Jordan Raye Radcliff

1994 - 2015

Jordan Raye Radcliff, precious daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend, passed into the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2015. She was 21 years old. Celebration of life: 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, at Pantego Bible Church, 8001 Anderson Blvd., Fort Worth. Reception will follow the service. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts in Jordan's honor may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Jordan was born Aug. 9, 1994, in Louisville, Ky. She had fond childhood memories of growing up in Knoxville, Tenn., and Savannah, Tenn. She moved with her family to Lufkin in 2005 and then to Mansfield in 2007. In every place she lived, her beautiful smile and caring personality brought her many lasting friendships. She graduated from Pantego Christian Academy in 2012, and attended both Union University in Jackson, Tenn., and Tarrant County Community College. She was pursuing her degree in early childhood education with a goal of being a positive influence on children. She loved babies, kitties and frappucinos. Her "ideal" day would include holding a baby, cuddling her beloved kitty, Opal, and sipping on a Starbuck's vanilla bean frappucino with two pumps of raspberry and two pumps of hazelnut! Most of all, Jordan was a brave, courageous, huge-hearted young woman who loved Jesus. She will be forever missed and never forgotten. Survivors: Parents, Greg and Jeannie Radcliff; twin sister, Bethany; grandmothers, Vivian Vickrey and Anne Beville; other relatives and dear friends; and her kitty, Opal Ruth.
