Grace “Denette” McClain, 55, died Sunday, Oct. 4, 2015.
Celebration of life services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday in Trinity Fellowship West Auditorium with the Rev. Kyle Wilkinson and Greg Drees officiating. Arrangements are by Cox Funeral Home, 4180 Canyon Drive.
Denette was born Jan. 22, 1960, in Borger to Robert and Grace Ammons. She was raised in Borger before moving to Austin, where she graduated high school and eventually moved to Amarillo. She attended West Texas A&M University and met her husband, Tracy McClain. They were married on May 25, 1979, in Amarillo, where they began their family. They were devoted members of Trinity Fellowship Church, where she faithfully served in the children’s ministry.
At age 48, Denette went back to school to pursue a degree in occupational therapy and maintained a 4.0 grade point average throughout her education. Denette was an avid fan of University of Southern California Trojans and Seattle Seahawks and enjoyed playing volleyball, both for city leagues as well as previously playing for WT. She will be remembered for her strong will and loving spirit. Most of all, Denette loved her family and enjoyed nothing more than being Pom Pom to her grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Ammons and Grace Janda.
Survivors include her husband, Tracy McClain; a son, Jordon McClain; two daughters, Erin McClain and Jenny McClain; two grandchildren, Andalen McQueary and Fynlee Bevers; a brother, Drexel Ammons and wife Dena, all of Amarillo; a sister, Debbie Hall and husband Robert of Denver; many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles; and her close friend, Stephanie James.
