In Loving Memory of Kristin Deanna Sheets

March 26, 1971 – August 26, 2026

Kristin Sheets, 55, passed away surrounded by the love of her family on August 26, 2026, at Hospice of Wichita Falls. Born on March 26, 1971, Kristin was the beloved daughter of Daniel and Barbara Randolph. Raised in California, she met the love of her life, Mike, while he was stationed in San Diego while enlisted in the U.S Navy. They were married on August 3, 1996, and together built a life defined by warmth, devotion, and deep family connection.

Above all else, Kristin was the woman who taught her family how to truly love. She lived with an open heart and a strong, unwavering spirit. Wonderfully stubborn and fierce in her convictions, her determination was matched only by the depth of her care for those closest to her. That capacity for affection extended deeply to her animal companions as well; over the years, she poured her heart into loving her many cherished dogs, including Sam, Tigger, Dakota, Kodi, Tator Tot, and Jake.

Her love was patient, active, and present in every small gesture. She showed her family by example what it means to care deeply, stand firm, forgive freely, and hold fast to one another through life's every season.

Her memory will be forever cherished and kept alive by her husband, Michael Sheets; her daughters, Laura Garcia and Jennifer Martin; her Mother Barbara Randolph; her brother, Daniel Randolph; alongside her extended family and dear friends.

John is preceded by his parents, Doris and John Denehy.

John’s professional and humanitarian journey have sent him far and wide. He was blessed to make some amazing friends and have fabulous adventures. The things he was most proud to be a part of were his 25 years in the Air Force, volunteering with First Responders in multiple states, and being a teacher.

Johns’ dedication to helping people was only matched by his excitement to learn and to share that knowledge with those around him. His biggest hobby was reloading his own ammunition and competition shooting. He loved sharing his experiences in reloading with his family.

John understood the importance of family and staying together. To share stories, experiences, laughter and love. “Jesus loves you. Pass it on if you can”

His life was marked by an unwavering faith and love for people. He had a heart and passion for community outreach, evangelism and prison ministry. He sought opportunities to encourage other’s and share the hope and love of Jesus Christ.

Esteban faithfully Pastored House of prayer church where he served his congregation with love, dedication and compassion. He was also the founder of P. O. W. W. (prisoners of war wanted) ministries. A ministry born from his passion to reach those who were incarcerated and reminded them that their lives still had purpose, value and hope.

Beyond the pulpit and ministry, Esteban cherished the simple joys of life. He enjoyed spending time at parks, feeding ducks, drinking McDonald’s coffee, and eating breakfast. He was also a proud San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys fan.

Above all, Esteban treasured his family. He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife Marisela G. Carrizales and a loving father.

Teresa Kathleen (Tyler) Knight

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 18:24:44 GMT

In Loving Memory of “Mother” Teresa Kathleen (Tyler) Knight

December 11, 1954 – August 8, 2026

Teresa Kathleen (Tyler) Knight was born December 11, 1954, in Nuremberg, Germany, the sixth of eight children born to Earnest and Dorothy Tyler. She later made her home in Lawton, Oklahoma, where she graduated from Lawton High School and built a life filled with family, hard work, laughter, strong opinions, and more than a few trips to the casino.

Teresa met Ted DeWayne Knight at Pinewood Apartments, and he would become her husband and the father of her children. They married on December 2, 1982, and together raised their daughters, Tabitha, Tasha, and Tiffany. Their life wasn’t always quiet—and anyone who knew Teresa knows she probably wouldn’t have wanted it that way—but family remained at the center of her world.

In 1980, Teresa began a decades-long career with Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Teresa believed in working hard, showing up, and doing what needed to be done—and generally had an opinion about whether everyone else was doing their part, too. She remained with Goodyear until her retirement, making lifelong friendships along the way.

Teresa loved fiercely, laughed loudly, spoke her mind freely, and never left anyone wondering where they stood. She was funny, stubborn, generous, opinionated, and completely herself. She loved her family, her friends, her cigarettes, the casino, TikTok, and doing exactly what she wanted to do.

Just two weeks before her passing, Teresa took one final trip-against nearly everyone’s better judgment- to Panama City Beach, Florida, to spend time with the special friends she had found through her TikTok sisterhood. Even an unexpected overnight stay in the Dallas airport on the way home couldn’t overshadow how good that trip was for her soul. It was Teresa in every way: determined to live her life on her own terms until the very end.

Teresa spent her final years surrounded by the people who loved her, especially her daughter Tabitha, who cared for her at home until the very end. A special thank you goes to Terry and Donna for making the move out west to help care for the family, and to her nurses Charlene, Lacey, and Korie for the love and care they gave Teresa along the way.

She also treasured her special friends Teresa, Karin, Sunni and Sassy along with the many friendships she collected throughout her life. Teresa never needed to know someone forever to make them feel like they had known her forever.

Her grandchildren and the children she loved held an especially tender place in her heart. Little Giana Kathleen shared more than Teresa’s middle name. To the family, Teresa was “Big Kathleen” and Giana was “Little Kathleen.” Before leaving for the waterpark on Teresa’s final day, Giana placed a big pink headband on her Nene’s head. When Tabitha and Giana returned home, Teresa had passed peacefully in her chair—still wearing that big ol’ pink headband. Through heartbreak, there was still laughter, because there was no way Teresa Kathleen was meeting Jesus without it.

Teresa was preceded in death by her husband, Ted DeWayne Knight; her parents, Earnest and Dorothy Tyler; her brothers, Terry and Ernie “Bub” Tyler, sisters Susi Hagerty and Donna Hausch; and her twin sons, whom she lost far too soon and never had the chance to hold while they were living.

There is comfort in imagining what Teresa saw when she closed her eyes here and opened them again: Jesus, her parents, her siblings and loved ones who had gone before her, her husband Ted, and finally the twin boys she had waited a lifetime to hold. What a beautiful reunion that must have been.

Teresa is survived by her daughters, Tabitha and Roberto (Romeo), Tasha and Jason, and Tiffany and Matthew; her grandchildren Nina, Sonny, Angel, Jaxon, Tori, Aria, Colton, and Scarlett; brothers David, Ronnie, and Kevin Tyler; her two favorite nephews, Sonny Strumila and Matt (Boogie) Tyler; her special nieces, Annie Cunningham and Shannon Tyler; adopted children Rachel and Rodney, and Twyla, bonus grandchildren Elijah, Cagan, Giana, Tamia, TaVonn, and Brody; and many other nieces, nephews, relatives, friends, coworkers, TikTok sisters, and people lucky enough to have been loved by her.

Teresa Kathleen Knight lived exactly the way she wanted—on her terms. She worked hard, loved hard, laughed often, spoke her mind, occasionally drove everyone crazy, and left behind stories that will be told for generations.

She was one of a kind.

And anyone who knew Teresa knows there will never be another one quite like her.

In Loving Memory of Steven Michael Guthrie

February 24, 1956 – August 5, 2026

Steve Guthrie, of Frederick, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on August 5, 2026, surrounded by loved ones.

Steve wasn't much for long speeches. He was more of a send a meme and make you laugh kind of guy. If you were friends with him on Facebook, chances are he brightened your day with a dry joke, a sarcastic one-liner, or a meme describing the painful accuracy of aging with humor. He believed life was better when you could laugh through it, and that's how he'll be remembered.

Steve was born in Kansas City, MO to William F. Guthrie and Helen E. Gorman on Feb 24, 1956. He spent many years as a skilled clock repairman and proudly owned Arlington Clock Repair until retiring in 2022. He took great pride in his work, filling his home with an alarming, and anxiety-provoking, amount of ticking clocks.

On July 27, 2012, Steve married Sandra Herrera. She always had something to say, and Steve always had a comeback; it worked perfectly. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and lots of sarcasm. In their final years together, although they faced many trials, their faith in God and devotion to one another never waivered. In October of 2022, they relocated to Frederick, Oklahoma, embracing a new chapter, a lower cost of living, and a pace of life that suited them just fine.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, William and Helen Guthrie, one sister, Linda Carson, and a brother, William (Bill) Guthrie. He is survived by his loving wife, Sandra Guthrie, and three children, Brooke Meier, of Hot Springs, AR., Sara McBride of Mansfield, TX, and Michael Guthrie, of Mansfield, TX. Other surviving family members include his Stepson, Joseph Stewart, from Justin, TX, Stepdaughter, Regina Saldana of Edmond, OK., and Grandchildren, Nicole and Ethan Meier, Henry and Andrew Stewart, and Mariana Saldana.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Complete Hospice for the compassionate care and kindness they provided Steve during his final days.

Steve leaves behind laughter, stories, and countless lives made brighter because of him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. For those who knew Steve best, the gentle ticking of the clocks he so carefully restored was simply part of home. After his passing, Sandi quietly spoke the words that captured both his life's work and the depth of their love... "The ticking has stopped, my love."

Joey Dale Hill

In Loving Memory of Joey Dale Hill

November 21, 1973 – August 1, 2026

Joey Dale Hill, a lifelong resident of Geronimo, Oklahoma, passed away on August 1, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of public service, a hearty appetite, a big heart for animals, and a quick wit he was famous for.

Joey was born on November 21, 1973, he was the son of Matthew William Hill and Bertha Divine Hill and grew up in Geronimo, graduating from Geronimo High School (Class of 1992). With a natural knack for making people laugh—often reminding those around him of a classic Jeff Foxworthy routine—if there was a clever quip to be made, a good meal to be enjoyed, or a room to be brightened, Joey was the man for the job.

Joey lived a life of public service, beginning in 1997 when he became employed by the Geronimo Police Department. Joey’s dedication didn’t stop there, as he furthered his law enforcement career with the Fort Sill Police Department in 2002 faithfully serving until 2019. During this time, he also served the Walters community as a reserve police officer, often times pulling double duty answering the call for service. While employed by the Fort Sill Police Department he served in various roles. During his career, he served as the second in command for the Traffic Section. During his tenure in the Traffic Section, Joey received certificates in Advanced Traffic investigations, Crash Reconstruction, SFST’s and more. Joey eventually promoted to the rank of Sergeant, then to Lieutenant, where he finished his career.

A dedicated community member, Joey served as a retired police officer, spending time working in the reserves in Walters, Oklahoma. He also spent time driving a trash truck, where he became a local legend to the canine population—he knew every single dog on his route by name and always made sure to bring along a treat for each of them. Away from work, Joey was never one to miss a good game or race; he loved cheering on OSU football and watching NASCAR. He also shared a special bond with his boys celebrating the 4th of July, always looking forward to lighting up firecrackers together in Geronimo. Whether he was on the job, following his favorite teams, setting off fireworks with his sons, or swapping stories, Joey brought warmth and humor everywhere he went.

Joey’s greatest pride and joy were his family. He met his loving wife, Angela Jean Rollins Hill, in Lawton, Oklahoma, and they were married at the little chapel in Lawton on May 30, 1998, sharing 28 wonderful years together. They quickly established their home in Geronimo, where they built their life side by side.

He is also survived by his sons and their families: Justin Tyler Hill, his fiancée McKenzie Keith, and their son Kayson Hill, of Wichita Falls, Texas; along with Justin's son, Jackson Hill, David Matthew Hill and his fiancée, Christine Germann, of Lawton, Oklahoma, along with their son, Levi Hill.

His siblings and their families: sister, Lisa Mitchell, brother, Matt Hill Jr., his wife Kim, and their children Haley and Austin, his brother, William "Bill" Hill and his wife, Amanda, along with their children Colton, Landon, Lillian, and Celeste.

Joey’s warmth, laughter, and sharp wit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved. He leaves behind a whole lot of wonderful memories—and quite a few punchlines.

A celebration of life to honor Joey’s memorial will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the elementary school gymnasium in Geronimo, Oklahoma. Family, friends, and community members are invited to gather, share stories, and celebrate all the wonderful ways he touched their lives.

In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome.

She looked forward to every opportunity to spend time with them, creating lasting memories filled with laughter, love, and encouragement. To Nancy, family was life’s greatest blessing, and she poured her heart into those she loved.

Nancy was known for her strong work ethic and independent spirit. She genuinely enjoyed working and took pride in serving others throughout her life. She began her career as a talented hairdresser, touching the lives of countless clients with both her skill and her warm personality. Never one to stop learning, Nancy later pursued higher education and earned her Master’s degree in counseling, fulfilling her desire to help and encourage others through compassion, wisdom, and understanding.

Life brought Nancy many health challenges, but she faced each one with incredible courage and determination. She was a true fighter whose resilience inspired everyone around her. No matter what obstacles she encountered, she continued to move forward with faith, hope, and remarkable strength.

Nancy is lovingly remembered by her son and his wife, Ben & Tanya White, five grandchildren, Alyssa, Aliyah, Lexi, Harper, and Jaxon, her brother, Roland, her sister, Lori, and many extended family members and dear friends whose lives were enriched by her kindness, generosity, and faith.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Muriel and Roland, and her older sister Mary Anne, whom she now joins in eternal peace.

While her absence leaves an immeasurable void, her family finds comfort in knowing that Nancy is now healed, whole, and resting in the loving arms of her Savior.

In Loving Memory of Cathy Hicks-Davis

May 25, 1959 – July 18, 2026

Celebrating the life of Cathy Hicks-Davis.

Cathy passed away July 18, 2026. She was surrounded by those she loved most and is now resting peacefully in the arms of Jesus. We cherish our memories with her and miss her deeply but are glad she is in a better place. She is survived by her father: Marion Hicks, her children; Sharon Dunlap, (Johnny Dunlap), Daniel Musick, (Janie Musick), and Bobby Callaway, (Lori Callaway), and her grandchildren: Caiti Dunlap, Jackson Callaway, Madelyn Callaway, Lola Callaway, Nathan Davis, Allison Musick, and Ryan Musick. We will be announcing a memorial for her here and on Facebook.

Cathy was born in Sweetwater, Texas to Annie and Marion Hicks on March 25, 1959. One of 8 kids she had 4 brothers: Lonnie, Danny, Ricky, and Johnny, and 3 Sisters: Dena, Jeannie, and Carolyn. She had a love for reading and learning at an early age. She completed an Associates in Arts and Business and a Bachelors in Psychology and eventually earned her Master's Degree in Organizational Management. She was a bookkeeper for Kelly Moore Paint Co for most of her professional career. She was also a writer and wrote articles for religious periodicals. She was a published author and prize winner in poetry. Through her writing she touched many lives.

She had diverse interest, from science and medicine to science fiction shows on TV. She loved "Star Trek" and the show "Tiny Shiny Homes". She enjoyed "Little House on the Prairie" and would often cry during the episode with more emotional story lines. Cathy also liked to draw and sing.

Her favorite season was Christmas season, and it lasted all year. She would always have a little Christmas tree decorated in her house. She loved the lights and would look at them and say, "They're just so pretty!"

Cathy loved people and people loved her. She had genuine love for others that was apparent in how she lived life. She had extraordinary empathy for others and loved animals. She loved her furry little friends so much she treated them like people. If she had it to give it was yours without attachment or condition.

She loved to give gifts and loved greeting cards. We loved getting cards from her because they were always thoughtful and her handwriting was beautiful. At Christmas she could hardly wait to give presents and often would coax you into opening it early. "Do you want it now?", she would say.

There is so much more that could be said about our dearest Mom, Daughter, Sister, & Friend, but we will just leave you with this: she fought her way through this life struggles with a deep love for Jesus, dignity, and kindness. She was so sweet and warm, and the size of the universe is not large enough to measure how much she will be missed.

If you knew her please take time to experience something she loved: donate money to someone in need, adopt a pet, watch the animated version of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast", eat some chocolate, or a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, send someone a sweet Hallmark card and some stationary, call a friend who is hurting and needs someone to talk to, tell your kids and parents you love them, pray for someone hurting, and put up some Christmas lights or decorate the whole house, and you will be honoring her memory.

This is her published poem, and it perfectly describes her.

I Wish

I wish I were a star above

Looking down upon the earth

If I could, I would twinkle bright

To light up land and earth

I wish I were the air around

To touch creation near

To hear the sighs and feel the breath

Of all those far and near

I wish I were the water in the sea

To float with ship and sail

To splash the beach and whip the wind

And quench the thirst of all I can

I wish I were a tiny baby

Looking up into my mother's eyes

To see the tears foam up and smile

The love in her heart to feel a while

September 10, 1942 – July 4, 2026

Celebrating the Life of Francisca Hinojosa V.

Our beloved matriarch, Francisca Hinojosa, passed away on July 4, 2026, at the age of 83. Francisca was born in Mexico on September 10, 1942, and carried a warmth and vibrant spirit with her everywhere she went. Many will remember Francisca from her 30 dedicated years as a cook at the Norseman Supper Club in Argyle, Wisconsin. Her love language was cooking, and she fed her community with the same passion that she poured into her family.

After retiring, she made her home in Wichita Falls, Texas, where she focused on what mattered most to her: family. Francisca was a bright light who was loved by all who met her. Her home was always filled with love, laughter, and the wonderful aromas of her kitchen.

Her beautiful legacy lives on through her seven children: Leona Yorns of Corpus Christi, Texas; Cuauthemoc Cuevas and his wife, Irma, of Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico; Benito Cuevas and his wife, Melissa, of Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico; Xochitl Pruit of Wichita Falls, Texas; Barrie Green of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Ismael Hinojosa and his wife, Betty Jo; and Monica Forsgren and her husband, Brent Smith; her six surviving siblings in Mexico; and her many cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Francisca’s love and warmth will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Her service will be held at Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel on Friday, July 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Interfaith Outreach Services, 1101 11th Street, Wichita Falls, Texas 76301, or Hospice of Wichita Falls, 4909 Johnson Road, Wichita Falls, Texas 76310.

In Loving Memory of Donna Sue Tate

August 30, 1947 - July 5, 2026

Donna Sue Tate, 78, of Wichita Falls, Texas, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2026. She was born on August 30, 1947, in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Donna was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years, Lowell Tate; and her parents, William Ralph Stafford and Eva June Stafford.

She is lovingly survived by her daughter, Tanya Wyatt and husband, Jimmy; her son, Brad Tate; her grandchildren, Alyssa Evans and husband, Terrell, and Brayden Wyatt and wife Huntlee; and her cherished great-grandchildren, Jolie Evans, Truett Evans, and Hudson Wyatt. She is also survived by a brother Jimmy Stafford and a sister-in-law Sue Tate and 5 nieces and nephews.

Donna was a faithful member of First Baptist Church in Wichita Falls, where her faith was an important part of her life.

Donna found great joy in crafting and creating beautiful flower arrangements. She loved spending time working in her yard, tending to the flowers that brought her so much happiness. More than anything, Donna treasured her family. Her grandchildren, Alyssa and Brayden, were truly the loves of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She was overjoyed to watch her family grow with the addition of her great-grandchildren, who brought her endless pride and happiness.

Donna will be remembered for her kind heart, creative spirit, and unwavering love for her family. Her warmth, generosity, and gentle presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Though she is no longer with us, the love she shared and the memories she created will remain in the hearts of her family and friends forever.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff and friends at Graham Oaks Care Center and Beyond Faith Hospice of Graham, Texas, for the compassionate care, kindness, and love they showed Donna during her journey with dementia. Your patience, friendship, and dedication brought comfort not only to Donna but also to her family. Thank you for loving her as deeply as we did and for treating her with such dignity, respect, and compassion.

One of Donna's funniest sayings shared with her family came during her battle with dementia. With honesty and grace, she once said, "I've lost my knowings." Those simple words captured the challenges she faced with remarkable clarity. Today, her family finds comfort in knowing that she is whole again in the presence of Jesus. She has found every one of her "knowings," and her mind, heart, and spirit have been fully restored. That hope gives her family peace as they celebrate the promise of eternal life and look forward to seeing her again.

A celebration of Donna's life will be held at a later date. The family appreciates the many prayers, acts of kindness, and support shown during this difficult time.

In Loving Memory of Phillip Brian Holt

September 22, 1958 – June 29, 2026

Following a lengthy battle with cancer, it is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Phillip Brian Holt, age 67, who passed away on June 29, 2026, in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Brian was born on September 22, 1958, in Wichita Falls, Texas, to Levi J. Holt and Rosemary Holt. He grew up in Wichita Falls surrounded by lots of family and graduated from S.H. Rider High School in 1976. After high school, Brian joined the United States Marine Corps and was stationed in Oceanside, California. He later returned home to Wichita Falls, where he lived a full life.

Brian worked in the auto parts industry for many years, including with United Electric, Carquest, and Chief Auto Parts. He loved working on cars and spent time helping at his uncle’s garage. Over the past 40-plus years, Brian truly lived life to the fullest. He played on numerous softball teams with friends and coworkers, even making it to the finals. Later in life, he enjoyed traveling and visited Florida, Las Vegas, the Philippines, and China.

Brian loved spending time outdoors, family get togethers at Lake Nocona and especially fishing with his son and grandsons. He also enjoyed driving RC cars with his son. He was a great dad to his children and an amazing PawPaw to his grandsons. Brian was also as stubborn as he could be, all the way until the end — a quality that those who loved him knew well.

Brian is survived by his loving children, Crystal Russell and husband Tony of Wichita Falls, and Brian (Mikey) Holt of Wichita Falls; his grandchildren, Ernest Russell and wife Aubrey of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Michael Holt of Oklahoma, and Cameron Holt, Jayden Holt, and Jase Holt, all of Wichita Falls; and his great-granddaughter, Sadie Russell of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

He is also survived by Joy Vance, whom he married on March 10, 1978. Though they later divorced in February 1999, they remained close friends throughout the years, and Joy faithfully stood by him through his chemotherapy treatments, surgery and numerous doctor’s appointments over the past three years.

Brian is also survived by his brothers, Steve Holt and wife Lea of Runaway Bay, Texas, Rodney Holt and wife Kathy of Destin, Florida, and Jeff Holt and wife Cecilia of Argyle, Texas; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.

In addition to his own family, he was also blessed with the enduring love of the Vance family, who lovingly accepted him as one of their own and shared more than four decades of cherished memories together. They remained a constant source of love, laughter, and support throughout his life.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Levi J. and Rosemary Holt; his paternal grandparents, Levi C. and Lora Doris Holt; and his maternal grandparents, Chester and Katherine McKee, nephew Travis Holt, cousins Terry Holt and Arthur Pasa and numerous aunts and uncles.

Cremation is under the direction of Wichita Falls Embalming Service and Cremations of the Wichitas. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of Wichita Falls.

"Family isn't always defined by blood, but by the love we choose to give one another."

In Loving Memory of Brenda Waggoner

April 9, 1957 – June 26, 2026

Brenda (Johnson) Beebe Waggoner, 69, of Iowa Park, Texas, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Brenda was born on April 9, 1957, in Honolulu, Hawaii to Connie and Mary Stanley Johnson.

Nothing made Brenda happier than having her family together. Whether everyone was gathered around the dinner table, planning the next family adventure or simply spending time together, those were the moments she treasured most.

Being a mom and especially a Meme brought Brenda more joy than anything else. She loved fiercely, celebrated wholeheartedly, and treasured every opportunity to make memories with the people she loved.

She found happiness in traveling on cruises, cheering on her favorite NASCAR drivers (and just as enthusiastically rooting against a few others), watching her grandson Connor race go-karts, treating herself to a good mani/pedi, spoiling her beloved canine companion, Frances, and admiring Highland cows. If you knew Brenda, you knew the quickest way to make her smile was talking about her family, planning her next cruise, or showing her a Highland cow.

Anyone who ever sat down at Brenda's table knew there was simply no beating her homemade chicken and dumplings. Like so many things she did, they were made with love and meant to be shared.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Connie Johnson and Mary Stanley Johnson; her first husband, Ruppert Beebe; and her beloved cousin and best friend, Karen Farmer.

Brenda is survived by her beloved husband of 40 years, Lark Waggoner; her sons, Ruppert "Bubba" Beebe and wife Corky, and Wesley Waggoner and wife Morgan; her sisters, Guin Johnson, and Wendy Hartman and husband Randy; her grandchildren, Michael, Mackenzie, Bishop, Connor, KC, Kase, and Sam; her great-grandchildren, Addie and Ethan; her faithful canine companion, Frances; and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends whose lives she touched.

In keeping with Brenda's wishes, there will be no traditional funeral service. Instead, her family will gather at a later date to celebrate her life with stories, laughter, and the love she shared so generously throughout her life.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing that Brenda's love, strength, and devotion will continue to live on in the family she cherished and in the countless memories she leaves behind.

She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.

In Loving Memory of Andy “Bigg Daddy” Ryan

July 29, 1980 – June 13, 2026

Andrew “Bigg Daddy” Ryan was born July 29, 1980, in Newport News, Virginia and was the only child of Frank Ryan and Hellen Gunnels. He passed away suddenly in Fort Worth, TX on June 13, 2026.

Andy graduated from Hirschi High School in 1998 and obtained an Associate in Applied Science for Computer Drafting and Design in May of 2008. He’s worked several occupations from Best Buy & The State Hospital, but the longest and most recent was as an Insurance Adjuster.

When it came to a party it wasn’t truly one until you heard his trademark “Yeah buddy!!!” as it goes back as far as “Ice Cream Paint Job”. The apple did not fall far from the tree when it came to Andy and our late Nana. Just like her, he never met a stranger, just a friend that he didn’t know yet. And throughout his time his bright smile, kindness, and sense of humor had such a lasting impact on others that his sons would constantly hear that joyful comment, “Are you Andy’s son? Man, you have his great demeanor!” By all who had the pleasure of knowing him, he will truly be missed.

Preceded in death by: Hellen Gunnels (mama); Frank Ryan (Father); Elmo & Viola Gunnels Sr (grandparents) Annie Ruth & husband Fred Swanson (Aunt & Uncle); Elmo Gunnels Jr. & wife (uncle); Ellen Williams (Aunt) Andrew & wife Bettye Gunnels (uncle/aunt); Golda Adams (aunt); Beverly Adams-Waggoner (cousin);

In Loving Memory of Thomas Andrew Cain

September 10, 1971 - May 17,2026

Tom Cain 54, of lowa Park passed into the loving arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on May 17, 2026. Celebration of life services will be held at Red River Cowboy Church, 121 N Ave E, Burkburnett, Tx on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 11am, Pastor Clay Kahler officiating.

Tom attended Franklin High School in Franklin, NH. After high school, Tom worked in construction, helping build houses and apartments, then began a career in long haul trucking. He medically retired from trucking in 2009.

Tom was most certainly a "jack of all trades". He could bake, sew, cook a 5-course meal, and fix an engine all in the same day. He loved to dig in and get his hands dirty, learning everything he possibly could.

In 2017, he found his true passion and began installing above ground pools. This would lead to the creation of North Texas Pool Guys. He truly enjoyed helping people find what they were looking for and helping them get the most out of their investment.

Tom also served as not only a sound/livestream technician at Red River Cowboy Church, but also oversaw maintenance, and served as the very first Deacon. A position he was truly humbled to receive. His faith in our Lord Jesus Christ never wavered in his last days. He was a shining example of trusting the Lord, especially when we don't understand.

Tom is survived by his wife Jessi of the home. He is also survived by his mother, Annette, six children; Ryan Cain of Denton, Tx., Kyle Cain and wife Ariel of Electra, Tx. Brittni Cain of Ames, lowa, Kilee Roe and husband Collin of lowa Park, Megan Lee and husband Kody of Wichita Falls, and Samantha Taylor and husband Cody of lowa Park. His siblings, sister Jeanette, and brothers Phil, Mike and Joe, all of New Hampshire. Tom also leaves behind 8 grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, extended family, a host of friends, and a church family he loved dearly.

The family would like to express our sincere appreciation for the staff at United Regional, specifically floors 3 Center and 7 West ICU, and also Hospice of Wichita Falls for the exceptional care he received during his last days.

Lynn Ruth Langlois

With profound sadness and grief, we share the news of the death of Lynn R. Langlois, who died on March 13, 2026. She was sixty four years old.

Lynn was a passionate, caring, and an outgoing woman whose smile and personality was magnetic. She loved her family, friends, animals, gardening, supporting multiple charities, concerts, and traveling around the world. Her efforts through volunteering with veterans organizations, particularly making quilts for our veterans, touched the lives of so many retired United States service members. Lynn was generous and devoted to her family, very much the caretaker. She was the family member, neighbor, and friend you could count on. Often stray dogs and the dogs in her neighborhood would find their way to Lynn’s front door, where she fed them, loved them, and let them stay if they needed shelter.

Lynn was a lightening bolt of love; undeniably bright and stunning, someone you could laugh hard with. She will be missed each day, even her sometimes colorful expressions when something really annoyed her. Her many interests included learning about life, thrifting, concerts, flea markets, exploring the world and savoring different cultures, and any DIY project. Lynn spent more than 30-years as a yardmaster in the railroad industry who held her own in a challenging career.

One of six children born in Duchess County, New York, to Joan (Debyah) Langlois and Donald Langlois, where she learned valuable character and life lessons on the farm together with her siblings: Michael, Carol, Judy, (Lynn), Donald, and Elizabeth. She was blessed with a very large and extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and nieces and nephews.

Lynn lived in Sterling, OK, and in recent years moved to Fishkill, NY, where she shared her life with Chris Rucker and his sons Dylan and Brandon.

The Langlois family extends our heartfelt gratitude for the kindness, sympathy, and prayers expressed. Lynn would ask others to remember her by being generous and kind, by sharing a meal with laughter, enjoying a concert, and planting flowers in your garden.

A celebration of life service will be determined in the future. Memorials in her honor can be made to: The American Heart Association, sanctioned U.S. Veterans organizations, and your local Humane Society.

Until we meet again in the House of the Lord. “In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11.

James ‘Gup’ LeRoy Frank,

Born on July 9,1958 to Thomas ‘Tom’ and Jeannine Frank, passed away peacefully, at the age of 67, on Monday July 28, 2025, with his wife Tina Frank and family by his side.

Growing up in Richfield, Minnesota it was often joked that his dad was in school more than he was. His siblings, Mary, Mike and Theresa ‘Taf’ (Dave) felt lucky to have a guy like him by their side growing up. He was described as an independent risk taker who would do anything for those close to him.

His summers were spent, with his siblings and cousins, at the family cabin, on Lake Belle Taine, in Nevis, MN. At the age of 17 he left home to join the army, moving south to Lawton, Oklahoma.

After proudly serving his country for three years he was discharged from the military and pursued a career in plumbing. He spent many years honing his plumbing abilities becoming a master plumber and opening his own business, Gup’s Plumbing. He mentored many up-and-coming plumbers throughout his long career.

While living in Oklahoma Gup had three children, Casey, Megan (Justin) and Thomas ‘T.J.’ and helped to raise his nephew Josh. He became ‘Papa Gup’ for the first time in 2000 to granddaughter McHale and again in 2010 to grandson Markaus. In 2004 Gup moved to Minnesota with Megan and Thomas ‘T.J.’ starting life in Nevis, Minnesota where he made many lifelong friends. In 2013 while plumbing in International Falls, MN, making more lifelong friends as he so often did, he met the love of his life Tina, whom he married on September 27,2019 gaining bonus children Jeff (Cansis) and Amanda (Chad), and bonus grandchildren Olivia, Emma, Jayde, Chloe, Piper, Miley, and another on the way, Gup enjoyed traveling. He and Tina went on many adventures together, from visiting family and friends in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Texas to Las Vegas, where they were married, to Nashville, New Orleans, Yellowstone, and so many other places. They were always on the go whether they were surprising someone with an impromptu visit, which they loved to do, or just out enjoying the sights.

He was a bright light in this world, always having a smile on his face and a story to tell. He touched many lives during his time, from his many nieces and nephews and other family members to the many friends he made along the way.

Gup was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas ‘Tom’ and Jeannine Frank, his sister-inlaw Jayne Frank, brother-in-law Mark ‘Chach’ Angus, and close friend Becca Gibitz.

Waller of Franklin, KY, brother-in-law Tim Everett of Minot, ND, and good friend ‘Girlfriend’ Jani Christensen of International Falls, MN
