Naomi Eba Fout went home to glory August 29, 2022 at the age of 94. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Ernie Fout in 2005. 

Naomi was born on August 8, 1928 in Baltimore, MD to Harry and Bessie Eba, the 5th of 6 children. Her father was an itinerant preacher who traveled the country painting signs to support his family. Naomi started school as a child in Lordsburg, New Mexico, and ultimately graduated high school in Portsmouth, Ohio. After high school she made a living by working along side her sister Esther in a shoe factory in Portsmouth. Along with her family, she attended the United Pentecostal Church, where she met Ernie Fout. 

Ernie and Naomi married on September 14, 1953. They had 5 children: Mark, John, Dale, Ruth and Kathy. She was the loving grandmother of 6, and doting great-grandmother of 16 children. Along with raising her children Naomi also managed stores for 16 Food Corral Co. in El Paso, TX. 

Naomi deeply loved the Lord, and was a faithful churchgoer, playing the piano and organ on Sunday mornings in church when she lived in El Paso. 

After they moved to San Angelo, she volunteered as a greeter in church at The Life Church, a task she dearly loved. 

As her health declined in the last years, Naomi was surrounded by 3 generations of family who cared for her in every way possible, bringing her joy, laughter, her favorite treats and the very best medical care. We will miss her sense of humor, her joy, her stories, and most of all, her sweet smile. 

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the 5th floor nursing staff at Shannon Medical Center, the staff of Solaris Hospice, with loving gratitude to her nurse Lindsey and her aide Rebecca. 

A visitation will be held for Naomi on Thursday, September 1, 2022 at Harper Funeral Home from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M.

Willie Dean Perkins entered this world on Sep 10, 1932, the son of John and Leatrice Perkins. He departed this life on Aug 28, 2022, leaving a hole that can never be filled. 

There was a lot of living in between those dates. Dean’s life encompassed volumes that cannot adequately be defined by a few paragraphs. He earned his Bachelor’s in Science degree from North Texas State University in 1957, a Master’s in Education from Southwest Texas State University in 1964, and a Doctorate in Education from East Texas State University in 1975. 

Dean married Nelva Jean Porter-Perkins on June 2, 1956. Together, they loved and raised two adoring sons, Gregory Dean “Greg” Perkins (Sheryl) of Port Orchard WA, and Mark Kevin “Kevin” Perkins of Abilene, Texas.  

Dean and Jean had two grandchildren, Gregory Dean Perkins II and Meagen Anne Perkins, of Port Orchard, WA. 

Dean was a proud US Navy Veteran, and an Administrator in the SAISD.  

Dean and Jean were active in retirement and travelled extensively throughout retirement, visiting many countries in Europe, Scandinavia, and Asia, and they enjoyed visiting Greg and their grandchildren stationed in Japan. 

In his later years, Dean found joy in everything: he was an avid fisherman and fished with Greg in Mexico and Alaska. He also traveled to Pamplona, Spain, with Greg, to watch the Running of the Bulls. 

Dean looked especially forward to Kevin’s regular visits home, and when Greg and Sheryl came to visit from Washington State. 

Dean touched many lives and had an abundance of good friends. He was involved in genealogy research for years, sharing his new finds with family, at the various Family Reunions. He looked forward to the research and was excited, and especially thrilled to share his new historical findings. 

Dean was a much-loved uncle to his many nieces and nephews, and cherished by his numerous cousins and other family members. Dean made friends wherever he went. He will be missed by all, including his buddies at the Shannon Health Club. 

Dean was preceded in death by his wife Jean, his parents, and two brothers. 

His family would like to thank his many friends at the Shannon Health Club for their kind love and ongoing support of Dean over the years, and a special thanks to Joe Fields, Connie Compton and the numerous others who supported and encouraged him during his health struggle, from his bedside. 

Dean led a most remarkable life, left his mark on numerous lives, lived life to the fullest and left nothing undone. Dean had a life well lived! 

Visitation is at Harper Funeral Home, San Angelo, Friday, September 2nd, from 5:00- 7:00 p.m.; and the Graveside Service is at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens, San Angelo, Saturday, September 3rd, at 10:00 a.m.

In the early morning hours of August 9th, 2022, as the sun was barely a glimpse in the eastern horizon, US Navy Vietnam Veteran, Richard Andrew Johnson, went to his final home and picked out his eternal fishing spot. 

Richard (known as Rick) was born September 13th, 1950 in Clearwater Florida to his parents Shirley Louise Hudgins of Memphis Tennessee and Williams S. Johnson of Lakeland Florida. Being born a native to the gulf coast, Rick possessed a love of fishing from an early age. He maintained this passion throughout his life. Not only an avid fisherman, he was an accomplished gardener, cook and model railroader. One could say that Rick's eyes were always bigger than his stomach because he would always plant more crops than needed and was adamant in keeping the pantry and freezer stocked full of food, which both are to this day. 

His love for trains (Model Railroads) came about in his early 30’s and his collection is very extensive. Rick was very articulate in the construction of old dated structures dating back to the late 1800’s, all of which were constructed by hand and from scratch. His love for history is reflected in all of his buildings. He always thought he was born 100 years too late and his talent and attention to detail, impressive. 

Rick served 3 years in the United States Navy from June of 1973 to October 1976 on the U.S.S. Dennis J. Buckley {DD 808} 

Rick also had a love for animals, especially dogs and over the past few years took an interest in helping his wife feed the birds in their backyard sanctuary. During winter months, like his determination to keep his family well fed, Rick was adamant about making peanut butter cakes for the birds to help them stay fed and warm on cold winter nights. 

Throughout his working years, Rick was in many facets of the construction industry. He was skilled in sheet metal, stucco and retired as a journeyman's electrician. His wife has mentioned while they would be driving through San Angelo, Rick would see and reminisce on many of the projects, residential and commercial that he was a part of building. Helen, his wife, states that Rick has left his construction legacy sprinkled throughout the community. From Goodfellow AFB to Angelo State University and everything in between, Helen see’s Rick's handprint around every corner. 

Anyone who knew Rick, ultimately knew he was a man of very few words. He didn’t see the need for many and when he did speak you listened, simply because it did not happen very often. 

Rick is preceded in death by his mother Shirley, his grandparents Kate & Marvin Johnson, and the untimely death of his brother Donald Allen Johnson, on August 21, 2022, 12 days after Rick’s own passing. 

He is survived by his wife Helen Louise Johnson, daughter Sara Michelle Johnson, both of San Angelo. His father Williams S. Johnson, sister Linda Anne Johnson Dallo, brother William Samuel Johnson Jr. (Billy) all of Florida, nieces Angie Ross Sheridan, Laura Ross. Nephews Trevor Johnson, Shawn Johnson, Shane Johnson and Chad Ross and many cousins. 
Services for Rick will be September 3, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. in Fairmount Cemetery. 
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Veterans Assistance Dogs of Texas @www.VADogs.org.

Mary Ellen Clark went home to be with Jesus on August 21, 2022. She was born on May 11, 1943, in Riverside, New Jersey to Hiram and Mary Alleger. At an early age, Ellen trusted Jesus as her Savior and Lord and was baptized. She graduated in 1961 from Rancocas Valley Regional High School. Ellen’s first job after graduation was as a switchboard operator at New Jersey Telephone Company in Belvidere, New Jersey, where she met Sherman Clark in January 1963. Three months later Sherman proposed to Ellen, who said yes, and to this day, Sherman says that Ellen married him for his red convertible. Ellen and Sherman joined their lives in marriage on Sunday, August 4, 1963, at First Baptist Church, Mount Holly, New Jersey, and were faithful to each other for 59 years and 17 days. After the wedding, the couple made their first of eight moves in 13 years to Muskegon, Michigan. Their final move was in 1993, when they made their home in San Angelo, where they served their community and their Heavenly Father together for 29 years. 

Ellen and Sherman had three children, Brad, Aaron, and Jennifer. Ellen was devoted to her family and when the children reached school age, she worked as an educational aide at Croninger Elementary School in Fort Wayne, Indiana where Jennifer and Aaron attended school. She later moved to a medical library clerk position at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Fort Wayne. It was from the experience she gained in the medical library that she was offered an opportunity to establish the medical library at Lincoln National Life Insurance Company where she assisted physicians with medical books, journals, and other material. 

In 1993, Sherman was transferred to San Angelo to work with General Telephone Electronics Company. After 6 months in San Angelo, Ellen was hired at GTE as well, where she served customers with kindness in a variety of positions until her retirement in 2005. 

Ellen was affectionately and appropriately known as Bahti to her grandsons and their friends. It was no coincidence that when Hunter was a toddler, he gave Ellen this title and it carried on through to Hayden. The family later learned the origin of the word is Indian and translates as praiseworthy, virtuous, and beautiful woman. 

In retirement, Ellen’s greatest happiness came from her Bahti duty, caring for her grandsons, serving as their Uber driver, attending numerous sports practices, and serving as cheerleader at countless basketball games and other activities. In addition, Ellen was an avid reader of Christian authors and loved a good mystery novel. She was passionate about flowers and especially enjoyed her pansies in the winter and geraniums in the spring. Ellen was a dedicated member of First Baptist Church where she sang in the sanctuary choir, served on the worship team, participated in and led several committees, and in earlier years, volunteered as the director of the nursery and served as a Sunday School teacher for pre-school children. 

In Heaven, Ellen joined her parents, Hiram and Mary Alleger; infant sister, Elizabeth; and infant granddaughter, Hadley Danielle, who she is now holding and singing favorite hymns and songs. 
Ellen is survived by her lifelong love, partner, friend and loyal husband, Sherman; son, Brad Clark of Palo Alto, California; son, Aaron Clark and wife, Stephanie, of San Angelo; daughter, Jennifer Schmidt and husband, Jeff, of San Angelo; two grandsons who were the joys of her life, Hunter and Hayden; younger brother, Robert Alleger and wife, Natalie of Edgewater Park, New Jersey; and a host of other relatives and dear friends. Her grace, sweet spirit, wisdom, and counsel will be missed by many. 
Ellen fought a courageous battle with cancer and her family is thankful for the excellent care, responsiveness, kindness, and dedication of the medical professionals who treated her, including Dr. John Harvey, Dr. David Cummings, Dr. Kenneth Jastrow, Shannon Hospital 5th and 6th Floor Nurses, and the staff of Home Preferred Health. 

Ellen’s family invites friends to join them in celebrating her life on Saturday, October 1, at 10 am, First Baptist Church, San Angelo. 

In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorials to The White Rose Support at Shannon Medical Center, the First Baptist Church San Angelo Music Ministry, or a charity of choice. 

Proverbs 31: 29-31 – Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
