Obituary: (New) Sarah Aline Watkins Crump (Laird Funeral Home)

Sarah Aline Watkins Crump

     Just shy of her 95th birthday, Sarah Aline Watkins Crump passed from this wonderful life on January 6th.

     Born on January 29, 1916 in the Linn Flat community of Nacogdoches County, she was the first child of Susan Roach and Sam Houston Watkins. She was educated in the Linn Flat and Trawick public schools until her father decided that she and younger sister Wilma should attend the Thomas J. Rusk Demonstration School on the Stephen F. Austin State College campus and the family moved to Nacogdoches.

     Aline was always an outstanding scholar and shared top honors at her high school graduation. She was also president of her senior class and associate editor of the school newspaper, The Pine Sapling. Continuing her education at Stephen F. Austin, she was always in the highest of scholastic echelons and was a member of the honor society Alpha Chi and the spirit organization, Lumberjackettes.

     After graduating in 1935, she entered the University of Texas at Austin to pursue a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and pledged Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Using her accounting skills, she was a long-time bookkeeping department employee of Waukesha Industries.

     Her true love was travel and she was able to see much of the world that fascinated her. Her travels took her throughout the US, to Europe, the Mediterranean, Nova Scotia, Alaska, Guatemala, Mexico and even camel caravans in Egypt. Unfortunately, her travels were curtailed when her eyesight failed but she continued spreading joy to friends and family in Houston, the State and beyond.

     She is survived by her sister, Wilma Watkins Fuller of Fort Worth, niece Francelle Fuller Franks and husband, Bud; niece Patricia Fuller Meadows and husband Bill; great nieces and nephews Courtney, Chris, Walker and Hannah; two great, great nephews Carter and Sam; and one great, great niece Arden, all of whom she adored.

     Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 11:00 AM in the chapel of Laird Funeral Home. Interment will follow privately at Linn Flatt Cemetery. Visitation will be held also on Tuesday morning beginning at 10:00 AM and lasting until service time. To convey condolences or to sign an online register please visit www.lairdfh.net.

Wright (Democratic): In response to the shooting of US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords

     “It’s a sad day in our nation when a public official is threatened and when violence occurs, it is tragic. The shooting of Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords, Federal Judge John Roll, and all of the other victims in Tucson was a senseless act of violence that can only be condemned in the strongest terms. Once more details surface, justice will follow. Our Nacogdoches County Democrats are hoping and praying for a speedy recovery for Ms. Giffords and our thoughts are with Mr. Roll’s family as they mourn his death, as well as with the families of the the other five fatalities and 11 wounded.”

Yates (Republican): Conservative Speaker Mandate letter & Shooting in Arizona

Friends and Fellow Republicans:

     I received the email below from Jann Stanaland and I thought you might possibly forward it onto someone in another district that you might know. They can use it to see how their State Representative plans to vote. They would simply need to scroll down to the SpeakerMandate.com link and follow the directions.

     Also, I am just hearing about the horrible shooting in Arizona of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords from Arizona. I understand that others were shot. Contact your news source for updated information. Please pray from those that were shot and also please remember to pray for their families.

Subject: Conservative Speaker Mandate letter

     Jann, more than 7,500 Texans have now signed the letter calling on members of the Texas House to elect a conservative House Speaker!

     The signatories include 138 tea party organizers, Republican leaders and conservative movement activists, and nearly 7,400 individuals! They come from all regions of the state, and are united in wanting the Texas House led by a strong conservative.

     The letter and most updated list of signers can be found online: http://www.empowertexans.com/issues/letter_on_leadership

     Need to know where your legislator stands in the Speaker race? Visit SpeakerMandate.com to find out!

     And get your neighbors, friends and family involved in this most important issue.

     The speakership of the Texas House is incredibly powerful, appointing the committee chairs who alone control the flow of legislation. For example, Speaker Straus has said he opposes property tax reforms that benefit taxpayers… and the liberal Democrat he has chairing the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee has bragged about killing all taxpayer protection legislation.

     The House will vote on January 11th, but the Republican caucus will meet to discuss the speakership on Monday, January 10th!

Stay involved!

Local Veteran: A personal request

EverythingNac Note: A personal request sent from Veteran Charles Haley.

     I am a member of the American Legion VFW D.A.V AND V.V.A in Nac. Nacogdoches also has the Marine Corps League and the Patriot Guard. We here in Nac have many ways to serve all our vets and in our community very few vets participate in the activities. I fill like if we don’t start supporting these organizations en masse we could lose a lot of benefits.

     Lets get together and support each other by showing up.
