Robin, our beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed away on Monday, February 20th at age 44 in Irving, Texas.

Robin was born in San Angelo on October 24, 1978, to Sharon & Robert Evans. She was the second of three children and spent her childhood in San Angelo. She earned her bachelor's degree from Angelo State University.

Robin married Elijah Dan Williams in Morton, Texas in 2003 and held managerial finance positions in Oklahoma, California, Missouri, Utah, and South Carolina as Elijah received promotions that required their relocation.

Finally, they returned to Texas and settled in the Dallas - Ft. Worth Metroplex where Robin had the opportunity to advance in her financial career as Senior Vice President of Credit at Susser Bank. At the time of her death, she was extremely pleased with her work, and she deeply admired her mentors, Bennett Carter and Sam Susser, and looked forward to her future with Susser Bank

Robin loved beach getaways and she and Elijah took one or two every year. Together, they proved their unique ability to renovate and decorate homes as they moved around the country. Many friendships endured these moves.

Robin had a sense of style that made it possible for her to be comfortable in any situation. She had the unique ability to go from beach to the pool table to the boardroom and occasional gala. In part, she owed her confidence to then CEO, Dal DeWees, who sought her out for her first banking position as a drive thru teller.

Her enthusiasm for life made it difficult for most to believe that her entire adulthood was challenged by a very rare life-threatening illness. We credit Dr. Christopher Vanderzant and Dr. G. S. Ramesh for early diagnosis of this disease. She and Elijah aggressively managed and fought her disease throughout their marriage. Their greatest support came from Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, where she was treated and followed by a team of elite specialists led by Dr. James Church, who is now retired.

Robin was preceded in death by her beloved father, Robert Evans, grandmother, Lee Green, grandfather, Fred Green, step grandmother Thelma Green, stepfather, Lee Sanders, half-brother Steven Evans and Uncle Michael Green.

She is survived by her sister and best friend, LeAnn Hays, her mother and champion, Sharon Evans Lykins, her loving stepfather Doyle Lykins, brother, Gerrit Van Dyl, ex-husband and friend Elijah Williams, nephews Willam Van Dyl, Ethan Ludwig, Grayson Hays & Christian Hays, aunt, Patty Jones (Robert), and namesake Robin Gulvin. Her stepbrothers Dirk Lykins (Melody), Devin Lykins and Chris Lykins (Tiffany) half-sisters Jenny Rasmussen (Lyle) and Julie Ellison (Gary.} She is also survived by the children and grandchildren of those listed above.

Services are pending and will be posted here as soon as a date is established.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio, to support its Familial Adenomatous Polyposis research. MDAnderson also has an outstanding reputation for treatment of this disease.

Cheri Ann Jenkins Holt passed away on Sunday, February 19, 2023 in her home in San Angelo, Texas after a hard fought battle with cancer.

She is survived by her children, James Holt and wife Tina, David Holt and wife Stephnie; her grandchildren: Austin Holt, Brenden Holt; Mackenzie Holt, Hailey Holt; Erica Booth, Tabitha Mills, and Samantha Mason, her siblings: James Bass Jr. and wife Martha, Leslie Bass Gossett and husband Greg, John Bass and wife Jeannie, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her mother Irene and stepfather Jim Bass, and her father Glenn Jenkins.

Cheri was born December 2, 1946 in Newport News, Virginia to Glenn and Irene Jenkins where shortly after her birth the family made their move to San Angelo, Texas. Here, her loving mother, Irene Jenkins created and provided a warm and welcoming home for Cheri and all of her neighborhood Santa Rita Elementary and Lee Junior High friends. It was during this time that many cherished memories and life-long friendships were created. These friendships would develop into lasting treasures that would have an amazing impact on Cheri.

In the summer of 1962, Cheri's family would graciously grow when her mother Irene married Jim Bass and created the original "Bass Bunch". Cheri hit the jackpot and no longer was an only child with the addition of Jim, Jr, Leslie, and John. She and Leslie fast became "sisters" being in the same grade and trying their best to outfox their parents. Their scheming was only successful a couple of times before Cheri and Leslie realized that parents compare notes! Then off to Central High School Cheri would go creating more friendships and memories for all through clubs and organizations with the Central Class of 1965. During this time, she would be a part of the homecoming court and team up with her sister Leslie and friends in many adventures.

After graduation, Cheri attended San Angelo College (Angelo State University) and shortly after started her job of "mother" with the birth of Jamie. She then moved to Dallas and managed apartment properties where she met and married a fellow classmate, Greg Holt. The three would then become four with the birth of David while living in Austin. Together they would venture back to San Angelo building a loving home, traveling and enjoying many adventures and vacations together with the boys, Jamie and David. These adventures had Cheri playing an active role in the Santa Rita PTA, entertaining and hosting family events, and developing a passion for cooking masterful gourmet meals.

Her next chapter would lead her down the road of real estate where she became an agent and learned the business during her 25-year career. Throughout this time, Cheri developed a keen eye for elegant and classic fashion that inspired her magnificent taste and pizzazz.

The family is most grateful to the friends and companions who created a loving atmosphere for Cheri in her final weeks. A special thank you to Dr. Cheruku and the staff at the oncology department at Shannon Hospital, Dr. S. Burkes, all the wonderful staff from Comfort Keepers, and Hospice of San Angelo.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Service for Cheri which will be held on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at 1 :00 pm at Harper Funeral Home and Crematory, 2606 Southland Boulevard, San Angelo, TX 76904.

Memorials may be made to any charity of your choosing.

James "Jim" Earl Hill, 74, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Thursday, February 16, 2023, after a 15-year battle with cancer. James continued to enjoy his life and remained active until his last few days. His son and sisters were blessed to be at his bedside. Throughout his ordeal, he was more concerned with their comfort than his own. He retained his sense of humor and made his caretakers smile until the end.

James was born in 1948 in Hale Center to J. R. and Grace Hill. He graduated from Hale Center High School in 1966 where he excelled in Agricultural. He went on to study at West Texas State University in Canyon. In his early career he worked on the Bivens Ranch in Tulia, and the Hereford Feedlot. He retired as a Livestock Inspector for the US Department of Agriculture after 41 years of service in 2013. He enjoyed his work. It allowed him to travel the United States, an opportunity he might not have had otherwise. He said if he hadn't worked for the government, he would have been a carpenter. He learned construction from his late uncles who were builders, Lloyd "Slim" and George Stephens. Some of his hobbies and interests included fishing, golf, Texas history, the rodeo especially the calf roping, and western art. He was a horseman and outdoorsman before his illness but continued to frequent the sale barn in San Angelo. He also had a special fondness for his cat, DC.

James is survived by his son, Ryan Shipp and his wife Elizabeth Brown of Goldthwaite; his sisters, Della Lubke and her husband Rich of Flower Mound, Marla Finco and her husband John of Garland; his niece, Dr. Graci Finco and her husband Tyler Johnson of Arlington; and his aunt, Mary Stephens Garrison and her husband Tom of Lubbock. He is also survived by many cousins, and good friends including his friend of 57 years, Richard Stanley of Levelland.

James is preceded in death by his parents J. R. and Grace Stephens Hill; his grandparents, Lloyd and Myrtle Grace Stephens of Hale Center and James and Earl Hill of Ranger, Texas.

James loved Jesus and the cowboy way of life. He was a member and supporter of the Jerusalem Community Baptist Church in Hale Center where his cousin Terry Wright and wife Sally are Pastors. James supported many charities and organizations including St. Jude Children's Hospital, Meals for the Elderly, The Childhood Leukemia Foundation, and the Turning Point Ministry of Dr. David Jerimiah.

The family wants to thank his doctors, nurses, and caretakers at Shannon Hospital in San Angelo, and UT Southwestern in Dallas and a special thanks to West Texas Rehab Hospice in San Angelo.
