Doris Ruth (May) Walsh passed away in her home peacefully, surrounded by family, on 3 January 2026 at 101 years of age – succumbing to a case of pneumonia. Doris was the wife of James (Jim) David Walsh until his death in December 2012 and Mother to their four children. She is survived by their eldest son, James David Walsh, Jr., and eldest daughter, Patricia Ann (Patty) Walsh. She was predeceased by their son, Richard Dennis (Rick) Walsh, and daughter, Mary Elizabeth (Walsh) Phillipus. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren -- Michael Phillips, James David Walsh, III, Sammi Smith, Louis Lane, III, Rachel Morris, Jacob Lane, Rebekah Miller, Deborah Lane, Mary Summy, Stephen Koch, and Charles Koch – and numerous great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Doris was born into a farming family, the 4th of five children. She was born and went to school in Nevada County Arkansas. She met and married Jim while he was in the Army during WW II. After Jim’s discharge they lived in his home town of Albany where Jim Jr and Patty were born. Jim worked taking orders for a dairy company. After the family moved back to Arkansas and later to Texas, Jim began working for the telephone company and was eventually transferred to San Angelo.

Rick was born in Texarkana, Texas, and Mary was born in San Angelo, Texas. Doris had some nurse’s training and sometimes worked in healthcare, but also worked as a waitress and was primarily a wife and mother.

Originally Doris attended Southern Baptist services but agreed to having her children raised Catholic. She sometimes attended mass at Sacred Heart and later Holy Angels parish but later preferred attending Church of Christ services and, until Jim’s death, was a member of 9th and Main Church of Christ Church in San Angelo. After Jim’s death she moved to Rockwall, Texas to be cared for by her devoted daughter Mary until mid-2024. Doris attended Church of Christ services near there. In 2024 she returned to live in the house the family had owned since shortly after they moved to San Angelo; she was lovingly cared for by her eldest granddaughter, Sammi Smith, until her death. Doris remained faithful, loving, kind, and in good humor until the end. She loved Gospel music and was listening to it on YouTube on the day she passed.

Visitation for Doris will be held Thursday, January 8, 2026 from 5-7 pm at Johnson's Funeral Home. Her funeral service will be held at 2 pm, Friday, January 9, 2026 in Johnson's Funeral Home Chapel.

Edith Armilda Goswick, lovingly known as "Bossy Granny," passed away peacefully at the age of 91 on January 3, 2026. Born July 5, 1934, in Childress County Texas, Edith lived a life defined by love, resilience, and devotion to her family.

She spent most of her years in Westmorland, California, where she became a cherished member of the community. Known for living in the first house as you entered town, Edith welcomed everyone with a warm meal, a cup of coffee, or a good deal at one of her well-known yard sales-always sending guests off with her famous tagline, "Y'all come back." Her home was a gathering place filled with laughter, love, and the aroma of her cooking. She took joy in preparing meals and bringing loved ones together for every holiday, building traditions that will be cherished for generations to come.

Edith worked for many years at Johnny's Liquor Store, where her friendly spirit and hard work earned her the respect of all who knew her. She retired in the early 2000s and, in 2017, returned to her roots in Texas to spend her final years surrounded by loved ones.

As the matriarch of her family, Edith raised several generations of strong women, instilling in them the values of kindness, strength, and perseverance.

She is survived by her daughters: Cathy Kilgore, Zandy (Jack Crawford) McDaniel, and Jenitta (Ron) Thomas; her sister Venitta Williams; and her brother James (Sandy) Harris. Her legacy continues through her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, a large extended family, and countless friends who will forever cherish her memory.

She is met in heaven by her parents, Joe Dee and Elsie Harris; her son, Jerry Cleavland Goswick; and Jimmy McDaniel.

Edith will be remembered for her warmth, generosity, and unwavering love. Her life was a testament to family and community-a beacon of hospitality and strength that will never fade.

A celebration of Edith's life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor her remarkable journey.

Cruz Martinez Trevino, 75, passed away Friday, January 2, 2026, in San Angelo, Texas. Surrounded by her family. Public viewing will be Wednesday, January 7, 2026, from 1:00 PM - 8:00 PM, with the Rosary being prayed at 6:00 PM at Robert Massie Riverside Chapel. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:30 AM Thursday, January 8, 2026, at St. Mary's Catholic Church with Father Ryan Rojo, officiating. Burial will follow at Calvary Catholic Cemetery under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Cruz is survived by her children, Dominic (Inez), Eugene (Monica), and Jeremiah (Amber); her grandchildren, Brandon, Haleigh, Jackie (Alberto), Jathan, Leyla, Sierra, Steven, Ector, Lexey and nine great-grandchildren; her siblings, Leon (Lupe), Santiago (Adela), Nate (Donna), Frank, Rosie, Cheva, Josie and numerous neices, nephews, and cousins. Cruz will join her husband, sister, and parents in eternal life. Cruz was born on May 3, 1950, in San Angelo to Joe Martinez and Petra Martinez. She attended Central High School, where she met the love of her life, Mario Trevino. After they graduated in 1969, they were married on November 14, 1970. Cruz was a natural nurturer who welcomed everyone into her home with a warm meal and a seat at her table. The title she wore most proudly was "Grandma," a name she was affectionately called by everyone, not just her grandchildren by blood or marriage. 

Caregiving was Cruz's calling, a role that fit her spirit. She poured herself into caring for others, finding joy and purpose in tending to those who needed her most. Her phone was an extension of this devotion. She loved nothing more than regular check-ins with all her babies and grandbabies, making sure everyone was doing well. 

Cruz cherished the bond she shared with her sisters, and together they traveled in flocks, living their own version of the "Golden Girls." Their adventures and laughter were a testament to the joy that sisterhood brought to her life.

Cruz was known for her devoted contributions to St. Mary's Church, where she could often be found attending services, volunteering, or gathering with her prayer group, the Morning Glories. Prayer was Cruz's superpower, and she prayed relentlessly for her community and family. Without a jealous or judgmental bone in her body, Cruz saw only the good in others. This important life lesson she imparted to all, to accept others as they are and seek the goodness in everyone, was the example she lived by every day.

Pallbearers will be Cruz's grandchildren: Brandon Trevino, Jackie Trejo, Alberto Trejo, Haleigh Trevino, Jathan Trevino, Leyla Trevino, Maritssa Garcia, and Marc Garcia. Honorary pallbearers will be Christian Garcia, Nich Castro, and Lexey Fernandez. 

The family would like to add a special thank you to Shannon Medical Center, Home Health, and her dialysis unit.Sign the online register at www.robertmassie.com.

Steven Louis Belmont, age 70, stepped from this life to the next on January 3, 2026.

He was born in the Bronx, New York and spent all but two years of his life in Texas. Steven attended Sacred Heart Catholic School, Lee Junior High, and Central High School (class of ’73).

Steven was the life of the party He loved to dance, good music, Harry Potter, musicals, reading, flowers, astrology, art and nice cars.

He began working at the age of 16 to afford his first car. It was his pride and joy. As his life continued, he was constantly trading “up” for nicer and newer. He was a car hound for sure. From the moment he got his license, he was never without a “nice ride.”

Steven was blessed to have friends from as far back as his elementary years; and a lot of them. In his final days, numerous calls were received from names from his childhood who wanted to speak to him one last time. He took friendship very seriously and was extremely loyal to those who were lucky enough to be his friend. He would do anything for a friend, including cleaning, cooking, running errands, supporting though hard times, and just listening when they needed it. Of course, that “listening” was always followed by his opinion on the subject, whether popular or not.

Our family was blessed with a baby girl in 1971, Christi Belmont. The first grandchild and the first niece. Steven was smitten early as he became her babysitter, then her playmate, then her friend, and her one and only Uncle Steve. He became Uncle Steve to her friends as well, and together they had the most memorable times.

Then that young lady had a son, Braxton Belmont, and steven was once again smitten from the moment he arrived. He became Braxton’s babysitter, playmate, friend, and Uncle Steve to him as well. Braxton was his pride and joy and he loved him with all of his heart, and, the feeling was mutual.

Steven worked as a salesman for the majority of his life. While he sold several things, the jewelry business is where he shined. He worked for several major jewelers. He developed a clientele over the years because he knew his stuff. Whether it was in Lubbock, Austin, the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, or in his hometown of San Angelo, Texas, which he referred to as “Dodge”, His people followed him for their major purchases.

In the last years of his life, he worked as a wine expert at Pinkies Liquor Store and developed quite a clientele there as well. As well as he knew jewelry, he probably knew wine even better. He made many friends from his employment there.

Steven is survived by his three siblings, John Belmont, Allie Belmont (Mona), and Joyce Shelton (Ken). He is also survived by nieces Christi Belmont, Katie Rae Peppard, Ricky Wallace (Richard), and nephews Brian Belmont, and Tim Carr (Hailey). He also leaves behind great nieces Kendall and Savannah Wallace, great nephews, Landon and Brody Carr, Asher Peppard, and Braxton Belmont.

He also leaves behind numerous friends who were like family, including Jessica Soto, his goddaughter, Kathy Schwartz, his lifelong friend from grade school, and so many others to numerous to name here.

He was preceded in death by his mother Rae Belmont, his brother-in-law, George Shelton, his great nephew Ethan Wallace, his best friend Kim Warren, Ann Rodgers, and so many others.

A memorial service planned by Steven with his wishes, will be held at Harper Funeral Home in San Angelo, Texas on Saturday, January 10th at 11:00 Am in the Chapel. He wanted it short and simple and he did not want anyone to be sad, so wear bright colors, and bring your sweet memories.

The family would like to offer their sincere thanks to Dr. Kuder and his nurse Angela for their care and support for Steven in the last two months. A special thank you to the Skilled Nursing Staff at Meadowcreek Nursing Home, Especially the nurses who were so good to him and our family, Romona, Diana, and Bill. You were invaluable to us.

Dirk Robert Anderson, 43, of San Angelo, Texas—born May 7, 1982, in Rankin, Texas—passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on December 23, 2025, at his home. Though he lived in Utah and Oregon at different points in his life, Dirk’s heart and roots always belonged to Texas.

Dirk was larger than life—funny, fearless, the life of every party, and a true kid at heart. If Dirk showed up, you knew it was about to be a good time. He was an adventurer in every sense of the word, always up for a laugh, a spontaneous plan, or a moment of joy. He had a way of making everyone feel like the most important person in the room, often with an arm around their shoulder or one of his signature hugs that will be dearly missed.

Dirk’s greatest joy was spending time with his children, family, and friends. Making memories seemed to be his life’s mission. He spent every waking moment he could on an adventure—whether drifting, riding dirt bikes, taking road trips, counting broken bones, spending money on truck and car parts (because, as the family jokes, he was a terrible driver), racing down back roads, fishing, being on the lake or in a boat, or simply hanging out. Those were the moments Dirk cherished most.

He worked hard throughout his life, mostly in the oil field. His most recent job was a Lead Flowback Operator. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need—friends, family, or strangers alike. While he wasn’t formally involved in organizations, Dirk lived a life of service in quiet, selfless ways that often went unseen but were deeply felt.

Dirk had a special gift for bringing humor into every situation. Towering over most people, he was often found letting his nieces and nephew climb all over him like a jungle gym. He wasn’t above dressing up and acting silly to make people laugh. He had a magnetic charm and, as his family lovingly jokes, was a ladies’ man who never discriminated—everyone was welcome.

Unapologetically himself, Dirk was known as Mom’s favorite (a long running joke he liked to tease his sisters about). He quick to make you mad but even quicker to win you back with a grin or a hug. He was the glue that held his siblings together—the “anchor,” as they say—keeping his wild siblings a little tamer and his tame siblings a little wilder.

Dirk is survived by his three beloved children; Taylor and Baylee Anne of Midland Texas, and Kolton of San Angelo Texas. His mother, Kymberly Anderson of Rankin, Texas; his sisters, Angela Saar of Aumsville Oregon, Camille Anderson of Rankin Texas and Kodi Anderson of San Angelo, Texas. His grandparents Robert and Barbara Rogers of Vernal Utah. Janice Ferguson of Crane Texas. He is also survived by nine nieces and one nephew, cousins who were more like siblings, and aunts who loved him as their own.

He was preceded in death by his father, Randy Anderson of Salem, Oregon; his brother, James Anderson of Rankin, Texas; and his lifelong best friend, Daniel Barrientez of San Angelo, Texas.

Dirk’s Facebook bio read, “This lil light of mine, Imma let it shine.” That light continues to shine through all who loved him. To honor Dirk’s memory, his family invites you to light a candle whenever you need a reminder of his warmth, humor, and love. The world has lost a ray of light—but Dirk’s glow lives on in every heart he touched.
