Gayle Diane Dow

We celebrate the life of Gayle Diane (Clark) Dow born February 26, 1946, in McKinney, Texas to parents, Patrick Everett Clark and Wilma E. Barton Clark. Diane went to meet our Lord in her Heavenly Home on May 6, 2024, in Arlington, Texas at the age of 78.  

Diane was a member of the Coldspring Methodist Church and an honorary member of the Eastern Star Chapter in Shepherd, Texas.  

She was preceded in death by her parents, Patrick and Wilma Clark. Diane is survived by her daughter, Shelly Brady and husband Michael; son, Trey Clark and wife Michelle; grandchildren, Leah Brady and Ethan Clark; sister, Sharon Clark Nelson; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.  

Diane had a love of life, others and loved our Lord! She had a green thumb and somehow, someway could always make any plant grow.  She also loved frogs and had one of the largest collections of frogs known to man and was proud to show them off. She had a wonderful smile and lived life her way. We celebrate the life of Diane and rejoice knowing she has arrived in her eternal home!
