In Loving Memory

Clifton Lancaster
February 27, 1942 — June 12, 2026
Clifton Lancaster, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and devoted servant of Jehovah, peacefully passed away on June 12, 2026, at the age of 84. Clifton, affectionately known as Cliff to his family and friends, was born on February 27, 1942, in the quaint town of Madeira, California, to Floyd and Blanche (Davis) Lancaster.
Cliff's life was a testament to his steadfast faith and unwavering dedication to his spiritual beliefs. As an active member and Elder of the Chandler Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he devoted over 50 years to his role, embodying the principles of love, kindness, and compassion. His passion for the Christian Ministry was evident in his enthusiasm for sharing Bible truths with anyone interested, leaving a lasting impact on those he encountered.
Cliff's journey was marked by both triumphs and challenges. He valiantly fought a long battle with leukemia, demonstrating remarkable strength and resilience until his peaceful passing at home. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Floyd and Blanche, his first wife Sherry, his cherished eldest son Kip, an infant son, Ollie, three brothers Leslie, Estle and Carl and four sisters Lenore, Clara, Edna and Thelma. Through these profound losses, Clifton remained a beacon of hope and comfort to his family and congregation.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Karen, who was his steadfast companion and partner in life. His legacy lives on through his youngest son Noah and his wife Rebecca, and their sons Tristan, Bryce, and Brayden, who carry forward his values and teachings. Cliff also leaves behind his beloved grandson Trinity, his sister Velma and brother Owen, along with a host of nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, all of whom were deeply touched by his love.
Clifton's life will be celebrated in a memorial service held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, located at 1015 S Rozell Ln, Chandler, OK. The service will be an opportunity for family, friends, and members of the congregation to gather in remembrance of a man whose life was a testament to faith, love, and service.
In honoring Cliff's memory, we remember a man whose heart was as expansive as his faith, whose gentle spirit touched countless lives, and whose legacy will continue to inspire all who knew him. His journey may have ended here, but his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who were privileged to know and love him. He looked forward to reuniting with his family and friends in the earthly Paradise that Jehovah promises to restore one day soon!
