Rita Sharon Nichols, 77, of Wall, TX, went to be with the Lord on Friday, June 20, 2025 in Wall, TX. Rita was born February 27, 1948, to Perry and Lula Bell Holder Shaud, in Stevenson, Alabama. She is the wife of Nolan Nichols and the mother of Chris Nichols.

Rita valued the importance of higher education. Seeking and obtaining an Associate’s Degree in Psychology, later in life, she inspired and supported her son to pursue his own endeavors of obtaining a Master’s degree.

Rita was a dedicated mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, aka “Bubba.” She loved the beauty of God’s greenery and flowers. Rita enjoyed cleaning, which is weird, according to her loved ones. Her son will no longer have anyone to clean his windows, so he is looking for someone in the family to “step up.” She was the best “bus driver” for her grandchildren. She picked them up and took them wherever they needed to go. Rita enjoyed attending Wall Brethren Church and deeply loved all of her church family. The Wall community will greatly miss seeing her at basketball and volleyball games, track meets, and Friday night football games.

She is preceded in death by her parents and loving stepfather, Mike Shaud, as well as her sister Barbara Kilgore.

She is survived by her husband Nolan of Wall, TX, her son Chris Nichols and wife Amy, her grandchildren Garrett Nichols and wife Hannah, Grant Nichols, and Calista Nichols, her great grandchildren Julianna and Joanna Nichols. She is also survived by her sisters Peggy Reaux, husband Louis, and Judy Dailey, husband Wayne, along with several nieces and nephews.

The Celebration of Life will be at 10:00 A.M., Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at Wall Brethren Church in Wall, TX.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Wall Brethren Church or West Texas Rehabilitation Center Hospice of San Angelo.

Ernest “Kim” Lynn Grasty III, 73, of Roby, Texas, passed away on June 17, 2025, in San Angelo. He was born on July 26, 1951 in El Monte, California.

Kim spent his early years in Southern California, later living in Northern California and Nevada before eventually settling in Roby, Texas.

He also worked at Fallon Air Force Base, where he fueled fighter jets—adding to a life full of hard work and adventure.

His greatest passion, however, was racing. From drag racing to motocross and NASCAR, Kim loved the thrill of the track. But even more than the sport itself, he cherished the people in the racing community. He founded Team Jesus, a ministry that brought chapel services and children’s activities to drag strips and NASCAR events throughout California and Nevada, leaving a lasting impact on many lives.

Kim was known also for his sharp wit and sense of humor. He had a quick comeback for everything and a way of making people laugh, no matter the situation.

Above all, Kim’s deepest love was for his family. He was their biggest fan, especially his grandchildren. Whether in person or from afar, Kim never missed a moment of their races or sporting events, always watching and supporting them with pride and excitement.

Kim is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Paula Grasty; his children, Jeremy Grasty and wife Liz, Sarah Williams and husband Scott, James Grasty and wife Becca, and John Grasty and wife Cassie; grandchildren, Chloe and husband Blake, Hailey, Brady, Chance, Roxie, Connor, Jude, Lydia, and Luke; and his great-granddaughter, Lailynn. He was a great “Papa” to each of them, and they brought him immeasurable joy. He is also survived by his sister, Linda Moke and husband Bob; and nieces, Holly and Erin.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest Lynn Grasty Jr. and Wilma Jean Grasty.
