Mona Lee Ensminger, 96, peacefully passed away May 14, 2022 surrounded by her family.

Mona was born December 6, 1925 to Jack and Lila Davidson in Stonewall County, Texas. Mona graduated high school from Divide High School in Nolan County in 1944. On April 27, 1944 Mona married the love of her life Harold Wayne Ensminger in Sweetwater, Tx.

She lived in San Angelo for 76 years and in the same house for 65 of those years. She was a charter member of Johnson St. Church of Christ.

For the first 20 years of her married life, her sole focus was God, her husband, and her family. Later she did add work outside the home to her list. She worked as a checker at retail stores, grocery stores and as manager of a baby store.

She loved watching sports. She watched or listened to most of the Central Bobcat games through the 50-60-70’s. When the Cowboys started, she became an avid fan. Rarely did she ever miss a game. She loved March Madness and really enjoyed watching the Dallas Mavericks. In fact, while in Hospice Care, she watched the Suns and the Mavericks.

If you ever came to her house, you were asked if you were hungry. She fed many a person and gladly prepared a meal for them. Later in her life the house was added on with an extra kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom for her mother. The space was given for others to use after her mom passed. Many family members, church people and needy people had the privilege of Mom and Dad’s generosity for a night, weeks, or months.

She loved her kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and great-great grandkids. Her great great grandkids, Bentley and Berkley, were the little ones that kept her going. She was extremely active until December of this past year.

She will be missed by so many.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my place was ready, In heaven far above, and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me, and told me “Welcome Home.” So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
— David M. Romano, Author

As with his parents, Stan's door was always open to his many relatives and friends. He was always there to greet us except when he was out and about; eating at his favorite restaurant, Zentner's Daughter, finding early morning treasures on Saturdays, or checking on those in need.

Stanley, at an early age, gained special talents for bringing in strays, both animals and humans. He reached out to all of us, in his own way, to give us a piece of his heart with acts of kindness, generosity, and love, leaving us with so many precious thoughts of him.
