Vada Mildred Hagee was an influential figure in evangelical circles, best known as the mother of prominent pastor John Hagee and the wife of Reverend William Bythel Hagee. Born and raised in Texas, she spent much of her early life in Goose Creek, embodying the values of Southern evangelical Christianity. Vada was a trailblazer for women in religious education during an era when such roles were uncommon; she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Theology from Southern Bible College (later known as Southwestern Assemblies of God University) and reportedly held two college degrees. She worked as a college professor, teaching homiletics and hermeneutics to aspiring male pastors, contributing significantly to the training of future religious leaders. Vada married William Bythel Hagee in 1933 (or possibly 1934, per some accounts), and together they built a family deeply immersed in ministry. Their son, John Hagee, born on April 2, 1940, in Goose Creek, Texas, went on to found Cornerstone Church and become a major voice in televangelism. Vada supported her husband's pastoral work while pursuing her own academic and teaching career, exemplifying dedication to faith and family. She passed away in San Antonio, Texas, leaving a legacy of educational influence within the Pentecostal and Assemblies of God traditions. Throughout her life, Vada Hagee navigated the challenges of gender roles in mid-20th-century religious institutions, yet her achievements as an educator and theologian highlight her as a pioneer. Her contributions extended beyond her immediate family, shaping generations of ministers through her teaching.
