry-Clark approached OTC about ways to honor her memory. Linda was a caring and nutruing LPN who received her practical nursing certificate from Graff Vocational-Technical School, which is now Ozarks Technical Community College, after she discovered a love for the profession as a young “candy striper.” She was passionate about nursing and helping her community, and was very apprecaitive of the excellent training she received from her isntructors. It was with great pride that the Linda Gringy-Clark Memorial Scholarship fund was established by her family so that Linda’s impact could continue.

The family was pleased to create opportunities for OTC nursing students, knowing they will enter the workforce and serve countless patients’ medical needs, without a financial burden, and serving our community’s tremendous need for health professionals. Indeed, the Linda Gingry-Clark Memorial Scholarship has not only eased the worry of how to pay for college, but has changed the lives of dozens of students and their families.
