A cold-hearted New Jersey widow raised money online to cremate and bury her husband, but instead spent the donated cash on her own “living expenses,” prosecutors allege.

Patricia Clark, 49, raised $2,050 of her $3,000 goal on GoFundMe after her 47-year-old disabled husband, Brian Clark, passed away in April 2019. She claimed her late partner deserved “something special” while asking for donations to cover the cost of his forthcoming funeral and cremation.

“Brian was disabled and unable to work,” Clark wrote in the fundraiser. “Our only income was his Social Security Disability. We have no money saved and he didn’t have any type of life insurance policy.”

Clark said her late husband’s three children and grandson “would also appreciate” any financial help from the public.

“I really need to make this happen for Brian,” the post continued. “Please, if there’s anybody out there that can make a donation to help with the expenses I would greatly appreciate it.”

Twenty-eight people donated to Clark’s pointed public appeal during an ensuing two-month span, including one anonymous $200 pledge, records show. But Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina said the Pemberton Township woman instead used the funds on her own expenses after leaving her husband’s body at a morgue.

Clark was indicted by a grand jury Friday on a charge of felony theft by failure to make disposition, Coffina said. She admitted to creating the online fundraiser that ultimately went to her “living expenses,” according to a criminal complaint.

“The investigation began after family members contacted [New Jersey State Police] and indicated the decedent remained in a morgue even though money had been raised for cremation and funeral expenses,” Coffina said in a statement.

Clark, who was not detained after being charged, will be arraigned in Superior Court, Coffina said Monday. Attempts to reach her Tuesday were unsuccessful and it’s unclear if she’s hired an attorney who could comment on her behalf. If convicted, she faces anywhere from three to five years in prison and up to a $15,000 fine.
