Sybil was born in Coleman, Texas on July 28, 1937 to Ralph E. and Marie (Wiegreffe) Brown. She grew up in Talpa, Texas. She attended Immanuel Baptist in Talpa and was baptized at the age of 13 in a stock tank. Sybil graduated from Talpa High School in 1955. She attended San Angelo College and Shannon School of Nursing, receiving her Applied Arts degree and RN certification in 1958. She later received a master’s degree from Angelo State University in 1975 and taught second graders for 31 years. She loved her profession and students.

Sybil married Gary Sanderford, loyal husband, loving and affectionate dad, and devoted educator in August, 1959. They raised their 2 boys and lived in San Angelo most of their married life. Gary died in October, 1987.

The united families soon grew larger and larger becoming her pride and joy. She adored and loved each one of them. Her desire was for each of their hearts to be filled with the love of Christ and have this legacy of faith passed on.

Deborah Lynn Hail Waller

01/28/2026 - 09:11 , by TKing09

Deborah Lynn Hail Waller, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and cousin, went to be with the Lord on January 20, 2026, at the age of 71. She was with her daughter and passed in peace.

Born on January 18, 1955, in San Angelo, Texas to Bessie Shaw Hail and Fred Monroe Hail, Deb was the first daughter and third child of a loving home with siblings Michael, Gregory, and Phyllis. Brought up with faith, determination and a love of animals, she preferred to be outside with her brothers working for their daddy rather than in the house. She and her siblings, Michael and Phyllis, stayed close as adults after losing their father and brother, both at a young age. Her adult life started hard, but with her own compass, she made her way through without losing faith that God would take care of her and her girls. Deb had a passion for horses, dogs, and enjoyed paper crafts and her vacations to do glass crafts with her cousin Truda. Deb worked hard, raised two daughters with faith and love, and always made time for family. Throughout her life, she was a source of unconditional love and help to her loved ones who will forever be grateful for having her light in their lives.

She is survived by her children, Melissa Gillespie and her husband Joshua Gillespie, Michelle Phelps and her partner Brian Long, her grandchildren, Kayden Gillespie, Blake Long, Savanah Phelps and her boyfriend Joshua Baken, Stetson Phelps and his wife Miranda Phelps, her great-grandchildren, Aubrey Phelps, Cooper Phelps, and Kinsley Phelps, two of her dogs, Willie, her beloved chihuahua and Skye, her quirky blue heeler, and many other relatives that will miss her warmth and kindness.

A funeral service to honor and celebrate Deb’s life will be held at Harper Funeral Home on January 31, 2026, at 10am. Friends and family are invited to attend to pay their respects and share their memories.

If you prefer, in lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations in Deb’s honor to be made to "Train a Dog, Save a Warrior", www.tadsaw.org, an organization that matches service members or veterans in need with a shelter dog and provides training, both causes close to Deb’s heart.

"For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands." (2 Corinthians 5:1).

On Dec. 4, 1971, she married Manuel Guerra of Corpus Christi. They began dating after meeting at Whataburger. When Manuel joined the Air Force, they moved to Laurel, Maryland. After a couple of years, they moved to Bellevue, Neb. After 10 years, they moved to San Angelo, where they lived for the remainder of Delia’s life.

Always wanting to help people, Delia worked as a home health aide, a teacher’s aide at Rio Vista, HOSA, and Building Bridges volunteer, and Healthy Families of San Angelo, rounding out her work career. When she retired, she focused on her husband, children, and grandchildren. She was also a devoted parishioner at Our Lady of Peace Chapel at GAFB.

Delia was a room mother for all three of her children, a devoted soccer mom, and a grandma. She was always supportive of her grandchildren’s activities. She was a cherished member of the community, and she took pride in helping teenage mothers build an understanding of what it took to be a great mom, as she was a great mother herself.

We would like to thank Dr. Goen, Shannon Clinic Nephrology and Cardiology, Shannon 5 North, Shannon respiratory therapists, and Hospice of San Angelo for all of the excellent care and compassion.

A Rosary will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, in Johnson’s Funeral Home chapel. Private family service will be held at a later date in Corpus Christi.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donna Roberts on January 22, 2026, at the age of 58.

Joseph Clyde "Froggy" Barnes, Jr.

01/26/2026 - 07:36 , by TKing09

Heaven got a little “western” Tuesday, January 20th, as Joseph Clyde “Froggy” Barnes made his way through the pearly gates at the ripe old age of 85. He peacefully took his last breath with his wife Janie and daughter Tracy by his side. His valiant battle with cancer is finally over, and pain no longer a constant companion.

Born November 13, 1940, in Dallas, Texas, Froggy was the beloved son of Joseph Clyde Barnes, Sr. (better known as Red Brown) and Anna Lee Jarratt Barnes. Thanks to his musician-entertainer parents, Froggy grew up on the road, meeting legends like Tex Ritter and briefly serving as the youngest band leader for the Texas Playboys when Bob Wills held him as a toddler and handed him his bow.

The family eventually settled in El Paso, where Froggy helped launch live television in the early 1950s, became a local name, and later made his mark as a standout football player at Austin High School (Class of ’58) and Texas Western College (now UTEP).

Froggy’s life took a providential turn into education, where he spent decades shaping young lives across Texas and New Mexico. At Gadsden High School, he started New Mexico’s first high-school Sports Medicine program. Known for his expertise in sports injuries, rehab, and prevention—and his willingness to help anyone from farmers to rodeo athletes—he was equally loved for his affable banter, straight talk, and genuine care for people.

He met his future bride in the fifth grade at Rusk Elementary. That shy classmate from square dance club became his permanent dance partner for more than 61 years, as they kept time through life’s ups and downs with faith and humor.

Left behind to cherish his memory are his wife Janie of San Angelo; children Jim of Pflugerville, Tracy (Todd) Cauthorn, and Joey all of San Angelo; grandson Tyler Gidney of Fort Worth; and a large, lively circle of “adopted” kin including Dee Brennand, Betty Tyree, Tony & Julie Johnson (godson Dylan [Andie and Bode] and Ethan), Andy & Jeanne Rogers (Cole, Polly Matthews [Jake, Rhynlee, and James Cole]), Cory & Leslie Gardner (Morgan, Fallon, Tyley and Westyn).

Froggy lived his life with uncompromising integrity, grounded in faith in Jesus, with deep love for family and friends, and an unshakable belief that laughter is one of God’s best gifts. While we celebrate that he’s healed and whole in Heaven, we’ll do our best to carry on his legacy here —until we meet again, our precious husband, father, grandfather and friend.

A final farewell to Froggy will be held at 10:30 am on January 31st at Grape Creek Baptist Church, with fellowship luncheon to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Cowboys for Cancer Research (PO Box 202, Dona Ana, NM 88032) or Grape Creek Baptist Church (9781 North Grape Creek Road, San Angelo, TX, 76901).

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Vesta Joyce Ferrell Toney

01/23/2026 - 08:21 , by TKing09
Vesta Joyce Ferrell Toney passed peacefully into the waiting arms of Jesus on January 14, 2026.

Vesta was born in Stamford, Texas on September 20, 1928 to Rafe Teague Ferrell and Sarah Jenkins Ferrell. She was the youngest of 7 born in this family. Vesta married O.D. Toney on May 30, 1947 and they had two children, Michael Wayne Toney and Margie Nell Toney Laughlin. Vesta and O.D. were married for over 63 years when he passed away in 2010. Vesta is survived by her daughter, Margie of San Angelo, two grandsons, Chris Trevathan and Ryan Trevathan, both of San Angelo, and several nieces and nephews along with their families.

Vesta was preceded in death by her parents, her son Michael in 1978, five sisters Mildred Harshberger, Velma Sims, Ava Hardin, Vera Vineta Stremmel, Lavern Hill, and one brother Royce Ferrell.

Vesta and her family lived in Los Angeles for 13 years where she proudly claims to have taught herself to drive on the freeways there. The Toneys then moved back to Texas where they lived over 50 years in San Angelo. Vesta was a member of the Church of Christ and worshipped at the Chadbourne North congregation at the time of her passing.

Vesta was a respected and loved resident at Rio Concho Manor for over 10 years. Vesta was a volunteer for Meals for the Elderly in San Angelo and was employed for over 20 years at Ethicon as a supervisor in the Quality Assurance department where she made many lifelong friends.

Vesta lived out her faith in many ways and was a wonderful example of God’s grace and mercy to her family and many others in San Angelo. Being the last living sibling in her family, she was a “second mom” to many of her nieces and nephews and others in the family. She often said she prayed for each of her family members every day, and her words of wisdom and encouragement were so treasured. One of her favorite times was when many of her family would worship together with her. Those sitting next to her would feel her gentle hands reach out and hold their hands during prayers.

While living in California, her sister LaVerne and family lived nearby leading to a special closeness between those two families. But, knowing Vesta, she showed no partiality and loved all her family. Vesta’s closeness to her brother, Royce, was so apparent as she cared for him in many ways as his health began to fail. Vesta loved to travel and made several lengthy road trips with her oldest sister, Mildred. Their special bond started when Mildred helped care for Vesta as an infant. Vesta and O.D. raised several farm animals while living on the edge of San Angelo leading Vesta to become an efficient goat milker and advocate of drinking goat milk. She and Hondo, the donkey, had several interesting days together on the “farm”. Vesta loved her Volkswagons and her dogs!

Vesta will be missed so much, as will her kind and encouraging words. Her guidance and advice helped many of her family through difficult times. Her love for Jesus Christ was so apparent and she lived a full life. Vesta now has a face to put with a holy and beloved name.

 

II Timothy 4:7-8 describes Vesta’s journey so well

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

Donations in memory of Vesta can be made to Meals for the Elderly, 310 E. Houston Harte, San Angelo, TX 76903

Don't grieve for me for now I'm free,

 

I'm following the path God laid for me

 

I took his hand when I heard him call,

 

I turned my back and left it all

 

I could not stay another day,

 

To laugh, to love, to work or play

 

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

 

I've found that peace at the close of day

 

If my parting has left a void,

 

Then fill it with remembered joy

 

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

 

Ah yes, these things I too will miss

 

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,

 

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow

 

My life's been full, I've savored much,

 

Good friends, good times, my loved one's touch

 

If my time seemed all too brief,

 

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief

 

Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,

 

God wanted me now, He set me free.

 

- Anne Lindgren Davison
