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.

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.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society, the Alzheimer’s Foundation, or Cassie’s Place in San Angelo.

Telado Jo Chauncey was born on November 15, 1942. Telado passed away on February 29, 2020.

Born October 14, 1919 in Vance, Texas passed away on Saturday, February 22, 2020, he was 100. He is survived by his wife of 77 years, Evelyn, daughters, Karen White, Vivian Mason and son-in-law Lindy Mason; grandchildren LeeAnn Fitzgerald, Chris Mason and Penney Mason Lewis and grandson-in-law, Aaron Lewis; great-grandchildren Allan and Aleeya Fitzgerald. He was a Veteran of World War II, Korean and Vietnam wars, serving 34 years in the U.S. Air Force.

The family knew him as "Lee", others as "Al" and the Air Force and San Bernardino Unified School District as "Roach". He and one of his sisters lived to be 100, his Father lived to be 104. Lee grew up on a farm. He milked cows, had chores, made some money picking tomatoes in the fields, worked on cars, tractors – a typical mechanic and could do anything you needed done. He worked magic with his hands. He joined the Army Air Corps, which later became the U.S. Air Force. Lee was one of the first recruits sworn into service at Goodfellow A.F.B. in San Angelo, Texas in 1941 along with Admiral Nimitz’s son (picture below). One of his earliest jobs in the Military was as a M.P. (military police). Over the years he told stories about his basic training involving cleaning up the surrounding land to create Goodfellow A.F.B.

Although he planned to marry his sweetheart, Evelyn Davis, the date had not been set. America was becoming actively involved in WWII. Afraid that he would be shipped out to a destination unknown, they decided to get married before he got any orders. Quickly, they prepared to get to married in the living room of Evelyn’s Aunt’s home, unaware that the day was July 4, 1942. Evelyn is currently 96 years old and they have been married 77 ½ years.

Due to vertigo, Lee was unable to become a pilot, as he had always wanted. Instead, he found himself responsible for the repair and maintenance of the airplanes. He took this responsibility very seriously; he knew that his job made the difference whether a pilot would make it back home. His list of aircraft that he worked on is vast and includes (but not limited to) the B-17, B-25, B-29, B-51 and B-52 bombers. He visited many countries during his enlisted time which included Spain, Japan, Thailand, and Greenland. Lee’s 34 year career spanned over World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars. He was nominated for the prestigious award of being “Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force”, during his career, which covered all of the United States. He retired in 1975 at Norton A.F.B. in San Bernardino, Ca..

Retirement was short lived as he began to be a substitute with the San Bernardino Unified School District. His Father urged him to be become a permanent employee, if he was going to work the hours he was putting in and 30 years later, he had his 2nd career under his belt.

Lee was a proud Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather who was always interested in the goals and accomplishments of his loved ones. The last event he attended was his Great Granddaughter’s high school graduation in May 2019. His dry humor and quick wit kept you on your toes. He loved to work on cars, houses, you name it and always held dear his 1954 Chevy Belair, as that was his first brand new car.

He passed away, quietly, at home – where he wanted to be. His family, beloved pets and belongings that held memories of his family, travels and his many accomplishments surrounded him. His treasures were in his love of his wife, Evelyn and daughters, Karen and Vivian. When the grandchildren, LeeAnn, Chris and Penney came into his life his world became more beautiful. Never believing he would live to enjoy Great Grandchildren, he doted on Allan and Aleeya when they arrived and being retired, he enjoyed being more involved with them as they grew up. His riches were beyond words.

Visitation will be held from 6-8 PM, Wednesday, March 4th, 2020 at Johnson's Funeral Home. A graveside service will be held at 11 AM, Thursday, March 5, 2020 at Fairmount Cemetery.
