Randy Don Gibbs, son, brother, uncle, friend, was born on July 30, 1956 in Brady, Texas. He was the first son of his parents, but was quickly followed by two beautiful sisters and one smart little brother. He had a good childhood and even though he did not come from the richest of families in wealth, he came from one very rich with love. Randy and his siblings were taught from a young age that hard work pays off and that you get out of life what you put into it. They spent their younger years getting up at the first peek of sunlight to go feed and take care of their horses, even when that meant heading out in the freezing cold to break ice and feed or in the blazing Texas heat, they were there to give what the horses needed. Their dedication to these animals showed that they have a selfless way of loving and giving always. This is a trait that Randy was known for. Uncle Randy (as most know him) was the quietest of the 4 without a doubt. He was often seen sitting back just observing and taking it all in, listening and smiling as the rest of our talkative family gabbed on and on. He was a man of few words, but a huge heart, and warm smiles. He was the protector of the siblings and filled the big brother role well, always setting a good example of what hard work and selflessness was. His nieces and nephew would describe him as the uncle that was always at Gran's ready to enjoy time with family, help work on cars, dig things out of the old garage for them to play with, helpful with the horses out back and willing to play with the grandbabies in the den. He didn't have his own children, but he enjoyed his time with all of his nieces, his nephew, and later their children too.

Randy spent his life working in construction. He held long hours and was never afraid to put in the time and effort it took to get the job done. In that work he would be described as dutiful, tireless, and tough. When he wasn't working, he enjoyed spending time working with racehorses. Randy spent many of his young adult years at G. Rollie White Downs, the American Quarterhorse Racing Track in Brady, Texas. He and his father Donnie shared this love of horseracing and spent a lot of their time breaking and training race horses there. You could almost always find them at the track on race days and really any other day in between. One of his nieces recalled fondly visiting the track as a young girl and Uncle Randy made a makeshift swing seat out of a horse bridle in which he would hang from the pole of the round horse walker and she would ride it round and round as the horses walked in the circle. He really was a great uncle, she shared.

In Randy's later years, he moved back to his hometown of San Angelo where the rest of his family resided. He lived with his mother, Ruth where the two of them would sit, read the paper, and enjoy coffee and the best gravy & biscuits known to man together in the mornings, around the little round table in the kitchen. The two of them had a very special bond and were always a package deal, always attending family functions together. Where you found Gran, you could always find Uncle Randy too. He helped take care of the family's childhood home where we would all gather for holidays and just time together.

Randy was a handsome cowboy in every sense of the word. On the rare occasion that you could find him without the long work day's dirt on him, he would dress up in his button up shirts, boots, jeans and cowboy hat, looking dapper for sure. But one thing that always stood out were his striking blue eyes. There's a song about the bluest eyes in Texas, and it is possible that those eyes belonged to Randy Gibbs. They were the color of the blue Texas skies, so when you look up into that great big blue each day, smile and say a little hello to Uncle Randy, as if that beautiful blue sky is his eyes looking down over you.

Unfortunately, death suddenly took him away from us. It is difficult knowing that with the unexpectedness of his loss, we did not get to tell him goodbye. But we must hold in our hearts that he knew how much he was loved. For those of us left on this earth to mourn the loss of his presence, we must remember that those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard (which he often was on earth with his quiet nature), but always near, still loved, still missed, and very dear. Losing one we love does not mean that we must learn to live without him, but we now live with the love that he left behind. Randy has taken his place in heaven and has been reunited with his parents to live forever in the glory of the Lord. He knows no more pain and has been given his heavenly body where pain and tiredness have gone away. There is no doubt he, Gran and Pa are watching over us, protecting us from heaven, living in the glory of their eternal lives, in the most heavenly place of which we someday will all arrive too.

It is said in 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-14, "Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him."

So, as I already shared, let's take a moment to look up into that Texas sky, as blue as Randy's eyes and smile because Uncle Randy is reflected in those skies as his warmth wraps around each and every one of us today and every day letting us know that he is with us here in our hearts forever.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens at 2:00 PM.

This is the story of Dickie Mace Halstead even though the space of this print could not hold the enormity of his witty personality. Dickie was a creative, fun-loving, and simple, sweet man that was loved, is missed, and will always be cherished. Our “Paps,” as he liked to be called by his grandchildren, “Sunshine,” as he was called by his wife, and Richard by his acquaintances, was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, and a true jack of all trades.

Dickie’s story starts on November 6, 1950, the youngest child to Mason Halstead and Elsie Brasher. Dickie was born in Ft. Worth, Texas. He spent most of his childhood in San Angelo, Texas dreaming of being a rockstar or television actor. He loved music and movies; however, he dutifully joined the United States Navy from 1969-1972. He often told stories of chasing girls, playing board games with the Russians, or visiting the Parthenon in Greece. He was most proud of simply exploring the big world, fighting in the Vietnam War, and being “careful as we went through the Bermuda Triangle.” San Angelo, Texas is where he would meet the love of his life, Bettye Jo Deans. Dickie and Bettye were married at the Methodist Church in Bronte, Texas on July 25, 1975, a date he occasionally forgot. In his younger years of marriage, he worked at numerous T.V. stations, creatively wrote commercials, and worked the camera for the news while raising his first daughter, Vanessa, and attending Angelo State University as a theater student.

In 1984, after their second daughter, Shawn, was born, Dickie and Bettye enjoyed living in the “big city” of Dallas, Texas where he began his own business of commercial painting. His proudest accomplishment was painting the windows of the West End Marketplace in downtown Dallas when it first opened.

Not only was Dickie renowned for his commercial painting skills, he masterfully designed wood products and carpentry that were often sought after. He even designed and made his own magic tricks, so he and his daughter, Vanessa, could perform at local birthday parties and Fiesta del Concho in San Angelo, Texas. Vanessa remembers accompanying him to painting jobs, going ice skating every Saturday, and being measured for a small box “so he could put swords through me and make me disappear.” He fully immersed himself in connecting to his children through movies, especially funny movies with belly-laughing scenes. Shawn recalls roller-blading in the park, once contemplating if “Dad really was the Pringles guy,” or getting VIP access to the pit at the Texas Motor Speedway where he was an event supervisor. Pride seeped from his mustache-smile as he shared his latest celebrity encounter at the Nascar races.

Later in life, Dickie’s grandchildren were his heart and joy. Times spent with Paps building a dog house, going to a wrestling show, coloring at the kitchen table, or going for an ice cream at Dairy Queen every day after school were his most treasured moments. The last 12 years of his life, he endured Parkinson’s Disease, yet continued to try to laugh with family during the holidays, muster the strength to travel for birthdays, and habitually collecting guitars to keep his fingers nimble.

Loved ones that cleared the path for Dickie are his father Mason Halstead and mother Elsie Brasher. Loved ones that will miss Dickie until they meet again are his wife Bettye Halstead of Milford, Texas; his daughter Vanessa Conatser and husband Chris of Allen, Texas; his daughter Shawn Kozlovsky and husband Ricky of Waxahachie, Texas; and his grandchildren Taylor Fuentes, Kadan Conatser, Addison Kozlovsky, Zoey Kozlovsky, and Jett Conatser. His sister Cheryl Turn and husband Kip Turn of Midwest City, Oklahoma and his brothers Ricky Halstead and Jim Halstead of Arizona.

And so the story goes on until we see our Paps and Sunshine again. We love you, miss you, and yearn for the day we join in laughter again.

Virgie “Mimi” Arlene Bailey Doss, 80 years of age of Grape Creek, Texas, passed away peacefully after a hard fight, surrounded by loved ones on February 9th, 2023.

Virgie was born June 19th, 1942, in Scio, New York to the late Clarence and Letha Bailey. She was one of the younger siblings of ten children. Virgie went to a few different schools in New York as well as Texas. She later surprised her family by getting her GED which was one of her profound achievements.

Virgie ran off to Mexico to marry the love of her life, Fountain (F.K.) “Poppy/Papa Kay” Kay Doss on December 12th, 1959. Together they had two children, Tammy Kay and Richard Wayne.

Virgie was a strong believer in Christ and her faith was important to her. Her and F.K. were members of the First Church of the Nazarene since 1984.

Virgie worked at Fred Harris BBQ in San Angelo, Texas. Her and F.K. were partial owners of Chimney Rock Steak House in Grape Creek. Virgie managed The Corner Post in Water Valley, Texas for many years. She then retired after working for a few years as a receptionist at Royal Estates. She was a social butterfly and kept up with many of the friends made during her working years. She had many titles, but her favorite titles were “Mom” and “Mimi”.

Life for Virgie got a little sweeter when she received the title, “Mimi.” Her grandkids were the highlight of her life and she rarely missed anything of their events. She enjoyed watching anything they were involved in and was so proud of all their accomplishments. Anyone she came in contact with, stranger or not, were going to hear a story or two of her grandkids. She might have added in a few “extra” details to make them look even better. Life got even more GREAT when she became a great-grandmother. She could not help herself when it came to playing little pranks on all the grands and greats. They all knew to always check underneath the tail of the rocking horse and watch out for “witching hour.”

Virgie was preceded in death by her parents Clarence and Letha Bailey, husband Fountain Kay Doss, siblings Donna Field, Evelyn Geffers, Gertrude Rogers and Phillip Bailey. She was survived by her daughter Tammy Kay Doss Demere and husband Craig, son Richard Wayne Doss and wife Cindy, grandchildren Whitney Kay Demere Gest and husband Allen, Laci Renee’ Demere Longoria and husband Anthony, Cade Shannon Demere and fiance’ Rita, Justin Wayne Doss and wife Paige, Ashley Nicole Doss Long and husband Mason, great-grandchildren Halli Kay Gest, Jaci Claire Gest, Sloane Elizabeth Longoria, Jaxon Kade Gest, Bryson Quade Long, Tatum Joy Doss, Carter Jett Longoria, Jentry Kate Long, Fallyn Gayle Doss and soon to be baby boy Doss. Her siblings include Lois Sanders, Bonnie Parker, Bub Bailey, Mildred Burns, Frieda Doss along with numerous other family members.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Monday, February 13th, 2023, at San Angelo First Church of the Nazarene, 3354 W Beauregard Ave., with Gary Brown officiating. Burial will be at Grape Creek cemetery following the service. Friends and family are welcome to pay their respects at Harper Funeral Home February 11th and 12th. The family would like to express their thanks to the nursing staff at Encompass and Shannon hospitals, Shandy Childs of Concho Hearts Hospice and Hospice of San Angelo. They would also like to make sure that nurse Ali from Encompass received an extra special thank you for going above and beyond for their mom and Mimi.

SueVaun Haynes Owen's, 80 , of San Angelo went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, February 7th 2023 in San Angelo.

SueVaun was born on September 26,1942 to William and Loraine Haley Haynes in Sanderson Texas . Sue Vaun was raised in Sanderson and graduated from Sanderson High School in 1961.

After high school she worked at the Big Bend National Park and as a Southwestern Bell Telephone Operater in Del Rio. She met and later married the love of her lifetime Frank Owens while in Del Rio and they shared 57 years together and raised two children.

SueVaun was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. She was devoted to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was a member of San Angelo Apostolic Church and loved her church family dearly. She was a person that was quick to hit her knees and pray for someone in need, often waking her family in the middle of the night as she walked the floors talking to God.

After marriage, Sue Vaun was a full time housewife and mother. She loved her grandkids and her dog Bo Bo most of all.

Her greatest enjoyment was watching her grandsons at whatever they were doing. (Except hunting her squirrels) She was quick to tell anyone how great her grandsons were.

SueVaun loved food of any sort. And in fact left this world Hangry over not getting to eat her breakfast or lunch before surgery. She loved to bake sweets and hide them from the boys. Only to enjoy it tremendously when they found them.

She was a collector of pretty things like her porcelain birds and cookie jars.

SueVaun was an artist. She was able to draw beautiful pictures. When she would draw or color her shaking would stop. It was very peaceful to her. She might not sign a legible check but could draw a gorgeous rose. She spent many hours coloring, especially after the passing of her husband .

Her coloring books will be placed on a table at the community center and we would like each person to pick a page she colored as a reminder of the Beauty that life holds.

Things will not be the same without Nana to make the many daily phone calls or fuss over something her boys were doing. SueVauns tremendous love of God and her family will live on in our hearts forever. We will miss her dearly!

SueVaun was proceeded in death by her parents William and Loraine Haynes of Sanderson. Her husband, Henry Frank Owens and Son Brian Dwayne Owens., her brother Haley Haynes.

Mary Evelyn McKinney “Evelyn” passed away on February 7, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones. Evelyn McKinney was born on December 31, 1929 in Eden, Texas to S.E. Stout, Jr. and Mary Emma Garlitz Stout. Evelyn was one of six siblings. She graduated from Reagan County High School at the age of 17 in 1947.

In early 1947, Evelyn went on her first date with R. L. McKinney to dance at the Melody Club in San Angelo. They married June 14, 1947 and danced together for 64 years. When the two danced, the dance floor would clear. The other dancers would step back and watch R. L. and Evelyn jitterbug. Evelyn (Nanny) also loved golf, gardening, and watching birds.

She loved her annual vacations to Ruidosa, New Mexico with her family along with half the population of Big Lake because all the families coordinated their trips together. Many of the vacationers were also avid golfers at the Big Lake Golf Course. Big Lake continues to have an annual golf tournament held in honor of Evelyn McKinney and Alyce Gooch.

Evelyn McKinney loved her family and especially the grandkids and great grandkids. Her title as Nanny was not only to her own grandkids, but to many other kids too. As children growing up in the 50’s, Evelyn’s kids felt like they grew up in a “Leave It to Beaver” setting, complete with the stylishly dressed to the nines Mom.

Music brought joy to Mother’s heart. She knew every song to almost every old hymn or Christmas hymn. She loved her 1st Methodist Church in Big Lake. When she moved to San Angelo and attended Glen Meadows Baptist Church, praising and singing to the Lord brought her to a full state of joy. “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.” Psalm 100:1-2.

The family is so grateful to Lyndale for the care and love they gave Mother. Lyndale embraced her as one of their own and named her “Twinkle Toes” because she was still dancing to the end. After her move to Springs Memory Center two weeks ago, she was renamed “Sassy”. The family is also grateful to them for the care and love they gave her. To Stephanie Melendez, the family would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Stephanie Melendez for the love and care she gave to Mother. Mother adored her.

Evelyn is survived by her three children, R. L. “Pete” McKinney and his wife, Patrice, Cheryl deCordova and her husband, Aubrey, and Lorri Jenkins and her husband, Mike, her brother, Butch and his wife, Sharon, six grandchildren, Rachel Beaver and her husband, Jonathan, Leonadis and his wife, Leigh, Scott Jenkins, Kayla Neatherlin and husband, Blake, Clay deCordova and wife, Shelia, and Emily deCordova, seven great grandchildren, Joshua Beaver, Christopher Beaver, Keira Neatherlin, Jace Neatherlin, Emeline McKinney, Taylor Grassman and husband, Chase, and Matthew deCordova and wife Katelyn, two great-great grandchildren, Cooper Grassman and Adaline deCordova, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband and soulmate, R. L. McKinney, Jr. and her parents, her brother, Seth Stout and his wife, JoAnne, brother Billy Stout, sister, Joyce Johnson and her husband, Roy, brother John Stout.
