Austin-Pamela Christine Brandes Tackett was born in El Campo, Texas, on August 4, 1945, and died on Friday, March 26, 2021, following a lengthy and courageous fight against Alzheimer’s. Pam was raised in Ganado, Texas, and had a wonderful childhood, which she talked about frequently. Pam was the Senior Class President and Salutatorian of her 1963 high school class in Ganado. Pam was the Homecoming Grand Duchess for the GHS Indians her Senior year, served on the high school “Chieftain” Annual staff and student council all four years of high school, and participated in the band, the drama club, and the American Legion Girls’ State. Pam attended Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas before transferring to and graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration in the Fall 1967. Following her graduation and marriage to Steve in September 1967, Pam began her 45-year career in public education in 1968 at the Texas Education Agency (TEA), working as a secretary in the typing pool. Thirty-three (33) years later, Pam retired in 2001 as the Executive Director of the State Board of Educator Certification (SBEC), a Texas State Agency created in 1995 to assume former duties of TEA to regulate the certification and standards of conduct for all public school teachers and educators in Texas. During her years at TEA and SBEC, Pam actively participated in the development and administration of all statewide assessment tests or exams for public school students and public educators. Following her retirement from SBEC, Pam continued her career in public education until 2014 by working as a consultant and one of a dozen or so “Early College High School Coaches” assisting public high schools in Texas to set up and administer so-called Early College High Schools designed to allow students least likely to attend college an opportunity to receive both a high school diploma and either an associate degree or at least 60 credit hours toward a baccalaureate degree. Pam first met her husband Steve in 1961 at a birthday party in her backyard in Ganado celebrating her Sweet 16 birthday. Steve had recently moved to Ganado and was graciously invited to his new classmate’s birthday party. Steve clearly recalls that when they first met, Pam introduced herself and asked him to marry her. Pam, on the other hand, had a different recollection and always called Steve “Mr. Lucky” because she chose to love him. Although Pam and Steve were good friends in high school and thereafter, they did not begin dating until their senior year at the University of Texas. But fate has a way of bringing people back together who are meant to be with one another. Pam and Steve were married in Ganado in September 1967 and had a wonderful marriage of almost 54 years. Following their marriage, Pam worked tirelessly to help support her family, help put Steve through law school, birth and raise two children, build her own amazing career, and become the most loving, thoughtful, and caring person and friend one could ever hope to meet. Pam is survived by her husband, Steve; her daughter Cara C. Tackett; her son, Ross J. Tackett; her beloved daughter-in-law, Melissa; her three amazing grandchildren, William Tackett, Austin Tackett, and Elizabeth (Ellie) Tackett; her brother, Woodrow “Woody” W. Brandes, Jr.; and many wonderful and beloved cousins. Pam is preceded in death by her parents, Woodrow W. Brandes, Sr. and Christine C. Brandes, her grandparents, and all of her many treasured aunts and uncles. Pam was a life-long United Methodist, and Pam and Steve were active members of The Downtowners Sunday School Class and First United Methodist Church of Austin, for the last 38 years, participating in and supporting its many ministries, including Mobile Loaves and Fishes, English As a Second Language program, Appalachia Service Project, Hands on Mission, Feed My People, the Reconciling Ministries Network, and the Four Corners Native American Ministries. A simple graveside service for family and friends is planned for Saturday April 24, 2021, at 11:30 am at the Ganado Protestant Cemetery, County Road 252, Ganado, Texas. A reception immediately following the service will be held in the Fellowship Hall of First United Methodist Church of Ganado, 200 Twin Oaks Blvd, Ganado. A memorial service and joyful celebration of Pam’s life will be held at First United Methodist Church of Austin at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the Endowment Fund at First United Methodist Church of Austin, 1201 Lavaca Street, Austin, Texas 78701, to the Alzheimer’s Association, or to a charity of your choice.

Dolores Ovon Terrell, of Edna, Texas, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at the age of 84. She was born in LaWard, Texas on August 9, 1938, to the late Charles Eugene Fox and Ruth Fitzpatrick Fox. Dolores was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who will be dearly missed. Dolores grew up in Lolita and LaWard on various ranches her dad worked on. She met her high school sweetheart, Bobby Joe Terrell, her freshman year at Industrial High. When she wasn’t busy playing basketball or volleyball, she was running around with her lifelong friends of Delores Jean, Sister, and Betty. On March 17, 1956, she married Bobby Joe and began a 20-year career as a Navy wife. She was very proud to be a Navy wife and loved the travelling and comradery the military offered. Bobby Joe went on to his new station in the Philippines while Dolores stayed behind to finish high school. In August of 1956, she got on a train to travel to San Francisco to catch a boat that would take 3 weeks to reach her new husband in the Philippines. They would be stationed there for 3 years before returning back to the United States with their marriage on solid ground. They travelled all over the United States: Washington state to Florida. They made lifelong friends in the navy that she still kept up with until her passing. When they finally made their way back to Texas, they welcomed their first child, Lisa Gay, in 1964. In 1968, they made their way to Adak, Alaska. Their “little Eskimo”, Tina Gale, was born there in 1968. When they returned to the lower 48, they prepped for their next adventure in Naples, Italy. Dolores travelled alone to Naples with their 5-year-old and baby, and Bobby Joe met her there. The 3-year assignment turned out to be only 9 months. The Vietnam War was in full force. They came back to Virginia for Bobby to finish out his Navy career. Bobby Joe ran a shop for the base and after hours, he and his team worked on POW/MIA wives’ cars for free. Dolores would fix the wives tea/coffee and visit with families while the guys worked. In 1973 they retired from the navy and returned to their roots in Texas, living first in Victoria and then moving to Edna. Dolores filled her days taking care of her family, being a homeroom mom, sewing, and reading. Dolores loved to read and went to the library weekly getting 10-15 books at a time. Bobby Joe had promised Dolores she could get her hair done weekly once he was out of the navy. She got her hair done every Thursday at Mac’s Beauty Salon by Janie until 2017. She went there for her hair as much as for the gossip. NOTHING got in the way of her hair appointment. In 1977, Dolores and Bobby Joe started preparing some family land off of the Navidad to move permanently there. Dolores decided that since her kids were growing up and didn’t need her as much, to go to work outside the home. She began a 20-year career with Dr. Joseph Bitter at the Edna Veterinary Clinic working part-time. Dr. Bitter said when Dolores retired, he would too. She retired in 1998. In their retirement, they loved on their 5 grandchildren, visited the Grand Canyon, and pursued hobbies. Dolores faced off breast cancer, macular degeneration, and open-heart surgery. In December 2012, she faced one of her biggest challenges when Bobby Joe passed away after 56 years of marriage. As her health and eyesight continued to fail, she moved to Victoria in 2014 to be closer to her daughters. Dolores loved living at Morada Independent Living. She loved socializing, playing cards, and running around town with her girls. In the last 3 years of her life, she lost most of her vision and was on oxygen. She stayed in her apartment, still loving to read, but now listening to books on tape and getting her hair done on Thursdays in a little shop in Victoria and eating Twix or Oreos. Dolores had a life full of adventure and love. She loved to laugh, long and hard. Dolores is survived by her daughters, Lisa Alpeter (Mark) and Tina Terrell; sister Shirley Melvin (Maurice) and brother James Fox (Lydia); grandchildren: Sara Alpeter, Morgan Garcia, Meghan Garcia, Ryan Alpeter, and Matthew Garcia; great-grandchildren: Addison Benitez, Mason Benitez, and Rylee Garcia and various nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Ruth Fox; and her husband, Bobby Joe Terrell. Pallbearers will be Matthew Garcia, Ryan Alpeter, Mark Alpeter, Henry (Buzzy) Whitley, Dennis Whitley, and Trevor Kirgan. Visitation will be held on Friday, June 16, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Oaklawn Funeral Home Chapel in Edna, Texas. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 17, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. also in the Oaklawn Funeral Home Chapel. Interment to follow in Terrell Cemetery in Edna.

Monday morning, June 24th, at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Asbeck, Mrs. Emma Thornell, a native of Jackson County and a woman who was held in high esteem by her neighbors and friends, passed away following a protracted illness caused by heart trouble. The funeral service was held yesterday afternoon at 3:00 o’clock at the Allen Memorial Presbyterian Church, and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. John Newton. The remains were laid to rest in the Edna Cemetery beside those of her husband, who died in 1922. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Otto Asbeck, H.O. Taylor, H.L. Melton, W.R. Cochran, Carver Good, and Wayne Nowlin. Mrs. Thornell was born in the northern part of Jackson County March 2, 1870, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M.L. Gisler. Mrs. Thornell was an active member of the Presbyterian Church; a woman who enjoyed her church work, and the association of her friends. Throughout her long illness she bore her suffering with Christian fortitude, and her main concern seemed to be that she was causing others inconviences. Fifty years ago last Christmas Day she was united in marriage to Mr. A.M. Thornell of Hallettsville, Texas. For many years they resided at Burlington, Iowa. Since his death Mrs. Thornell had resided in Edna where she enjoyed a large circle of friends. Left to mourn her passing are two daughters, Mesdames J.W. (Viola) Tiedeman of Burlington, Iowa, and Mrs. Phil (Grace) Asbeck of Edna, two grandsons, Paul Baker of the U.S. Navy, and Phil Asbeck, Jr., of Edna; and one great granddaughter, Sandra Asbeck. To these sorrowing ones the Herald extends sympathy. Staples, H. K. Edna Weekly Herald (Edna, Tex.), Vol. 39, No. 33, Ed. 1 Thursday, June 27, 1946, newspaper, June 27, 1946, page 1.

Mildred Fay Tipton, our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend went to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 25, 2021, at the age of 95. She was born in Louise, Texas on November 7, 1925, to the late Ira William Jones and Nola Pearl Goode Jones. Mildred grew up during the Great Depression. Times were hard and everyone worked, including the children. When there was cotton to be picked she often had to miss school to pick. When she did go to school, she and her brothers and sisters walked down long dirt roads or rode double on a bike to get there or to the bus. She always said, “What a privilege it was to get to go to school!” She graduated in 1944 from LaWard High School as Valedictorian of her class of 11. After high school, Mildred secured a two-year contract to teach at the one-teacher, one-room Arenosa School out of Edna. Some of the students walked to school, some rode a little mini bus and one girl even rode her horse to school every day. The school had two little outdoor restrooms and an outside drinking fountain. Her salary was $125 per month. She loved her job and said, “It was unbelievable how quickly the children learned.” A few of her students who are in their 80’s would still write to her and send her cards on holidays. Some would even drop by to see her occasionally. They still called her “Miss Jones.” It was while she was teaching at the Arenosa School that she met her future husband, John Girrard, “Artie Tipton.” She said, “He was tall and handsome with dark curly hair.” They married on March 15, 1946 and celebrated 51 and a half years together. She was a faithful member of the Robison Street Church of Christ. Mildred is survived by her daughter, Rose Volkmer; daughter in law, Donna Tipton; sons, Terry Tipton and wife, Lesli, Bill Tipton and wife, Charlotte, Charles Tipton and Nancy Harris; her loving sisters Helen McKey and Frankie Gerhard and husband Paul all of Edna, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Another member of a pioneer Jackson County family has answered the last roll call and many hearts are sad. MRS. EMMA TRAYLOR, relic of the late MR. JOSIAH CLAIBORNE TRAYLOR, passed away at her home in this city (Edna) Thursday of last week, March, 10th, 1932. She had suffered from heart trouble for several years and this malady caused death to come suddenly, while she was enjoying her family circle some hours before her regular time for retiring for the night. Death apparently came without pain. While the suddenness of death was a shock to her loved ones and friends, there was consolation in knowing that she was spared the suffering that is the lot of many. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, REV. C. H. SPENCE conducting the service at the home. The remains were laid to rest in the Edna Cemetery beside those of MR. (JOSIAH) TRAYLOR, who preceded her to the grave several years. The floral offering was beautiful and profuse. MRS. TRAYLOR’S maiden name was CHARLIE EMMA KEIZER a member of a pioneer and prominent Jackson County family. She was born in this county September 17th, 1859, and spent her entire life here. September 6th, 1875, she was united in marriage to MR. JOSIAH CLAIBORNE TRAYLOR, also member of a prominent and pioneer Jackson County family. He was also a native of this county and lived his life here. Mrs. Traylor was identified with many of the civic movements of the town in its early history, and she was a member of the Presbyterian church for many years. She possessed a cheerful and friendly disposition, and was loved and admired by all who knew her. She was a devoted mother, and in the family circle where her real worth was known, she was an inspiration and object of true devotion. She was the mother of twelve children, six boys and six daughters. She is survived by four sons and four daughters, namely, Messrs EUGENE TRAYLOR of San Angelo; CHAMP TRAYLOR of Los Angles, Calif., JOE BAILEY TRAYLOR of San Antonio, and BILL TRAYLOR of Refugio; and Mesdames A. C. EGG, S. W. ROGERS and H. B. MCDOWELL and Miss BEULAH TRAYLOR, all of Edna; and also one sister, Miss ELLA KEIZER of San Antonio, is left to mourn her passing.
