Ernest was a pastor at various location including Farmers Branch, Odessa, Hobbs, O'Donnell, Ft. Stockton, and Pecos. Ernest retired from ministry in 2009 with forty-eight years of ministry. He loved to garden, read, and was an avid "Prayer Warrior". Ernest would always help those in need throughout the world. Ernest loved spending time with his loving family, especially his two grandsons.

Maria de Lourdes Ana Zamarripa Hernandez McCormick, affectionately known as “Lule”, departed to heaven October 29, 2021 at age 66. She fought for many years and passed peacefully in the comfort of her own home. 

Maria was born August 5, 1955, to Juan and Gregoria Hernandez in San Antonio, Texas. She was 1 of 11 children that described her as shy, calm, smart, and cared greatly for her siblings. Growing up, she excelled in academics, but always made sure to mention that she lettered in tennis. Shortly after high school, she proudly served in the Army Reserves for two years, and four years in the Air Force, where she met her lifetime partner Stephen McCormick. Together they enjoyed living in several states, before deciding to settle in San Angelo, Texas, where they built their home and raised their three children. 

As a mother, she frequently saved her only son from his tormenting sisters. She loved to save recipe clippings despite Steve’s very bland palate. She made the birthday cupcakes, attended every event, volunteered for school events, and spent hours in the Texas heat watching soccer games, under an umbrella of course. She was a sweet, gentle soul who was also considerate, selfless, kind, and toward the end, had a little bit of sass. She loved to read, and gave detailed descriptions of the stories that she immersed herself in. As a hidden jeopardy genius, it tickled her to demolish her husband nightly on recorded episodes. 

Maria is survived by her husband Stephen McCormick, her daughter Robin Mills, son-in-law Justin Mills, daughter Audra McCormick, son Derek McCormick and daughter-in-law Anna Danckwardt-Lillieström. She had two granddaughters who were everything to her, Sienna and Gianna Mills. Additionally, she is survived by eight siblings and countless loved ones because she was so easy to love. 

No services will be held. Maria loved the beach, particularly walking the coastline and picking seashells. It was her wish to be cremated and brought back to Cape Cod.

Robert “Bob” Doss Hambright, age 91, of San Angelo was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on October 28, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer. He passed away in his home in San Angelo, Texas surrounded by his family. 

Bob was preceded in death by Dorothy, his wife of 65 years. Throughout their marriage, Bob and Dorothy supported each other in every way. They worked together to create a loving home, which they shared with family and many loving friends. 

Survivors include son, Robert Kyle Hambright and wife Sandy of Arlington, Texas; son, Randall Kevin Hambright and wife Tamara Hambright of Arlington, Texas; Nephew, Jim Bob Hambright and wife Glenda of Fredericksburg, Texas as well as his many other nieces and nephews. Bob’s beloved grandchildren were the light of his life, and include Landon Hambright of Kansas City, Missouri; Chase Hambright of Arlington, Texas; Jared Hambright of Fort Worth, Texas; Taylor Hambright of Arlington, Texas; and great grandson, River Hambright, son to Taylor Hambright and Hali Raines of Arlington, Texas. Also dear to Bob’s heart was his precious dog Boots. 

Bob was born to James and Myrtle Hambright on September 13, 1930, in Norton, Texas where he grew up farming. Upon graduating from Norton High School, Bob entered the Navy where he was commissioned as a steam boiler technician responsible for the inspection, maintenance and repair of the Navy ship’s steam-propulsion system. After proudly serving his country, Bob returned to his home in Norton, Texas where he resumed farming and cattle ranching. Shortly thereafter, Bob accepted a position as a Texas Control Inspector with Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Company where he was employed for 23 years. Upon his retirement from Hartford, Bob commenced a long and established career in the construction business wherein he subsequently built homes and apartment complexes in San Angelo and throughout the state of Texas and Arkansas. Bob later expanded his construction company to include plastering and roofing contracting. Bob and Dorothy were active members of San Angelo First United Methodist Church. 

Bob was the youngest of two brothers, and was always blessed with a strong work ethic which carried him throughout his life. Bob had a tremendous sense of humor and loved being around family and friends. Bob had many interest which included fishing, golf, watching football, dancing, telling jokes and taking many trips to Las Vegas and Laughlin, Nevada. Bob was also known for making wonderful peanut brittle which he loved sharing with family and friends.  

The family would like to thank all of the personal caregivers, the staff of Hospice of San Angelo and the Veterans Administration who cared for Bob during his illness. The family would also like to thank his many Southridge Homeowners Association neighbors with who Bob and Boots loved to fellowship.  

Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society.
