Walter L. C. Trowbridge went peacefully home to be with his Heavenly Father Saturday night in the presence of family.

He was a quiet man who loved his family and loved the Lord. L. C. “Pa” devoted himself to taking care of his family and always put others before himself.

He was born June 27, 1923 in Brown County, the son of Elbert Earl Trowbridge and Steva Mae Washburn Trowbridge. He lived in Brownwood until about the age of seven when he and his family moved to San Saba County. He attended elementary school in Bowser and later high school in Richland Springs where he became a star football player.

L. C. was working on a ranch at Indian Creek in Brown County when he met Irene Watkins whom he married on September 24, 1941. He was later drafted into the Army during W. W. II and served from July 5, 1944 until being honorably discharged on November 17, 1946. While serving in the U. S. Army, he was in occupational services in Japan serving as a Staff Sgt. of heavy weapons. Following his discharge, he lived in Brownwood and worked as a roughneck and driller in the oil fields across Central Texas.

In 1957, he went to work for the San Angelo Fire Department. In 1981, he was involved in a terrible automobile accident which almost took his life, but with the help from doctors and the grace of God, he lived through the many injuries following three major surgeries within the next year. He retired from the Fire Department in 1982 following twenty-five years of service.

L. C. was preceded in death by his wife, Irene on August 17, 1966 as well as his parents Elbert Earl and Steva Mae Trowbridge, two brothers, Curtis A. and Joe D. Trowbridge. In 1977, he began dating Ila Ruth Ray, a family friend from past years and they were married September 15, 1997. They joined the Glen Meadows Baptist Church in 1997 where they attended regularly until the past few years when L. C. became homebound due to painful health problems.

L. C. loved to cook. His special request was always for his famous Turkey and dressing at Thanksgiving and Christmas. He also loved to fish with his sons and grandsons. In later years, he and his wife Ruth joined an RV travel club and traveled across the country making new friends and sharing great times.

Patricia “Jeanne” Wilson was born on June 17th, 1933 in Kaufman, TX to Kate Allen Dickson and Samuel Bryan Dickson. Jeanne went to be with Jesus on July 6th, 2018 at 85 years old.

Jeanne was the third of four beautiful daughters who shared a passion for family. Her family moved to San Angelo, TX when she was just a young girl.

Jeanne was an active member of the First Christian Church of San Angelo where she was an avid singer in the choir. She sang all over town at different events and her passion for music filled every room when she would sing. At a young age, Jeanne worked at Cox Rush & Greer where she learned how to wrap beautiful gifts which benefited her family for many years.

Jeanne passed on a lot of memories about growing up in San Angelo to her grandchildren who loved to hear the stories. These were shared once, twice, maybe six times.

Jeanne attended San Angelo College, where she was an Angelette and a very proud student. She went on to graduate from North Texas with a Teaching Degree. Jeanne came from a long line of very gifted educators, and she began teaching at an elementary school in Fort Worth, TX when she was introduced to the love of her life, Lawrence Ronald Wilson. These two would spend the next 61 years together. Their first date was to see the movie Around the World in 80 Days. Soon after, they were married on June 2nd 1957 just a few days after Lawrence was discharged from the military.

Lawrence and Jeanne had two children, Lawrence Ronald Wilson Jr. and Kelley Elizabeth Wilson. They lived and traveled as a family all over the United States and Europe, while making wonderful memories together.

Jeanne was also an artist and painted beautiful pieces of scenery she had seen on her many adventures. She loved the beauty and simplicity of wildflowers and would often take trips to the hill country to see them.

Jeanne was also an amazing seamstress and loved creating unique and beautiful pieces of clothing for her family and many others. She taught several people how to cook and fed her family all while creating laughter and making incredible memories.

Jeanne loved to play the piano, sing, and listen to music and would always have music playing in her house. Her love for music was instilled in her family and they will always remember how much she loved piano pieces from Giovanni, Barry Manilow, and The Beegees.

Jeanne loved Jesus more than anything else in this world and was the epitome of a Godly woman. She dedicated most of her life spreading the gospel to anyone who would listen.

Jeanne also loved coffee, almost as much as she loved Jesus. You would never find her without a fresh cup of coffee. If you did, there was something wrong.

One of her famous phrases was “Meanwhile back at the ranch…” which could mean just about anything. It was her favorite way of starting a sentence and would almost always make everyone in the room laugh. Jeanne had the most infectious laugh that would turn anyone’s frown upside down.

When her family would tell her that they loved her, she would almost always respond with, “Not as much as I love you…”

Jeanne is preceded in death by her father and mother, Samuel Bryan Dickson and Kate Allen Dickson, and her step mother, Martha Lou Dickson. Her three sisters, Mary Catherine Cheek, Elsie Rankin, and Allene Martin. Her granddaughter, Kristen Leigh Millican, and grandson, Tomi Wilson.

Jeanne is survived by her husband, Lawrence Ronald Wilson, her son and daughter, Lawrence Ronald Wilson Jr. and Kelley Wilson Millican, her granddaughters, Katie Renee Gully, Kara Noel King, and Kayla Taylor Millican, grandson in laws, Wade Houston King and Morry Jerome Miller, and great grandchildren, Kelton Ethan Gully, Kaden Lawrence Lee Gully, Raia Cebele Avants, and Oliver Hanley Taylor.

Jeanne’s family invites you to her celebration of life on Tuesday, July 10th at 11 a.m. at Johnson’s Funeral Home with a burial service to follow at Belvedere Memorial Park Cemetery.

Our beloved Emma Lozano went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, July 7th, 2018. She took her last breath surrounded by her loving family.

Emma was a woman whose love and kind spirit was felt by all who knew her. Her heart was always open to anyone in need. Her kindness was even shared with her patients she served as a nurse for over 35 years. She was a faithful employee of Angelo Community Hospital and took pride in her work and those she worked with.

The family will always cherish the legacy she left for her children and grandchildren. She was a hard worker and believed in making an honest living. She was a patriot at heart and loved her country; she would even stand for the national anthem in her living room, with her hand over her heart as it played before the NFL football games. She was a woman of faith and boldly shared her faith with anyone. The children and grandchildren will forever hold in their hearts the teaching and instruction of faith that she so often shared. Even throughout her last days of pain, Emma continued to declare her faith and love for God. When the time came to discuss her time left in this life, Emma boldly stated to her family and even the doctor in the room, “No matter what happens, whether I live or die, I am victorious.”

The Lord knew Emma’s love for Him. In her last moments of life, with her last remaining strength, Emma declared, “I am ready to go home.” She lifted her finger, pointed upwards, and then boldly stated, “Tonight.” The Lord honored her, and within 25 minutes, our dear Emma went home with her Lord and Savior. This is the legacy she leaves for her Children and Grandchildren. To love God and country, live for God, and walk in faith.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Prieto, Dr. Boyd, Dr. Graham and their staff. In addition, the family sends a sincere thank you to the attending nurses and medical staff of San Angelo Community Medical Center.

Anna Teresa Gonzales was born on October 30, 1992 and passed away on July 11, 2018.

Cruz Gomez Niavez was born on May 3, 1932, in Mason, Texas. He entered heaven on July 8, 2018.

Cruz, also known as “Papa Cruz” was a lover of music and entertainment. By the age of eight, he taught himself how to play the guitar. He played numerous venues throughout his lifetime and he sang wherever a song or singer was requested, be it a serenata, a wedding, or a quinceañera. We will always treasure the memories around our house with aunts, uncles, and cousins enjoying the party.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our song, written especially for us, “Mis Cuatro Joyas.”

He helped form a mariachi trio “Los Tres Amigos” with Pablo Castro and Chon Hernandez and had the pleasure of playing with several other musicians. He was a prolific songwriter and composer with a song catalogue of 144 songs in the Tejano/Mariachi genre, the music of the heart and soul. He was determined to have a life as a musician, a journey that seemed to be destined for him. His musical talent can only be described as God-given.

After suffering three strokes at the age of 64, life changed his destiny once again. Encouraged by his daughter, Evelyn, he took up painting. In the last 10 years, he created over 500 original paintings.

Papa Cruz had a great sense of humor. He was courageous; giving up was never an option. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. He kept strong in his faith by praying a daily rosary. Papa Cruz, you will be truly missed. We love you forever.

Cruz is preceded in death by his wife, Rachel Aguirre Niavez, and daughter, Bernice Niavez Logay.

He is survived by his daughters, Evelyn Niavez of San Angelo, TX, Marina Niavez Brown and husband Mark of Palmdale, CA, and Cynthia Niavez Bassham and husband Robert of San Angelo, TX. He is also survived by his son-in-law, Matthew Logay; his granddaughters, Taylor Renee Brown, 23, Nicole Marie Brown, 17, and Renee Solis, 14, as well as twin sisters, Lala Aguirre, Rosa Garcia and a very special brother in law, Noe Aguirre.

A graveside service will be held at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens on July 14, 2018, at 2 p.m.
