Clarke started working at the Wichita Falls, Texas station in August of 2018 as a reporter. She began anchoring last year.
She also hosted the station’s Helping the Helpers franchise.
“Shatanya was a bigger-than-life spirit,” said KFDX news director Adam P. Bradshaw. “Her wit and personality could brighten anyone’s day. She had a passion for telling stories in a way that really hit home. To say our family and this community will miss her is the understatement of the year.”
