Carisa Scaggs (TINK), 49, entered into the gates of Heaven on April 5, 2020, in San Angelo surrounded by her family.

Carisa was born May 12, 1970, in Denver, Colorado to the late Lieutenant Scaggs and Bobbie Scaggs.

She was educated in the Denver Public School System and worked at the transportation system in Denver. She later relocated to Hobbs, New Mexico and most recently to San Angelo.

Carisa enjoyed reading her bible and spending time with God. She loved life and loved spending time with her family. Carisa never failed to affiliate with a church when she relocated. Her former churches are Rehoboth Temple of the Holy Spirit, Absolute Church, and New Jerusalem.

In addition to her father, Lieutenant, Carisa was preceded in death by her grandfathers, W.C. Lewis and Tenio Jones.

She is survived by her two sons, Jeffery Keith Sanders and Dreshon Terell Sanders;her mother, Bobbie Scaggs; five grandchildren; one sister, Lucette Boston and her husband Robert; three brothers, Cedric Scaggs, Patrick Mornes and Johnathan Scaggs; her grandmother, Louise Lewis; and a host of cousins, aunts and uncles.
 

Nelta Jean Jones Kiser, 88 of San Angelo, TX and recent resident of Ballinger; passed peacefully into heaven Saturday, April 4th with family at her side.

There is a public viewing time at Robert Massie Funeral Home on Wed. April 8, from 3 PM until 7 PM. Due to the current health crisis in our community and the directives given by State and Local Governments, we must abide by the directive limiting gatherings to 10 people at a time. A private family graveside service will be held at Fairmont on Thursday, and a Celebration of Life in Nelta’s Memory will be held at a later date for friends and other family.

Nelta was born in San Angelo, November 13, 1931, to parents Myrtle Elliott Jones and Jesse Lee Jones. Nelta had 2 brothers, Roy Lee and E.J Jones and 1 sister Evelyn Sawyer which all preceded her in death.

Nelta graduated from high school in San Angelo and married Marvin Ross Kiser on February 20, 1950. They resided in Carlsbad, NM and El Paso, TX while raising 3 boys, Marvin Gene, Ricky and Randale (Randy) Kiser.

Marvin and Nelta moved back to San Angelo to care for her mother until her mother passed.. Nelta was preceded in death by her husband Marvin and 2 sons Marvin Gene and Ricky Kiser.

Nelta had a love of camping with family, playing card games, fishing, cooking and was an accomplished seamstress, sewing for friends and family, and she loved singing hymns and dancing and music.

While living in San Angelo she was very active in the Art Community and churches she attended.

Nelta attended Emmanuel Baptist Church and also attended Heartland Baptist and Harris Street Baptist where she gave her life to Christ at a young age. She enjoyed helping with the children most of all.

Nelta volunteered at the San Angelo Senior Center teaching art for over 14 years.

She also volunteered at Kendall Art Gallery and showed her art and won many ribbons over the years. She enjoyed donating art to West Texas Rehab and would participate in the Stribling Art Show every year.

Nelta enjoyed attending the Annual Crafts Guild Christmas Event and would sell her paintings of bluebonnets and other pictures she had painted or drawn. She was very gifted in pencil and enjoyed drawing Native Americans.

Nelta had a love of children and cared for many over the years. She opened her house to any family members in need and allowed children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to live in her house.

Nelta was a very independent spirit and usually said exactly what she thought. Dementia set in and it became too difficult to live alone and she chose to move to the Ballinger Rehab and Nursing to be close to her last living son Randy who cared for her during her remaining 3 years of life.

Nelta is survived by her son Randy and wife Margie of Paint Rock, Grandchildren Stephanie Sanchez and husband Fred of El Paso, Tommy Kiser and wife Marisa of San Angelo, Stormi Walker of Ballinger and James Kiser and wife Citlally of Seward, NE.

8 Great Grandchildren Jordan, Andrew, Ian, Eric, Jeweliana, Ethan, Chazz, Johnathan

and 2 Great Great Grandchildren.

There are many other family members and step family by marriage (which are too numerous to mention) she loved and cared for all of them and enjoyed the times she shared with them. Nelta enjoyed the yearly Kiser Reunion and gathering together as family..

Thank you to ALL the Staff at Ballinger Rehab especially to Billie, Valerie, Gabby, Cassandra, Tabitha, Sherri and Tanja and many others who cared for her, giving her a good quality of life.

Also to Jennie and Vickie, who kept her hair, nails and doing activities when she was able, and the kitchen who kept her supplied with vanilla ice cream, her favorite.

To her newest church family First Christian Church of Ballinger who loved seeing her, praying for her and loving on her when she was able to attend, thank you!

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to one of Nelta’s favorite charities, Meals for the Elderly in San Angelo.

Giving the dates of Sister Imelda’s life is easy enough: born Loretta Ann Kenzinger, January 2, 1929; called Home to God: April 2, 2020, and all the dates in between.
But trying to compress the effects of such a big, loving, generous, prayerful heart and life into an obituary is a huge challenge. Not because she drew attention to herself, but because she didn’t. Her smile, words of encouragement, helping where she could (with the dishes up to the day before her departure – though she was not expected to help), her including virtually everyone in her prayers, is a legacy to us all. Some of her favorite causes to pray for were support for the wonderful work Covenant House (Houston) does for the children of the street; protection and help for our missionary friends in India; for those who are striving to keep the Faith alive in their families. These were some of her recent petitions, the tip of the iceberg of her genuine love for all God’s people. In her own words: “I hope to be or service in our Carmel in whatever way I can, and I hope for God’s protection and grace in My Carmelite life of praying for souls until the day of death. For me, Our Lady of Mount Carmel is my Model in my Carmelite life. Mary’s own life on earth was most hidden, while she lived in great love for Jesus. She will intercede for me and I will try to live my life in Carmel in imitation of her own faith, hope and love of the Divine Will.”
Loretta was born in Chicago, but her parents moved to Corpus Christi when she was 8 months old, because her father had a job opportunity there. She loved being close to the water and swimming. While in Texas, her two sisters, Margaret and Mary, and her brother, Martin, were born. At age 10, her family moved back to Chicago because of the war situation. She had completed her 5th grade at Incarnate Word Academy. Loretta always retained her love for Texas.
In Chicago, Loretta attended Saint Kilian’s Dominican Grade School and from there entered Aquinas Dominican High. She chose for her Confirmation name, Clare. It was Saint Clare’s devotion to prayer and the Blessed Sacrament that inspired her. During these years, she enjoyed helping out in her aunt’s flower shop.
WWII deeply affected Loretta, so much so that she seriously thought of joining the military. However, she was too young. She eventually found the best way to help: “As a Carmelite, my vocation touches the Church as I try to be always ready and available in a spirit of prayer to intercede for the needs of all people in the Church.” And not only in the Church, but in the world over. Her favorite game was “What in the World” – which gives information about all the nations of the world. She belonged to God’s “Secret Service” – and still does!
Loretta’s call to Carmel blossomed and on September 5, 1944, she entered the Carmelite Monastery in Allentown, Pennsylvania. It is specially dedicated to Saint Therese of Lisieux (they also share a Birthday: January 2!). Besides being initiated into Carmelite contemplative life and prayer, she learned many a kitchen trick as she began her life-long post in the kitchen: canning, baking and cooking. Her kitchen work was always well seasoned with generosity, goodness, a willing smile, and most of all plenty of love for Jesus and her Sisters.
On June 18, 1950, after years of preparation, Sister Imelda (the name she had chosen), made her Solemn Profession “until death”. Four years later she was chosen to be part of a New Foundation going to the Fargo Diocese (Carmel of Mary, Wahpeton N.D.).
Sister lost her mother, Ann Kenzinger, in May, 1967 and her father, Frank Kenzinger, in June of 1971.
In 1986, the Community in Wahpeton was asked about the possibility of making a Foundation in the San Angelo Diocese. After much prayer, the Sisters agreed. Anyone who felt God’s call could volunteer after weeks of prayer by all. Sister Imelda did not volunteer. She confided later that she thought it might be selfish, because she loved Texas so much! But when one of the original group needed to be replaced, Sister Imelda was asked if she was willing to go. (God works in wondrous ways!) Of course, she agreed.
Sister Imelda found her joy in serving others. She also enjoyed doing artwork and loved geographical and historical books on the Bible and Carmelite Saints. She was gifted in painting and delicate artwork but didn’t spend much time at it. She was a precious Community person, and we thank God from the bottom of our praying hearts for the gift she was and IS to us!
Sister is survived by her sister, Mary Jakubieck, of McHenry, Illinois, and many nieces and nephews.
She will be entombed in the Carmelite Mausoleum of St. Therese's Valley in Coopersburg, (Allentown,) PA.

Arthur (Art) Monroe Scott, often called “Red,” by those who knew him when his hair was red, was born January 17, 1933 in Wichita Falls, Texas. His parents were William and Alma Scott. As a boy, he lived in west Texas mostly on farms during the depression years and World War II. He graduated from high school in Seagraves, Texas in 1951. He later moved to Morton, Texas where he met Betty Lightfoot at church, and they married January 16, 1953. The wedding was a sudden affair as Art had received his draft notice for the Korean War and had to report to the U.S. Army. After his military service, Art and Betty settled down, eventually raising three children, Ronnie, Darryl, and Phyllis. Both Art and Betty spent a great deal of their time caring for, transporting, and supporting each child in all the activities they participated.
After serving in the military, Art began his civilian life working in finance and later in insurance, but his real passion was electronics. He built his first crystal radio set as a high school project, and that began a lifetime in electronics, both as careers and hobbies. In Amarillo he operated a HAM radio, call sign WA5RQV. He also volunteered as a severe weather observer where his mobile radio skill served him and his community well. He once worked for a company where he was responsible for quality testing electronics components for the secure telephones used in the White House. Besides electronics, he also loved woodworking. In his well-equipped shop, he made gun cabinets, china cabinets, headboards, tables, and many other things. The furniture he made for his family are prized possessions.
A great source of love and pride were his many, many, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Both Art and Betty loved doing things for them. They took summer road trips with their grandchildren to place like the Grand Canyon and Washington D. C., and other places. They never tired of having grandchildren and great grandchildren around and always looked forward to their visits. Art often marveled how many there were and how precious each one was. Art loved his family dearly.
Art and Betty were faithful and active Christians. In San Angelo, Art and Betty were members of the Colorado and Jackson Church of Christ which later became Southgate Church of Christ. Art served many years as an elder. He loved the church. He played an important role in getting the new Southgate building built, and watching the congregation grow gave him a great satisfaction. He loved serving God.
In his later years, when Betty became ill, Art devoted his time to taking care of her. When she could not be taken care of from home anymore, he would visit her every day at her care facility. He could be seen sitting and holding Betty’s hand for hours at a time. Betty was the love of his life, and he faithfully cared for her until she passed.
Art is preceded in death by his parents, his wife Betty, and his grandson Jacob Scott. He is survived by his three children’s families, Ronnie and Rosanne Scott, Darryl and Rita Scott, and Phyllis and Terry Gibson. His grandchildren’s families are Jeffery and Stephanie Scott, Wesley and Ani Scott, Courtney and Colby Jones, Brittney and Laramie Daniel, Tiffany and Patrick Keely, April and Jackson Tandy, Jacob’s wife Park Scott, and Timothy and Hailey Gibson. He also had 16 great grandchildren. The largeness of the extended family was demonstrated each Christmas as a stocking with each family member’s name was hung on the fireplace wall in Art and Betty’s living room. Forty stocking in all filled the wall. Art loved his family, and while his home was a place of peace, it was very busy during family gatherings. He will be missed.
There will be a viewing from 8:00 A.M., to 7:00 P.M., Thursday, April 2, 2020 at Harper Funeral Home.
Art’s immediate family plan on having a private ceremony. At a date, yet to be determined, a commemorate service will be held. Memorials can be donated to the San Angelo Christian Academy.
