Doris Diann Clayton

Diann was born in Los Angeles, California, and lived a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to her family. She shared 57 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Cecil Charles Clayton. Together, they built a beautiful life and a family that grew to include five children, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

A loving and supportive Air Force wife, Diann was a devoted mother and a caring sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. She had a sweet and caring nature, a wonderful sense of humor, and a special way of making the people around her feel loved.

Diann found joy in crafting, reading, square dancing, singing, and especially cooking for her family. She was a math wizard who enjoyed puzzles and never turned down the challenge of a good word game. She loved caring for her grandchildren and treasured the time she spent watching her family grow.

More than anything, Diann loved simply being with the people she loved. Family was at the center of her life and her greatest source of happiness.

Diann was preceded in death by her parents, Doris and Richard Randel; her brother, Richard; her brothers-in-law, Preston Bennett and Dan Wilkinson; and her beloved husband, Cecil Charles Clayton.

She is survived by her siblings, Cheryl Ge**er and husband Charles; William and Kathy Wild; Odette Randel; Karla and Roland Mar; Mark and Linda Randel; Sheila Randel; David Randel and Eve H***e; and Lori Randel.

She is also survived by her five children and their spouses: Curtis and Kim Clayton, Cindy and Chris Edwards, Corey and Shannon Clayton, Cherie and Ralph Alvarez, and Craig and Katie Clayton.

Her legacy continues through her nine grandchildren: Courtney Clayton, Cyler Clayton, Keegan Clayton, Cooper Clayton, Amber Alvarez, Collin Clayton, Coleman Clayton, Carson Edwards, and Camden Edwards; and her three great-grandchildren: Charlotte Hargrove, Cayden Hargrove, and Kashen Clayton.

Diann's greatest joy was her family, and the love she gave so freely will be her lasting legacy. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever carried in the hearts of those who were blessed to know and love her.

Jo Ann Spence

Jo Ann Hall Spence, of Dallas, Texas, passed away peacefully on August 20, 2026 surrounded by the love of her family. Jo Ann, commonly called Jody by her friends, was born on September 17, 1931 in Childress, Texas and grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas, as the only child of A. J. Hall. Her life was marked by a deep love for God, family, and a genuine interest in people, and an extraordinary ability to make everyone around her feel welcome.

Jody was married to the love of her life, Laverne (Vern) Otto Spence, who preceded her in death in 2012. Together, they built a loving family and a home where family and friends were always welcomed with open arms. Jody is survived by her two sons, Clay Spence and his wife Kelly and James Bryan “Jay” Spence and his wife Kim; her grandchildren, James Bryan “James” Spence and his wife Anna and Sarah Jaye Spence Fenner and her husband Tyler Fenner and great-granddaughter, Collins Fenner.

Jody worked in customer sales by telephone for Neiman Marcus, where her natural warmth and ability to connect with people were surely among her greatest gifts. She was also a longtime member of Park Cities Baptist Church, a community that held an important place in her life. After Neiman Marcus, Jody volunteered her time at the Scottish Rite for Children Hospital in Dallas.

Jody lived a full and active life. She was an avid tennis player and enjoyed playing bridge. She belonged to a women’s cultural club whose members regularly went on outings to learn more about Dallas, reflecting her lifelong curiosity and love of her community. She was also creative by nature and loved making jewelry and painting.

Jody loved Jesus and because of that personal relationship with Christ, her family was always her priority. She was a devoted grandmother and great-grandmother. Christ’s love extended far beyond her immediate family. Anyone who crossed her path was likely to be welcomed as a friend. If someone came to her home, they could count on one thing: they were staying for dinner. Jody had a way of making people feel there was always room at her table and always room in her heart.

Jody was a true friend—kind, loving, generous, funny, and interested in the lives of others. She could find humor in almost any situation and had a wonderful ability to make people laugh. Her warmth, hospitality, creativity, and joyful spirit touched countless lives.

Jody leaves behind not only her family, but also a lifetime of friendships and memories that will continue to bring laughter and comfort to those who knew and loved her. Her greatest legacy will be the lives she impacted by sharing God’s love. Jody extended grace so freely and the example she set of welcoming others, cherishing family, finding joy in everyday life, and never taking herself—or life—too seriously. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, September 17, 2026 in Ellis Chapel at Park Cities Baptist Church at 2:00 pm, with a reception following. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital in Dallas. (www.scottishriteforchildren.org)

Patricia Ann Curiel

Patricia Ann Hernandez Curiel was born in Dallas, Texas on July 13, 1955. On August 22, 2026, she peacefully went to be with her Lord Jesus Christ, surrounded by the love of her children, grandchildren and family.

She is preceded in death by her beloved parents, Edward Barajas Hernandez and Margarita Aguirre Hernandez; by her brother Leon A. Hernandez, his wife Juanita Cantu Hernandez; by her sister Evelyn Margaret Golden.

Patricia is survived by her loving children: daughter, Kelvia Dudley and husband, Robert; son, Phillip Curiel and wife, Jennifer; her beloved grandchildren, Carmen Dudley, Cassandra Dudley, and Lucia Curiel. She is survived by her brother, Mario Aguirre Hernandez, wife Patricia; by brother, Hector Hernandez, wife Jeanette; and by her brother-in-law, Danny Golden. Also, Patricia is survived by many affectionate nieces and nephews.

Patricia was a devoted mother, loving grandmother, and cherished member of her family. Her greatest joy was the love she shared with those closest to her, especially her granddaughters. The special bond she shared with them reflected the warmth, tenderness, and love that filled her heart.

Throughout her life, Patricia touched the lives of those around her. She worked at Tecon Corporation for 34 years where she made lasting friendships. She found great joy in gardening, cooking, collecting recipes, and watching classic cinema. She loved the State Fair of Texas, the Texas Ranger’s but tolerated the Dallas Cowboys. Most of all she loved spending time with her grandchildren and family.

Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we are grateful for the years, memories, laughter, and love Patricia shared with us. We find comfort knowing she was surrounded by her children, grandchildren and family in her final moments and that she has now gone home to be with the Lord Jesus Christ.

May her legacy continue to inspire us to live with kindness, give generously, and bring a little more joy into the world. 🕊️
