Jacqueline “Jackie” Royce Pattison Chunn passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. Jackie was born to Jack Millard and Dorothy Frances Pattison in Midland, Texas in 1964. The baby of the family, her mother often commented that ‘Jackie was a surprise but has been a blessing ever since’. Known by her family and close friends as fun-loving, Jackie enjoyed life and her extensive family. She was eight years old when her first nephew, Gene, was born and he was her first friend who was a boy. She played clarinet in band, loved dogs and loved baseball. She graduated with a degree in business from Angelo State University and held management positions in various retail and restaurant venues for several years. Jackie also worked for H&R Block and
subsequently for the US Postal Service. She was an avid collector, initially with stuffed bears and later with Fiesta dinnerware. She loved antiques and given her Native American heritage, also collected Indian artwork and jewelry. Jackie met Jeff Chunn in 1992 through a mutual friend. They became great friends and it became a hobby of theirs to shop year-round for antiques and unique gift items for family and friends. Jeff and Jackie also enjoyed baseball and traveled to several major league ballgames including Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals and of course, the Texas Rangers. Halloween was her favorite holiday and so she and Jeff chose that as their wedding day in 2016. Jackie attended Southgate Church of Christ, worked with the college class and World Bible School. She also supported San Angelo Christian Academy (SACA). Jackie is survived by her husband, Jeffrey Alan Chunn, sisters Lynne Lockett and husband Luster of Kerrville, TX, Shelley Anders and husband Mark of Chehalis, Washington, Cyntha Pattison of Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, an almost sister, Nancy Berkas, nephews Gene Smith, Greg Smith and John Mark Anders, nieces Lindsey Anders and Katie Seppolo, many cousins and six great nieces and nephews.

Eugenia (Jean) Cunningham Bolz, better known as Nanny by all, met her heavenly Father on March 1, 2020, surrounded by love, laughter, and comfort. Eugenia was born November 13, 1934 in Miles, Texas, one of four children to Dick and Bessie Cunningham. Her siblings include brother Glenn Cunningham, sisters Vena Benes, and Carolyn Jewell. The family moved to San Angelo and there her father started his business "Dix Key Shop".
She married Steven Bolz on March 13, 1964. Steve was in the Air Force and they were stationed at Elmendorf, Alaska, Karamursel, Turkey, and Pensacola, Florida. Wherever they were stationed, Jean worked a variety of jobs including the Aero Club in Alaska and the Officer's Club in Turkey. She and Steve enjoyed bowling. After Steve's retirement from the Air Force, they returned to San Angelo where Jean worked at Ridgeway Florist.
Nanny never met a stranger and her quick wit could bring a smile to everyone "Amen, brother Ben, shot at a rooster, hit a hen". Her love and devotion to her family was undeniably her greatest gift that extended to all of her nieces and nephews. She also had a great love for all God’s creatures.
She is survived by daughters Melissa (Charlie) Beard and Brenda (Rick) Lorey; grandchildren Kim (Levi) Razics, Cassandra (David) Martinez, Clinton (Heather) Everhardt, Aaron (Aisulu) Everhardt, Trisha (Travis) Britton and Charles and Molly Beard; great-grandchildren Angel, Donavan and Jasmine Martinez, Tresint and Gissele Everhardt, Kaden and Yasmina Everhardt and Luke and Willow Britton. She was welcomed at Heaven’s gates by her husband of 53 years, Steven Bolz, son James Everhardt, her parents, and her siblings and their spouses; Glenn (Lois) Cunningham, Vena (Jimmy) Benes and Carolyn (Wallace) Jewell. Upon her arrival to Heaven, we’re sure every door and every gate has been unlocked.
