Diane Elizabeth Clift
July 25, 1948 - February 26, 2025
Diane Elizabeth Clift, born on July 25th, 1948, was released from this physical world into the loving arms of Jesus on February 26, 2025. Free from pain and finally reunited with the love of her life, Roger Neil Clift and her loving son, Brian Christopher Clift.
Diane was a loving, dedicated wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother, she will be greatly missed. Diane was also just a fun person, full of life, always chatty and truly never, ever met a stranger. She would go out of her way to help anyone and everyone loved her. She was also the late-night Mom, always picking up Vikki and her friends from roller skating when they were young. Constantly thinking of others and doing for them, always planning, and buying the perfect gift or sharing her time. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the joy of her life. Attending baseball games and cheering them on, she was their greatest fan.
Born and raised in Wenatchee, WA in a large family of siblings, Diane made many lifelong friends. She met and married the love of her life, Roger N Clift on December 4, 1970. Truly "a match made in heaven", Roger and Diane repeated their wedding vows in front of family and friends, not once, not twice, but three times during their 34 loving years of marriage. During their marriage they raised their two children, Brian Clift and Victoria Clift, in East Wenatchee, thoroughly enjoying family life. Diane has longed to once again being reunited with her kind, gentle husband Roger since his death in 2005.
Diane was preceded in death by her husband Roger Clift and her son Brian Clift, her mother Audrey Rader, and her brothers David Rader and Danny Rader. She is survived by her daughter Victoria Clift (Jason), her grandchildren: Roger Clift, Porter Clift, Bradley Clift (Samantha), Ashlie, Branden, Cady, and Lilli and her great-grandchildren Charlotte, Kinsley, Orion, and Willow, her siblings: Darlene Rader, Debbie Senseney (John), Douglas Rader (Dana) Dale Rader (Laura), Dea Black (Robert) and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her lifelong friend, Deloris Ward.
There will be a Celebration of Life for Diane on Saturday, March 15th at Wenatchee Valley Veteran's Hall at 1206 N Wenatchee Ave from 1:00 4:00. Please join family and friends in remembering Diane and share your memories or stories.
