Larry David Fluitt of San Angelo, TX went to be with the Lord on May 3, 2024, with his wife Linda at his side. He was 88 years of age. He was born on April 24, 1936 in Burnet, TX, the son of Leland and Lillian Dodd Fluitt. He was the youngest of three children, and was preceded in death by his parents and by his two older sisters, Sue Mallett of Burnet, and Norma Milligan of Austin.

Larry grew up near Buchanan Lake, outside of Burnet, and attended Burnet High School, where he played basketball and baseball. He went on to attend The University of Texas at Austin, and Abilene Christian College, where he was a pitcher on the baseball team.

He met his future wife, Linda Bradford, at church, and they were married on July 10, 1958 in LaMarque, TX. Their first place of residence was in Hitchcock, TX, where Larry worked for a sheet metal company, while preaching part-time. He soon felt God’s calling to become a full-time minister of the Gospel, and at the age of 22, he became the pulpit minister at the Church of Christ in Mason, TX, where they lived for the next five years.

Their sons, David Bradford Fluitt and Kip D Fluitt were born in 1962 and 1966, respectively, and in 1968, following brief preaching stints in Decatur and Keller, the family moved to Sweetwater, where Larry preached at the Lamar Street Church of Christ for 32 years.

During their time in Sweetwater, Larry was an active and respected member of the community, and a tireless worker for the cause of Christ: spreading the gospel, counseling, and ministering to those in need.

Larry’s favorite sport was baseball, and he was able to continue his passion for the game by coaching his sons’ teams for many years, winning numerous city and district championships. He was also a highly respected basketball referee, officiating many district and state championship tournaments, as well as Lone Star Conference games.

In his mid-40’s Larry obtained his aircraft private pilot’s license, as well as a commercial license and instrument flight rating, allowing him to fly commercially, which he did for the USDA as an aerial crop photographer, through his company, Air Photo.

Larry retired from preaching in 2000, and he and Linda soon moved to San Angelo, where they became active members of the Southgate Church of Christ, forging many deep and lasting friendships. Larry served as an elder at Southgate for many years, before stepping down. One of the great joys of living in San Angelo, was being close to Brad, their daughter-in-law Tammy, and grandson, Canon. They particularly enjoyed attending Canon’s sporting events.

Also during this time, they were blessed with an additional daughter-in-law in Kip’s wife, Frances, and two more grandchildren, Mia and Jack.

Larry is survived by his wife of 65 years, Linda Fluitt; his oldest son, Brad, and his wife Tammy, of San Angelo; his youngest son, Kip, and his wife Frances, of Austin; and his grandchildren, Canon Fluitt of San Angelo, Mia Fluitt of College Station, and Jack Fluitt of Austin.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, May 13, 2024, at 10:00am, at Southgate Church of Christ.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to San Angelo Christian Academy or Southgate Church of Christ.

Our marvelous Mona Bell met her creator on May 6, 2024. She blessed our lives for 89 wonderful years full of love, wisdom, wit, and compassion. She opened her arms to all walks of life, and never met a stranger. Simply put: To know her was to love her. A legendary matriarch, companion, and confidant to her family and friends… Mona was the definition of “cool!“

Mona Bly Hicks was born to Jewel Ditmore and Cliff N. Bly on April 29, 1935 in San Angelo, Texas. She attended Lake View HS where she cheered and excelled in sports. She was honored to be Lake View’s “Coming Home Queen” twice. She married Bobby Gene Hicks in 1951, and was blessed with two children, Monette (in 1954) and Michael (in 1958). Attending Immanuel Baptist Church since birth, Mona and Bobby chose to raise their children there and made many lifelong friends. As a young woman, she taught Sunday School and was very involved in the girls’ youth group. She was a very strong and faithful Christian her entire life, always leading with a level head and love. She was long on common sense, always telling you like it is… something that perpetually led us on the right paths.

Mona opened the Carriage when she was 34, a place that nurtured countless friendships and fabulous fashion… two things that were very important to her. She loved what she did, and the Carriage’s success was her dream that she saw realized! Although she loved the success of her business, the happiest day of her life was when she became a grandmother! Bobby and Mona‘s world revolved around their grandchildren. From babydolls and bugs to mudpies and Malt-O-Meal, and singing old songs from the past, “Going to Grandmommy‘s“ was Heaven on Earth! There was just nothing better! Mona blessed her grandchildrens’ lives with deep wisdom and loving guidance. Her favorite thing was to stay up all night, laughing and visiting with her grandchildren. You could never leave her house at a decent hour, nor did you really want to! She was love. She retired at 56, and spent the rest of her days working in her beautiful backyard, and keeping the Diet Dr. Pepper Corporation in business!

Mona was preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Bobby Gene Hicks, her parents, Cliff and Jewel Bly, and her brother, Cliff Bly. Left to cherish her memory are: her daughter, Monette Hicks Harris and husband, Hilton Harris, her son, Michael Lee Hicks and wife, Melissa Hicks, her grandchildren: Courtnie Harris Isbell (Cody), Tesa Thompson (Bryan), Tay Harris (Travis), Hunter Hicks (Kaley), and her great-grandchildren: Will Wagner, Kennedy and Blaine Foster, Bly and Beck Harris, Hudson Hicks, and Vera Reign Schneider. She is also survived by her dearest and devoted friend, Jody Jett, and extended family Candis Hicks.

Our Mona Bell will go down in the history books as the best mother, grandmother, confidant, protector, poet... and our biggest fan! She always had and always will own a piece of our hearts. She is forever in the arms of Jesus and her own grandmother, Ma Bly, and we all now gain the gift of a new guardian angel.

A private service will be held for Mona. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects and sign the register book in her honor at Johnson's Funeral Home.

“What though the odds be great or be small,

Old Lakeview high will win overall,

while her loyal sons go marching onward to victory!“

She attended schools in both Del Rio and San Angelo. She met and married Eusebio Flores and had four children. Bertha took on the role of wife and caretaker very easily, taking care of her children, other children, and her mother as she aged. Her nurturing was also evidenced in her ability to grow plants and take care of animals ranging from cats, dogs, and birds to horses and goats. She loved music, dancing, and cooking, especially during the holiday season making the best tamales in Texas. She also enjoyed knitting, sewing, and being around people. It was not uncommon for Momo to end her conversations with the words "I love you!" and "Come back to see me."

Michael "Mike" Lee Sanders, 71, passed away Sunday ,April 21, 2024, in San Angelo.

He was the son of Valeta Landrum Sanders and Harold Lee Sanders. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Marilyn Sipes Sanders; his brother, Steve Sanders and wife Candy Sanders; as well as his son, Aaron Sanders and wife, Jackie Sanders; and their daughter, Rachael Lee Sanders, of San Diego California.

Mike grew up in Mt. Pleasant. He graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School in 1970. A few years later, he joined the Navy and completed training as an Air Traffic Controller. His first duty station was Fallon, Nevada. The second assignment was Adak, Alaska where he met Marilyn, also a Navy Air Traffic Controller. It didn't take long for them to decide marriage was for them. In 1976, they flew back to San Angelo to tie the knot at the First Christian Church on Chadbourne St. Returning to Adak, they continued their jobs in the Navy until Marilyn was stationed in Beeville, and Mike became a civilian and attended college. Marilyn completed her Navy tour and they returned to Mt. Pleasant where their son Aaron was born.

Mike decided to rejoin the Navy and was given an assignment he had always dreamed of; Instructor at the Air Traffic Control School in Memphis Tennessee. When that teaching tour was complete, the USS Dwight D Eisenhower, an air craft carrier out of Norfolk, Virginia was his next duty station. Then after a short tour in Telford Pennsylvania, he went back to the USS Eisenhower. Naval Air Station, Kingsville was his next duty station and then back to the Eisenhower for his final tour of sea duty. NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia, was his last duty station, from which he retired in 1997.

Mike started out in the Navy as an enlisted E-1 and rose through the ranks to retire as an officer with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He was especially proud of the time served on the carrier, first as an enlisted petty officer, then as a Senior Chief and finally as a Division Officer. The numerous years (8) spent on the "Ike" gave him many stories to share about the places in the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and even the Falklands that the Eisenhower was assigned to patrol.

While serving in the Navy, Mike continued to further his formal education by earning a Master of Science Degree from the University of Arkansas. He was a longtime and avid Arkansas Razorbacks fan. He loved to watch college baseball and football, especially his "HOGS". Since the 60's, the Dallas Cowboys have been a close second in his love for sports teams. Reading was another love of his life. In the last 6 years, he'd read 600+ books that were on his Kindle. He often wrote meaningful quotes from various authors in his collection of notebooks. Besides reading and sports, Mike was a great cook. He liked to bake; one of his specialties was his sourdough bread that everyone wanted!

Mike was a pocket knife collector. His favorite was the Bulldog Brand-Handmade knives manufactured in the USA during the 1950-90's. His collection of knives was labeled, cataloged, inventoried and displayed. Many happy hours were spent going over new additions, polishing, researching, and always looking for just one more.

In their younger years, Mike and Aaron loved the sport of baseball. Aaron loved playing baseball and Mike spent time helping Aaron hone those skills. Mike was proud of Aaron's sports achievements and loved watching him play.

Mike loved his granddaughter, Rachel. He was in awe of Rachel's singing talent. It always brought a smile to his face when he watched her U-Tube performances showcasing her beautiful voice.

Mike fought a short battle with cancer before it took him. He knew how devastating cancer could be and was a long time and generous contributor to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
