Gloradel McLain Diffee went to meet her heavenly Father on Friday, August 23rd at the age of 82. She was born on Christmas Day 1936 to Glenn and Ruth McLain in Bethany, Oklahoma. She always considered herself honored to share a birthday with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She attended Bethany Public Schools, graduating in May 1955. She married Vic Diffee on August 12, 1955. They were blessed with four children, Cris, Lori, Court and Laine. She was an incredible mother and her children never once doubted how much they were loved by her. She spoke truth into them and built her home on godly principles. She made traditions and holidays look like a magazine and warmed every heart that ever entered her home. She was a lifelong member of Bethany First Church of the Nazarene. Gloradel volunteered in many different roles such as Caravans, working with the high school department and with the Senior Adults at the Nazarene Intl Retreat of Golden Agers. Her creativity and talent turned Sunday School Luaus and Banquets into something you had to see to believe. Her 15 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren were the absolute light of her life. She adored each and everyone and modeled the same godly character to them. She specialized in listeningjust one of her spiritual gifts. In the later years of her life, she wrote a childrens book that she dedicated to all her great-grandchildren. 2 Chronicles 16:9 says, "For the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth looking to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." Mom, you lived a strengthened life, because your heart was fully committed. What will we do without you Gloradel was preceded in death by her parents, Glenn and Ruth McLain.
