Rodolfo G. Treviño, 93, of San Angelo went to be with his Lord and Savior on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, in Grand Prairie, TX. Rodolfo was born January 28, 1929, in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico to David and Concepcion Garcia Trevino. He grew up in Acuña and graduated from high school there.

In 1959, they moved to San Angelo, Texas where they made their home for over 50 years and raised four children. He worked for Ethicon as a maintenance foreman until his retirement in 1991.

Proverbs 24:3-4 (NIV) says “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.” As your children, we thank you and love you for all the life lessons you taught us. You will forever be in our hearts.

That not being enough she marched across the street and built Concho Crossing shopping mall. 

She was a lifelong member of Johnson Street Church of Christ church. 

Special thanks to the numerous caregivers who have assisted in her journey. They graciously allowed our mother to live with dignity. Especially Marsha, Annesa and Lisa plus the staff at New Haven Assisted Living and Hospice of San Angelo. A private service will be held.

Ruth Snyder was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She left this world on August 15, 2022, at the age of 65. Her battle with cancer displayed her ability to remain courageous and full of faith in the midst of life’s challenges. 

Ruth was born in Robstown, Texas to Isaac and Eustolia Salas. As the oldest daughter, she was a second mother to her eleven siblings and all those around her. After graduating from Ray High School in 1975, she received an associate degree from Del Mar College in Corpus Christi. Ruth married Randy in 1987, and they moved to Houston and later San Angelo. 

Loved by all, Ruth will be remembered fondly by the many people whose lives she touched. Whether through the delicious meals she made, parties she hosted, or church involvement and volunteer work, her impact on the community will last for many years to come. In addition to dark chocolate, Cher’s music, and European travel, she loved being surrounded by and caring for others. 

Ruth is survived by her husband, Randy; children, Thomas (Sara), Michael (Chelsea), Lindsay, and Rachel (Jay); grandchildren, Ramona and Penelope; and many siblings, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Sharron Lynette Freitag of San Angelo, Texas passed away peacefully on Tuesday August 16th, 2022, at 12:45pm surrounded by her family. Sharron was born in Lubbock, Texas on December 5th, 1943, to James Osburn Ayers and Barbara Rebecca (Boggs) Ayers. She grew up in Dimmitt, Texas but frequently visited her grandparents RC and Ora Boggs in Tankersley, Texas where she met Carl “Pinkie” Freitag. They were married in 1961 and lived in Mertzon, Texas their entire marriage. They had 3 children Lynn Freitag, Janice Douglas, and Lisa Freitag. 

Although Sharron quit school before graduating, she later attended evening classes in Mertzon to get her GED. She worked several years as Cafeteria Manager in the Mertzon school. Her next adventure was working at St. John’s Hospital as a Certified Nurse’s Aide. This inspired her to go to nursing school. She then attended Howard College to get her LVN license and worked several years as an LVN. She went on to go to ASU for her RN license, graduating in 1996 at the age of 52. She worked as an RN at St. John’s, Shannon Hospital, Rivercrest Hospital and Bronte Nursing and Rehab until her retirement in 2005. She took pride in being a nurse and loved having the opportunity to touch the lives of the people she cared for. 

She was a very involved Mother and Grandmother. She never missed a ball game of one of her kids and her house was always full of kids. She got her nickname from her first grandchild Mandy and from then on, all her kids, friends, and every grandchild after that called her Mambo. She loved her family dearly and cherished time with them. 

She was preceded in death by her husband Pinkie, her son Lynn, her grandson Will, her great-grandson Christian, and great-granddaughter Gabriella, her parents, and her sister Toni Fritzler. 
She is survived by her daughter Janice and husband Don Douglas of Mertzon and daughter Lisa Freitag of San Angelo. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren: Mandy Hussain (husband Sam), Quinton Freitag, Kaitlyn Freitag, Annie Freitag, Jennifer Clark (husband Jesse), Taylor Douglas (wife Erin), Cody Bridges (wife Leah), Jamie Jones, Staci Savala, and 22 Great grandchildren. 

A thank you to all the many caregivers in her life this past year, the nurses at Shannon Hospital, Shannon SNF, Encompass Rehab, Dr. Jastrow and Hannah for their care, Hospice of San Angelo, and the staff at San Angelo Home Health who took special care of Mambo. Also, a special thanks to all her family at Rio Concho Terrace. Whether staff or neighbor, she called you all her family and she missed you dearly the last 3 months she had been gone.

Gregory John Economidis, of Flower Mound, Texas, passed away Sunday, August 14, 2022, at the age of 92. He was born September 6, 1929, in San Angelo to John and Mary (Joannidou) Economidis. 

Gregory grew up in San Angelo on West Avenue B attending Fort Concho Elementary, Edison Junior High, and then on to San Angelo High School. He worked at his dad’s café, Riverside Café, in downtown San Angelo when he was young. As a senior in high school, he started working at Montgomery Ward and continued to work there while attending San Angelo Junior College.

In 1954, he met and married the love of his life, Eddie Mae Newman, his wife of 68 years. After their marriage, they built a house on North Garfield Street in San Angelo where they raised their family and lived for 67 years. He retired from Montgomery Ward as Store Manager in 1980. During that time, he also worked various other jobs at different places and times; Highland Grocery with lifelong friends Mike and Johnny Kalaitzes, ran a spotlight at the City Auditorium and Coliseum with his cousin Pete Economidis, a cook at Zentner’s Steak House with his brother Nag, C&J Grocery with lifelong friends Chris and Johnny Kouvelis, and ran the chains at San Angelo Stadium for 51 years. If that was not enough, he coached his son John’s YMCA football and baseball teams (many times to City Championships). In 1981, he started as an appraiser at the Tom Green County Tax Appraisal District and retired from there in 2020 after 39 years. 

Gregory is survived by his wife Eddie Mae of Flower Mound, Texas. Daughter Mary Ann Boyd of San Angelo, and son John Gregory Economidis and his wife Elaine of Flower Mound. Six grandchildren, who were all his pride and joy, Michael Economidis and his wife Christen of Lubbock, Texas; Melissa Nash and her husband Chad of Trophy Club, Texas; Thomas Economidis and his wife Kristen of Seaside, California; James Economidis and his wife Jordan of Northlake, Texas; John Mark Economidis and his wife Jessica of Trophy Club, Texas; and Matthew Boyd of Keller Texas. He had 16 great grandchildren; Eden, Shiloh, Judah, and Simeon Economidis of Lubbock, Texas; Sophie, Eva, and Mia Economidis of Seaside, California; Lucy, Eleanor, Margaret, June, and Peter Economidis of Northlake, Texas; and Jack, Leo, Gabriel, and Lola Economidis of Trophy Club, Texas. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, Harry Economidis and Nag Economidis, and son-in-law Marvin Boyd, who was of great help to Gregory and Eddie Mae over the years. 

To say Gregory was a people person would be a gross understatement! Yes, he loved his family and friends, but truth is he very seldom came across anyone who he did not try to befriend. Gregory had always been a man of faith, but in March 1986, he came to know Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior. If you knew him and had been near him, you no doubt were a recipient of what he would always say, “I love you and Jesus loves you, too!”  

Pallbearers will be Michael Economidis, Thomas Economidis, James Economidis, John Mark Economidis, Matthew Boyd, and Chad Nash; Honorary Pallbearer, Melissa Nash. 

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of Pinewood Hills Independent Retirement Living, Precise Personalized Care Hospice personnel Lisa Sbonik and Justin, and the Flower Mound Fire Department paramedics. 

There will be Family Visitation on Friday evening, 6:30 to 8:30, at Harper Funeral Home. The funeral service will be Saturday morning at 10:00 at Harper Funeral Home followed by burial at Fairmount Cemetery. Pastor Chris Sweet, of Grace Temple Baptist Church, will be officiating.
