A large decorative black bench now sits in front of the Beatitudes Community Center at 210 N. Main St., as an invitation to sit and watch the world go by, to stop and chat with someone you meet or to simply pause and take a moment of needed rest.

The bench is the gift of Penny Keller-Clark, known in the community as Officer Penney of the Ada Police Department. Keller-Clark made the gift as a memorial to her husband Patrick, who passed away in 2020 at age 92. A plaque is inscribed with his name, Patrick Joseph Clark, and The Irish Blessing (May the road rise up to meet you…).
