Margie Sayles Callis, born on January 4, 1929, in Edna, Texas, passed away peacefully at home in Houston, Texas on Saturday, November 14, 2020. She is predeceased by her parents, R a y f e l Sayles, Sr. ( Buster Brown) and Layden Robinson Sayles; her husband , Sammy Callis; her son, Cpl. Tony Ray Turner; her daughter, Linda Turner Woodard; her sister, Vera Joshua; and her brothers, Jessie Ray Sayles and Rayfel Sayles, Jr. Margie had her first job at 13 years old, where she earned $1.25 per week. From those earnings, she was able to buy Juneteenth outfits for herself and her younger sister. Whether she was working as a babysitter, a theater ticket agent or a waitress at the local café, she served up a warm smile and a savviness well beyond her years. Her kids and her family meant the world to her. Her second marriage was to Sammie Callis on February 6, 1958. He won her over by being such a good man who accepted her and her three children born from her first marriage to Robert Turner, Jr. She settled into living a Christ-centered life and got certified to work as a home health care aide. Rarely idle, Margie was always there for those in need. She was an excellent cook who grew her own vegetables and picked her own dewberries to make her homemade dewberry pie with homemade lattice crust. Her family could always count on her to be a shining example of love and benevolence. In 1991, she retired from the home health care industry. Margie was the quintessential matriarch and homemaker and could always turn nothing into something. She tended to her roses and Philodendrons and did not hesitate to hop on the riding lawn mower to mow the lawn, climb on the roof to make a house repair or tinker under the hood of the car. Margie leaves a lifetime of precious and loving memories to her daughter, Wanda Turner Ballard; granddaughter, Chariesse Turner; granddaughter, Chondra Wilson; grandson, Andre’ Turner; nieces, LaVinua Washington and Janny Joshua; nephews, Danny Joshua and Kevin Joshua; three great-granddaughers; three great-great-granddaughters and a host of other loving relatives and friends.

Christmas Day dawned clear and bright and everyone in our small town awoke with a feeling that the blessed Spirit of the One whose birthday we revere and love was very close to our hearts. The children seemed to “celebrate” in a more quiet, subdued manner, as they were about their play, for our friend, who had been very ill for many months, had spoken: “Jesus come for me at Christmas Time.” When the day was almost over, while the quiet, friendly voices, whispered that she must be near the “crossing” the Death Angel took the hand of Aunt Babe, and she quietly slipped away at 5:30-just as the dusk met the earth at the close of the day (December 25, 1945.) There was no shock, no commotion, for she, herself, had prepared her family and she was ready and willing, yes, eager, to meet her Savior over there where there’s no sorrow, nor pain. She had suffered long and was so tired that it seemed she just laid down her burden and stepped over to the master on whose broad breast she could find peace and rest. Mrs. CARVELL who was “Aunt Babe” to all of us was born in Tennessee almost 75 years ago. She would have been 75 on May 13, 1946. Her maiden name was Nellie Duncan. At an early age she united with the Free-Will Baptist Church, and a simple child-like faith in the goodness of God, and a trust that was beautiful made her life sincere. She was married to J.B. Carvell, also a Tennessee at the age of 16 years. To this union were born one son and three daughters, all of whom are living. They are Robert C. Carvell, now of Old Ocean, Mrs. Reda Thomas of Bay City, Mesdames Nettie Joines and Macky Manning of Francitas. At the time of her death she has 14 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. Her four children and their families were all there when the end came. This good lady was a “Mother in Israel” for many years as she was able to attend the ailing and bring cheer to the down-hearted. She was ready, with willing hands, and her jovial, cheery smile to administer help right here in our midst, and this cheerfulness never left her, even after she had tears mixed with laughter. It was good to feel her warm hand-clasp and hear her hearty greeting. During her long illness she seemed never to long for sympathy. She wished only that her friends love her. A good mother, a staunch friend, a friendly neighbor, so shall we remember Mrs. Nellie Carvell. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. George Neely, were held at the church. Pall bearers were her three grandsons: John E. Martin, Marvin Joines, Phillip Manning, Jr., and W.R. Joines, Jr., Nathan Linton and Nathan Dahlstrom. Interment was made in the Palacios Cemetery where her husband was laid away several years ago. The beautiful floral offering and such a group of friends who gathered at the church bespoke love and esteem more eloquent than words.
To you who grieve, let me say: Edna Weekly Herald (Edna, Tex.), Vol. 39, No. 8, Ed. 1 Thursday, January 3, 1946, newspaper, January 3, 1946, page 1.

Jackie Hudson Cate passed away on October 6, 2022 after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was at peace and surrounded by family when she crossed into her heavenly home. Jackie was born on September 25, 1958 in Shreveport, LA to John Boris Hudson and Juliet Ann Hudson. Jackie grew up in Victoria, TX. She attended Baylor University in Waco, TX, where she met her husband, Bain Cate. Jackie and Bain were married on May 31, 1980. They lived in Houston, TX and Wichita, KS, and moved to Victoria, TX in 1991 to be close to Jackie's family. Jackie spent many years as a stay-at-home mom raising five children. She loved the joy and fun of nurturing children, especially young babies. In 2000, Jackie, her father, her brother, Don, and Richard Carbonara, opened JHC Insurance Agency. Jackie became a part-owner of the business and worked tirelessly to provide quality insurance services to the people of Victoria, its surrounding counties, and locations across Texas up until her death. Jackie was a devoted and loving mother, extending her love to several children and adults, adopting them as her own. All were welcomed into the Cate house and at a moment's notice she could provide whatever the occasion demanded, whether that be a warm meal, a bed to spend the night, or a pile of Nerf guns. In her last years, Jackie enjoyed traveling to visit her friends, adult children, and grandchildren. The pinnacle of her travels were her trips to visit the Golden Triangle in India and the Holy Lands of Israel. Jackie was a woman of great faith, joy, and tenacity. She was a witness for Christ to anyone she encountered, even to her final days. Her legacy will live on in the lives of her children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and all she welcomed into her home and family. She will be remembered as Mom to her children and Grammy to her grandchildren.
