Marty Kernan Dawson, 66, went home to be with the Lord following a brief illness at 1:07 pm on November 11, 2019 at Shannon Medical Center. He was born on July 15, 1953, in Hobbs, New Mexico, the son of Olan “Larry” Layton Dawson and Bobbie Lawanda Jones Dawson (Graves).
He attended Lovington Schools through his junior year of high school and completed his high school education in Houston, TX. He returned to Lovington to marry his junior high sweetheart, Renee Hancock, on July 31, 1972, with the couple making their home in Houston, TX. Marty graduated from an area police academy in 1973 with active service in the Rosenberg and Hobbs Police Departments and later the Lea County Sherriff’s Department. He was highly skilled in firearms qualifying as a Distinguished Expert Marksman. Upon leaving law enforcement, Marty enjoyed a career in the Hobbs-Lovington oil and gas industry working as a mud-engineer, landman, and various supervisory positions. As a master wood-working craftsman, he and his wife ran their own business for a season creating beautiful, high-quality cabinets. He retired in 2014 and moved to San Angelo, TX to focus full-time on his role as “Poppy”.

He loved fishing, hunting, and golfing and was a member of PaulAnn Church. Many know that he created the sweetest melodies on the guitar but may be unaware that his skill was self-taught and that he played by ear. However, by far, his favorite pastime was simply being with his family whom he loved dearly.

He was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother, Willie Pearl Jones, whom he affectionately called “Mama Jones”; his father, Larry Dawson; and his mother, Bobbie Graves.
Marty is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Renee Hancock Dawson; daughter, Lisa Price and husband, Sterling of Sonora, TX; daughter, Mandy Osborne and husband, Michael of San Angelo, TX; grandchildren Makinna Price, Sarah Osborne, and Dawson Osborne of their respective homes; brother, Jay Douglas Graves of San Angelo, TX; and sister, Nancy Barfoot of Brandon, Mississippi.

On November 13, after more than 97 years of blessing all who knew her, Elene Wilson passed peacefully from this life to her heavenly home.

Elene Dora Wilson, the second of two children of Arch and Pansy Mae Rickabaugh, was born April 3, 1922 in Silver City, Iowa.

In 1938 Elene and her parents moved to San Angelo. Elene excelled in her classes at San Angelo High School and soon became friends with many of her classmates. Under Elene's picture in the yearbook, is the quote, "to know her is to love her, and love her forever."
After High School, Elene attended San Angelo College where her physical beauty was recognized when she was named most beautiful both years. According to entries in her annual, her outward beauty was minuscule compared to her beautiful spirit.
After college, Elene worked at the Presbyterian Church for Dr. Wood. Some speculate that Dr. Wood was playing matchmaker when he asked Ralph Wilson, who was traveling by train to join his Air Force regiment in Omaha, to "look after" Elene on the train as she traveled to visit her sister in Iowa. That trip was the beginning of a beautiful lifelong romance.

Elene and Ralph married March 15, 1946. By their fifth anniversary they had been blessed with three daughters. They celebrated 62 years of loving companionship before Ralph's death April 17, 2008.
After they married, Ralph attended SMU law school while Elene served as his unofficial legal secretary and research assistant. They continued their working relationship throughout their marriage. Elene served as his partner and kept the financial records for many of Ralph's business ventures.

Elene was a consummate seamstress. She enjoyed designing and sewing beautiful wardrobes for her daughters. The girls seldom attended an important event in "store bought" clothing. It wasn't until she gave up sewing to spend more time with Ralph that the girls truly recognized the blessing they had been given through Elene's skills as a seamstress. At eighty-eight, her final major sewing project was creating all the bedding, including curtains, lamp shade, blankets and sheets for her great granddaughter's nursery.
Elene's family grew with sons-in-law, grandchildren, and great­ grandchildren. She loved each role and became affectionately known as Nannie. She blessed the second and third generation with her love, wisdom, humor, optimism, and strong Christian faith. Her family will cherish her memory and tell and retell Nannie stories enabling future generations to recognize a "nincapoot," how to "strip the poka," and the the need to "buckle up winsocky."

Left to treasure the many blessing bestowed upon them by Nannie are her daughters Barbie Dunagan and husband, Michael, Marilyn Wilson and fiancée, Truett Smith, Carolyn Nelson and husband Harold, nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Nannie loved her nine grandchildren unconditionally. She said many times holding them and watching them grow was a joy beyond words. In Nannie her grandchildren, Jeremy White and wife Sarah, Alice Hildebrand and husband, John, Ashley Gordon and husband Chris, Andrew Logan and wife, Robin, and Parker Dunagan saw a reflection of God's goodness and grace.

Her six great grandchildren, Mara and Emory White, Hannah and Hayden Hildebrand, Betsy Dan Gordon, and Walter Logan believed she was an angel on earth.
Also giving thanks for her legacy and gentle spirit are her many nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews, and many friends of all ages.
The family is forever grateful to Janice White, Elsa Cantu, and Lori Reyna who provided loving care to Elene the last 16 months of her life.

A celebration of Elene's life will be held at the First Baptist Church in San Angelo, on Friday, November 22, at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the First Baptist Church, San Angelo Area Foundation, Hospice of San Angelo, or a charity of your choice.

Margie Williamson Hensley, our beloved Wife, Mother, Mom, Grandma, and Friend went home to be with her Lord, and Savior on Sunday, November 17, 2019 covered in the prayers of her friends, and family.

Margie was born on April 1, 1933 in San Angelo, Texas to L.A. "Dock", and Elsie Reinhardt Williamson.
Margie met the love of her life, Roscoe S. "Bud" Hensley on Oct. 16,1949, when she was a junior in San Angelo High School. After being discharged from the service in Dec. 1949, Bud went to San Angelo College while waiting for Margie to finish, and graduate San Angelo High School in 1951. One week after their graduations Margie, and Bud were married on June 2, 1951 in Park Heights Baptist Church with the Rev. Beryl Lovelace officiating. God blessed them with four Sons, and they celebrated 57 loving years of marriage.

A cherished part of Margie's life was her relationship with her Lord, and Savior, and being a Christian friend to many. Margie considered the most important role in her life as that of being a Wife, Mother, and Grandmother; she believed her Sons were her biggest achievement, and success; Psalms 127:3, "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, and children are a reward from Him". She dearly loved her Husband, Sons, Daughters-in-love, four Grandchildren, and 7 Great Grandchildren more than life itself. Her family was her life. She was so proud of her family, and all their accomplishments. Margie went to Stephen F. Austin elementary as did all of her Sons, and she cherished all of the football, and baseball games her Sons played in; Stephen F. Austin, Lee Junior High, and the Bobcats. She especially loved when her husband Bud was their coach of the Austin Bulldogs, and Gray-Y Little League baseball, and football. She also was very proud when they became members of the Bobcats, her Alma Mater.
After Margie's four Sons were all in school, she went to work at the Credit Bureau of San Angelo as the Collection Supervisor and worked there for 13 years. Margie was a member of Park Heights Baptist Church 55 plus years where she enjoyed being on the benevolence comm., being a greeter, and singing in the choir. She, and Bud joined Glen Meadows Baptist Church in November 1998 where she presently is a member. Margie loved being a member of Glen Meadows choir and being a part of establishing the choir library. She loved her Tuesday morning Bible Study Class, working in the Church office on Wednesdays, being a greeter, she loved her Joy Sunday School Class, and being one of the Banner Ladies at Glen Meadows.

One other thing Margie was proud of, and instrumental in was her 1951 High School Class Reunions, celebrating their 50th in 2001.

A big enjoyment for Margie was traveling in the motorhome with Bud, and their poodle, Brandi.
Another big enjoyment for Margie was when she, and her husband Bud built a home on 5 acres in 1997 where they enjoyed the serenity of sitting on the porch watching God's creations.
Margie was preceded in death by her beloved husband Bud on April 29, 2008, parents, grandparents, brother, and infant brother at birth.

Left to cherish her "after glow" and memories are her beloved Sons, Sam L. Hensley (Karen), Mike E. Hensley (Patti), Curtis B. Hensley (Cathy), and Guy M. Hensley. Grandchildren, Jeff L. Hensley, Chris M. Hensley (Katie), and their children, Samantha Paige, and Christopher Tyler; Ross M. Hensley and sons, Calvin Ross, and Ryan Charles, and Holly Hensley Hartsfield (Brooks) and their children, Ashton Paul, Avory John, and Alexi Ryann.

The family will have a visitation from 5:00-7:00pm, Wednesday, November 20th at Harper Funeral Home. A Funeral Service will be 10:00am, Thursday, November 21st at Glen Meadows Baptist Church with burial to follow at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Glen Meadows Baptist Church.

"My precious Sons, and my cherished family, I love you so very much, and I am so proud of each one of you".
Don't cry but celebrate my wonderful journey through life. Let your memories bring smiles, and happiness. Know that your gifts of yourselves, and love to me were beyond measure. Be thankful for all the time we've shared, love, and take care of each other, and take comfort in my peace. Above all, may your faith in God be strengthened. Have a happy celebration of family, friends, fellowship, and remembrances in prayer, scripture, and music, Till we meet again, know your Dad, and I love you, and will be smiling down, and waiting for you with open arms.
Your Mom, and Grandma

Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.

2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.

We are on this earth but a short time A mist, a vapor,
This life is temporary
A brief stopping place before eternity.
