Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services
Christine Ann Clark was a loving daughter, sister, mother, and music teacher. She met her husband Alan while in college at UW-Oshkosh. Soon after they got married, he became very physically abusive. After each incident, he apologized and promised never to do it again. After he threatened to harm their baby daughter, she fled to a domestic abuse shelter. She then went to live with her parents and filed for divorce. Claiming to love his daughter very much, Alan settled for biweekly visitations with their daughter. It was during an exchange of the baby that he murdered Christine Ann. The baby was unharmed. Alan was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree sexual assault. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Throughout the ordeal of her relationship, Christine drew on her own strength to do what she thought was best to survive. She was resourceful and leaned on friends, family, and community agencies. Her desire to protect her daughter from a life of violence led her to end the marriage. Her death reminds us of the need to remain vigilant in our work and never underestimate the potential for deadly consequences. Our work with survivors is inspired by Christine’s resilience.
