Vesta was born in Stamford, Texas on September 20, 1928 to Rafe Teague Ferrell and Sarah Jenkins Ferrell. She was the youngest of 7 born in this family. Vesta married O.D. Toney on May 30, 1947 and they had two children, Michael Wayne Toney and Margie Nell Toney Laughlin. Vesta and O.D. were married for over 63 years when he passed away in 2010. Vesta is survived by her daughter, Margie of San Angelo, two grandsons, Chris Trevathan and Ryan Trevathan, both of San Angelo, and several nieces and nephews along with their families.

Vesta was preceded in death by her parents, her son Michael in 1978, five sisters Mildred Harshberger, Velma Sims, Ava Hardin, Vera Vineta Stremmel, Lavern Hill, and one brother Royce Ferrell.

Vesta and her family lived in Los Angeles for 13 years where she proudly claims to have taught herself to drive on the freeways there. The Toneys then moved back to Texas where they lived over 50 years in San Angelo. Vesta was a member of the Church of Christ and worshipped at the Chadbourne North congregation at the time of her passing.

Vesta was a respected and loved resident at Rio Concho Manor for over 10 years. Vesta was a volunteer for Meals for the Elderly in San Angelo and was employed for over 20 years at Ethicon as a supervisor in the Quality Assurance department where she made many lifelong friends.

Vesta lived out her faith in many ways and was a wonderful example of God’s grace and mercy to her family and many others in San Angelo. Being the last living sibling in her family, she was a “second mom” to many of her nieces and nephews and others in the family. She often said she prayed for each of her family members every day, and her words of wisdom and encouragement were so treasured. One of her favorite times was when many of her family would worship together with her. Those sitting next to her would feel her gentle hands reach out and hold their hands during prayers.

While living in California, her sister LaVerne and family lived nearby leading to a special closeness between those two families. But, knowing Vesta, she showed no partiality and loved all her family. Vesta’s closeness to her brother, Royce, was so apparent as she cared for him in many ways as his health began to fail. Vesta loved to travel and made several lengthy road trips with her oldest sister, Mildred. Their special bond started when Mildred helped care for Vesta as an infant. Vesta and O.D. raised several farm animals while living on the edge of San Angelo leading Vesta to become an efficient goat milker and advocate of drinking goat milk. She and Hondo, the donkey, had several interesting days together on the “farm”. Vesta loved her Volkswagons and her dogs!

Vesta will be missed so much, as will her kind and encouraging words. Her guidance and advice helped many of her family through difficult times. Her love for Jesus Christ was so apparent and she lived a full life. Vesta now has a face to put with a holy and beloved name.

II Timothy 4:7-8 describes Vesta’s journey so well

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,

I'm following the path God laid for me

I took his hand when I heard him call,

I turned my back and left it all

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I've found that peace at the close of day

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things I too will miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life's been full, I've savored much,

Good friends, good times, my loved one's touch

If my time seemed all too brief,

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

- Anne Lindgren Davison

Anthony R. Williams ii, lovingly known as "Anthony," was a remarkable young man whose life, though far too brief, was filled with purpose, passion, and promise. Anthony transitioned on January 16, 2026, at the age of 18, leaving an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Arrangements are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Anthony was born May 5, 2007 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was raised in Baton Rouge and San Angelo. He was a 2025 graduate of TLCA where he loved playing basketball. Anthony enjoyed gaming, and anything computer. Anthony is described as a "Gentle Giant" and always polite.

Anthony was a gifted and talented basketball player whose dedication, discipline, and love for the game set him apart. Basketball was more than a sport to him-it was a calling, a source of joy, and a reflection of his character. Through countless hours of practice and competition, he demonstrated perseverance, teamwork, and an unwavering drive to be his best. His talent and work ethic earned him the opportunity to continue his academic and athletic journey as a freshman student at Angelo State University, where he proudly pursued his dreams and represented his family with honor.

Beyond his achievements on the court and in the classroom, Anthony was a young man of heart. He was known for his warm smile, infectious energy, and the ability to uplift those around him. He inspired others not only through his athletic ability, but through his kindness, humility, and quiet strength. Anthony had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and encouraged-qualities that will forever define his legacy.

Anthony was a devoted and beloved son to his father, Anthony R. Williams I, and his mother, Dr. Torri D. Thomas, who nurtured his dreams and stood beside him with unwavering love and support. He was a cherished brother to Ayden R. Williams, whom he loved deeply and protected proudly. As a brother, Anthony was a role model-leading with love, laughter, and loyalty. Anthony is also survived by two uncles, Ruebin Williams and wife Euqua and Corey Thomas; his god-parents, Dr. Dena Owens and husband Rashad and Donald Williams, Jr. and wife Kirsten. Anthony was preceded in death by his grandparents, Joseph R. Williams, Karen Denis Price, Jerome John Williams, and Janice Marie Thomas; and an aunt, Cruzette Williams.

Though his time on this earth was short, Anthony's impact was immeasurable. His dreams were bold, his spirit was strong, and his future was bright. He will be remembered for his determination, his compassion, and the light he brought into every room. His legacy will live on through the lives he touched, the memories he created, and the love that will forever surround his name.

Anthony R. Williams II will be deeply missed and eternally loved. His life was a blessing, his memory a treasure, and his presence a gift that will never fade.

He also faithfully served on the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Committee for 48 years. In each role, his leadership reflected integrity, gratitude, and a deep desire to serve others while pointing his community toward Christ.

Sammy is survived by his loving wife, Jeana Farmer; his children, Tara Kelley and her husband Stephen Kelley, Bill Farmer, Tye Farmer and his wife Kelly Farmer; his ten grandchildren, Braden Williams and wife Karleigh Williams, Abbie Williams, Allie Lopez and her husband Nathaniel Lopez, Bryce Kelley and his wife Skylar Kelley, Bristi Kelley, Ty Casey, Colter Farmer, Jase Farmer, Skylar Farmer, and Slayton Farmer; and his great-grandchild, Kohen Lopez. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Darlene Farmer; brothers-in-law, Bill Donica; Walter Don Hensley and his wife Gaynelle Hensley; and his many nieces and nephews: Judie English, Darla Sanderson and her husband Michael Sanderson, Sharla Abbott and her husband Tom Abbott, Tasha Sullivan and her husband Greg Sullivan, Toby Donica and his wife Heather Donica, and Josh Donica. Also by special friends, Sterlin Gilbert, Cody Crill, Liz Treadwell, Deeann Franklin, and Beverly Allen.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Daisy Farmer; his sister, Carlene English; his brother, Harold Farmer; his brother-in-law, Paul Ray English, and nephews, Paul Wayne English and Stephen English.

Honorary pallbearers include County Judge Lane Carter, fellow County Commissioners, the Deacons of Immanuel Baptist Church, and cherished friends who were always considered family: Gary Tucker, Steve Floyd, Mike Floyd, Bob Crill, Wilson Franklin, and Mark Dunlap.

Visitation will be held at the Immanuel Baptist Church Gymnasium on 90 East 14th Street, in San Angelo, Texas, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, from 4:00–7:00 p.m. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Immanuel Baptist Church on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 10:00 am.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Sammy’s honor to Immanuel Baptist Church or to support The American Liver Foundation. The family would also like to thank the amazing care givers at Concho Hearts Hospice, Dr. Randi Peterson, Dr. Levi Hubble, Dr. Rudy Haddad, Dr. Chris Haddad, & Dr. Victor Garcia Rodriguez for their gracious care in our hero’s last days. You are each Angels on Earth.

Sammy Farmer leaves behind a legacy not measured by years, titles, or accomplishments, but by the lives he touched, the family he built, and the love he gave so selflessly. Though his absence leaves an immeasurable ache, his presence will forever live on through shared stories, enduring values, and generations yet to come.

We rejoice knowing that today, Sammy is fully restored, reunited with loved ones who went before him, and hearing the words he lived his life for:

“He made a difference.”
