Listen to Obituary

Jana Gayle McClinton (Taylor), born in Wichita Falls, Texas, was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness, loyalty, and love touched the lives of so many.

Jana married her husband, Scott, in August of 1991. Together, they built a wonderful life filled with love, family, and cherished memories. Jana loved traveling, spending time with family, and being surrounded by the people she cared about most.

Above all, Jana was a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother, and loyal friend. She had a genuine love for others and was the kind of person you could always count on. Her friendships were special to her, and she made a lasting difference in the lives of those fortunate enough to know her.

Jana is survived by her husband, Scott McClinton; daughter, Sydney McClinton; granddaughter, Stella Afrasiabi; and sisters, Marla Fenoglio and Renae Craven.

Jana will be remembered for her caring heart, unwavering loyalty, and the love she shared so freely. She was, quite simply, a wonderful person who will be deeply loved, missed, and never forgotten.
