Katharine Elizabeth (Betty) Williams Templeton was born on June 23, 1934 in Aberdeen, Mississippi, to Dr. Harvey McLean Williams and Julia Katherine Bouchard Williams. She was a loving, fun-filled, energetic and extremely generous mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother. She died in her home on September 20, 2021, accompanied by her son, Scott, and daughter-in-law, Gracie Templeton. 

Betty grew up in Aberdeen, Mississippi, with her two sisters (Nancy Williams Hall, Judy Williams Moore) and brother (Harvey McLean Williams, Jr). She had an idyllic, happy childhood, and would entertain her children and grandchildren with thrilling stories of her small town adventures. After World War II, her father moved the family to San Angelo, TX, as he was compelled to seek a drier climate for health reasons. 

Betty married Stuart Edward Templeton on August 18th, 1961, and they had two boys, Stephen Farwell Templeton and Scott Edward Templeton. She was an incredible mother and wife, and was much loved by her husband and sons. She had a sharp mind and remained interested in all the details, successes and challenges of her sons. She derived such joy from her family and had a deep love for her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a good friend to many, and had many decades-long friendships. Times spent with her children and family and living with Gracie and Scott and their children in her later life were treasured, true blessings for all. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Stuart in 1989. John Caldwell, Sr. was a close, loving companion after Stuart’s death, until John died in 2017. She is survived by her children Scott and Gracie Templeton, Stephen and Beth Templeton; and her grandchildren Sophia Elizabeth Templeton, Katherine Grace Templeton, Emma Elizabeth (Templeton) and Richard Vigneault, Kristina (Templeton) and Kenneth Chin, Rachel (Templeton) and Geoffrey Weathersby, Julia Catherine Templeton, Andrei Joseph Templeton, Sergei Samuel Templeton, and Pasha David Templeton; and her great grandchildren Arya Partridge, Harvey James Vigneault, Elliott Templeton Vigneault, Kai June Chin, and Luna Lea Weathersby. 

Betty was the holder and teller of some of the great San Angelo stories, and those times and her laughter and optimism will be missed. The family is ever grateful for all who assisted her in her later years, including Maria Gonzalez, Hospice of San Angelo, and Comfort Keepers. Please direct any memorials to Hospice of San Angelo or The James Phillips Williams Memorial Foundation.

Jenelle Barron, 97, passed away Tuesday, September 21, 2021, in San Angelo.

Public Viewing will be from 9:00 AM until 8:00 PM Tuesday, September 28, 2021, at Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Arrangements are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Jenelle Barron was born on October 12, 1923, to Jim and Gladis (Lewis) Barron. She was born in her grandparent's house on Pulliam Street in San Angelo on her daddy's birthday. Jenelle was an only child and was always a "Daddy's girl". 

Jenelle grew up on the family ranch in southeast Tom Green County. Her family raised registered Hereford cattle, Angora goats, and sheep. 

Jenelle's family has a long history in ranching. Her grandfather on her father's side, W.C. Barron, had a ranch in Coke County which he later sold and then purchased the Lipan Springs Ranch in Tom Green County that is just north of the Jim Barron Ranch. Her grandfather on her mother's side, T.J. Lewis, ranched in Coleman County and later moved to San Angelo where he operated a feed store. 

Jenelle has many stories of growing up on the ranch and working alongside her father and the ranch hands. She also learned to drive the ranch truck at a very young age which might have pointed her toward her later career with the DPS Driver's License Service. 

Jenelle attended school in San Angelo until the 4th grade when she went to boarding school in Abilene. She attended High School at Our Lady of Victory (OLV) in Ft Worth. Following high school she attended Texas Women's University in Denton, Texas. 

After college Jenelle worked at many jobs in San Angelo. She worked at Cox- Rushing-Greer Co., Hemphill Wells, Cox Funeral Home, Sears Credit Department, several finance companies, and the Elks Lodge #1880. In 1955 Jenelle began her career with the Texas Department of Public Safety Driver's License Service. She worked for DPS for 31 years and 8 months, retiring in May of 1987.

Jenelle enjoyed being at the ranch, being outdoors and seeing the livestock, especially the babies. She loved her horses, as well as the dogs that she considered to be her children. Jenelle was especially fond of her German Shepherds. She maintained beautiful yards at her home in town, as well as at the ranch. She spent countless hours growing beautiful flowers and plants.

Jenelle is survived by cousins Betty Dusek of Van Court and Gay Allen of Austin. She is also survived by a host of special friends with whom she shared many memories. 

Special thanks are extended to the staff of New Haven Assisted Living, especially Rea Beach and Julia Green, as well as to Rene Rendon and Crystal Hallmark of Concho Hearts Hospice for their dignified, respectful, and loving care of Jenelle.

Honorary pallbearers are Sully Montgomery, Frank Guzman, Clint Harrison, Jeremy Harrison, Mike Bunyard, and Don Foster.

Oleta Inez Boyd of San Angelo, Texas passed away September 21, 2021 in San Angelo. She was 95. 

Best known to family and friends as Inez or “Tutta,” she was born to parents Homer and Erma Bessie Martin in Talpa, Texas on April 22, 1926. She was the first of two daughters, along with sister Joy (Martin) Henkhaus. 

On September 23, 1944, she married Francis Edward “Eddie” Boyd following his return from duty with the United States Air Force in World War II. Together, they raised three sons and forged a life dedicated to the service of their country, their community, their family, and above all else, their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Inez had a wonderfully creative spirit. She was gifted at creating flower arrangements, having studied under Japanese masters and later rising to the rank of state judge in the craft. Additionally, she gardened, painted, played piano, and was a tremendous home cook. She also loved taking her grandchildren on long roadtrips to see the Texas wildflowers each spring, dragged anyone she could get her hands on to church, and was a person to be feared at most card tables. 

She was a dynamic and extraordinary woman of God who lived her life in three states, two continents, and a big blue house on Monroe Street that will always feel like “Christmas Eve” to her grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, sister, and beloved husband Eddie. She is survived by sons Joe Edward Boyd and wife Shelley, of San Angelo; Robert Glenn Boyd and wife Vicki, of Holly Lake, Texas; and Donald Lynn Boyd and wife Linda, of San Angelo; as well as seven grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. 

Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, September 25, 2021 at First Baptist Church in Mertzon, Texas.
