Mona Lee Ensminger, 96, peacefully passed away May 14, 2022 surrounded by her family.

Mona was born December 6, 1925 to Jack and Lila Davidson in Stonewall County, Texas. Mona graduated high school from Divide High School in Nolan County in 1944. On April 27, 1944 Mona married the love of her life Harold Wayne Ensminger in Sweetwater, Tx.

She lived in San Angelo for 76 years and in the same house for 65 of those years. She was a charter member of Johnson St. Church of Christ.

For the first 20 years of her married life, her sole focus was God, her husband, and her family. Later she did add work outside the home to her list. She worked as a checker at retail stores, grocery stores and as manager of a baby store.

She loved watching sports. She watched or listened to most of the Central Bobcat games through the 50-60-70’s. When the Cowboys started, she became an avid fan. Rarely did she ever miss a game. She loved March Madness and really enjoyed watching the Dallas Mavericks. In fact, while in Hospice Care, she watched the Suns and the Mavericks.

If you ever came to her house, you were asked if you were hungry. She fed many a person and gladly prepared a meal for them. Later in her life the house was added on with an extra kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom for her mother. The space was given for others to use after her mom passed. Many family members, church people and needy people had the privilege of Mom and Dad’s generosity for a night, weeks, or months.

She loved her kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and great-great grandkids. Her great great grandkids, Bentley and Berkley, were the little ones that kept her going. She was extremely active until December of this past year.

She will be missed by so many.

Mona was preceded in death by her husband Harold W. Ensminger, brother Jack “Tony” Davidson, Grandson Jeromy W. Ensminger.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my place was ready, In heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me, and told me “Welcome Home.” So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

George Allen Halfmann went to be with his Heavenly Father and the love of his life on May 7th, 2022. He was surrounded by his family as he entered the gates of heaven.

George was born on January 11, 1932 to Mack Halfmann & Emma Gerngross Halfmann in Olfen, Tx. His family moved to Wall, Tx in 1939 to farm. He helped his dad farm and tend the animals for many years before he went into the Army. As George was heading out to training for the Army, his brother Cecil was returning from being overseas and they were not able to cross paths before departing. George served his country for several years and returned home to be greeted by his family! George played in a band with his friends for many years and was known to bring the guitar out on Sunday afternoons at his home to play his favorite tunes for his kids!

On November 7, 1956, George married the love of his life & best friend, Doris Pfeiffer of Veribest, Tx. at St. Ambrose Catholic Church. They moved to St. Lawrence, Tx. where their first child was born and then moved back to Veribest to continue farming. They brought home 4 more children while living in a two-bedroom home and then moved to Wall, Tx in 1976 where they welcomed their 6th child! Their family was complete!

George was a humble man who took care of others in need. He was the greatest example of a husband, father, brother, popo, Christian and friend. Doris and George had a love and generous heart for many priests. They sponsored Fr. Paul Inje and Fr. Jesu Rajan for the past 40 years. George was very proud of his Catholic faith and set aside time each day to pray the Rosary and Divine Mercy for all of his family and friends. His kids remember seeing George and Doris kneeling beside their bed saying their prayers every night!

Dad enjoyed the fine things in life- sitting on the back porch telling stories, going to church, and spending time with his family. Dad was known for giving his kids nicknames, which carried on to their kids as well! Going to Dad/Popo’s house was a treat because you always had soady-pop, beer, ice cream and a couple quarters to bring home with you. You could find Dad down at the ranch fixing fence, feeding the cows, or on the tractor. He was the hardest worker and was known to have the toughest hands. He loved to go fishing at the tank or on the lake with his fishing buddies and bringing the fish home for a fish fry! Dad always loved to be around kids, whether they were his grandchildren/great grandchildren or kids he met at church. They all brought him so much joy, and he was known to slip a golden dollar or two to each kid.

George was preceded in death by his loving wife of 63 years Doris Faye Halfmann, his parents Mack & Emma Halfmann, his sister Veronica Clark, & his brother in-laws W.C. Hering & Edd Plagens.
He is survived by his 6 children, Becky (Flo) & Billy Trojcak, Greg (Pete) & Debbie Halfmann, Jeanie (Tino) & Daryl Schniers, Connie (Ebb) & Eric Weaver, Kathy (Krut) & Brian Braden, & Christy (Scoot) & Jason Katscmorak.
