In the wake of Sallie Ann Clarke’s passing, one of the remembrances being told about her is that she “screened her daughter’s would-be boyfriends by seeing how they reacted to the stories, her daughter Dee Wood said,” according to the Star-Telegram.
Lake Worth Monster investigator, author, and eyewitness Sallie Ann Clarke, 80, of Benbrook, died Tuesday, November 3rd, after a long illness. Clarke worked as a private-duty nurse. After retiring, she and her husband traveled the country in a motor home.
Dee Wood, of Austin, recalled that her mother screened her dates by talking to them about the monster.
When Wood was about 16, she said, a young man she really liked came to their house.
“When I introduced him to Mother, of course he noticed the Lake Worth Monster stuff around, so they got to talking about it and that was the last of me for that evening,” she said.
The three of them went to the lake to look for the monster, Wood said. “He sat in the front seat with Mother, talking, and I sat in the back seat, all alone, the whole evening.”
Wood said her mother was “very strong-willed.”
“But she also played a lot and was a very sweet, loving and caring person,” she said.
