Neva Ann Conner

Neva Anne Conner was born August 7, 1939 to her parents, Elmer and Mattie Creek in Lea Day. Neva passed away Sunday, March 15, 2026, with her family and friends by her bedside. She quietly went to sleep after a courageous battle with illness. Sleep is what Jesus likened death to in John 11:11-13 when his friend Lazarus had died.

Neva was a very loving person who always put family and friends ahead of herself. She showed the self-sacrificing love Jesus describes at John 13:34. It was important to Neva to take care of others. She had a fantastic business mind and with her dear husband Aubrey they successfully ran several businesses over the years. The first one started in 1963 in Ballinger, called Conner Bumper Works. Then Conner Steel and later ALNC in San Angelo. Other business followed with Neva always managing the financial part of the business.

Neva was preceded in death by her loving parents, Elmer and Mattie Creek, 7 brothers, Frank Creek, Noland Creek, J.D. Creek, Herman Creek, Thurman Creek, Luther Creek and Colie Creek, her two dear sons, Steve Conner in 2013 and Butch Conner in 2023.

Neva is survived by her devoted husband and friend, Aubrey Conner; her loving daughter, Carolyn Wilhite and husband Joe; daughter-in-law, Sonya Conner; 6 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and a brother, Paul Creek.

Neva and Aubrey had a very enjoyable time together. They loved to travel and go on fishing trips with many lifelong friends. She also loved the time her and their great granddaughter, Camryn, spent working beautiful puzzles together.

Neva was a woman of deep genuine faith. She was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on March 1, 1969. She loved to read God's Word the Bible and had a beep love for her God, Jehovah. Neva loved telling others about her loving God and the bright future he promises. This includes the promise of the resurrection mentioned in the Bible at John 5:28 &29 and Acts 24:15.

Neva enjoyed life and believed in the Bible's promise of everlasting life on a paradise earth. One of her favorite scriptures was Revelation 21:3 & 4 where we read the future promise of ne death, mourning of pain. She wanted all her dear friends and family to know how much she loved them and hoped she would see them welcoming her back when she is resurrected into Jehovah's promised new world that his son Jesus will soon bring about as mentioned at Matthew 5:5, and Psalm 37:29

Neva will certainly be missed by numerous family and friends whose hearts she so deeply touched. Her memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 2021 Pulliam St., San Angelo, Texas 76905, on April 4m 226 at 1:30 PM.

Querido Padre,

No pasa un día en que no pensamos en ti. Siempre te vamos a extrañar, hay tantas cosas que quisiera decir. Teníamos historias sin fin, como quisiera volver a escuchar te una vez más. Fuiste un espíritu libre hasta el fin. Tu siempre estarás con nosotras en espíritu. Los recuerdos que más se quedan con nosotras son las que compartimos contigo; cuando íbamos en viajes, a la pesca, incluso cuando hacías unas comidas muy ricas. Dad, nunca estaremos listas para despedirnos de ti. Hay aún relatos que contar, abrazos por darnos, memorias por hacer y el mundo recorrer. Sin embargo, no te diré adiós, pero si un te quiero mucho mi viejito lindo, hasta luego. Siempre estaré agradecida por ver estado en tu vida. Sin más y con mucho amor, siempre estarás en nuestro corazón.

Descansa en paz

Holy Sonnets: "Death, be not proud" By John Donne

"Death, be not proud, though some have called thee

Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;

For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow

Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,

Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,

And soonest our best men with thee do go,

Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.

Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,

And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,

And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well

And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?

One short sleep past, we wake eternally

And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die."

She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Robert Louis Kibbe IV, son Derek Alan Holdridge (Amanda), 4 grandchildren Abbygail Lynn Holdridge, Taylor Renee Holdridge, Jacob Alan Holdridge, Kash Ryan Holdridge.

Betty J Teegarden

Betty Jean Garner Teegarden was born 01-14-1926 and was raised in San Angelo, the fifth of eight kids. She passed away peacefully on 03-14-2026 at the age of 100 yrs and 2 months.

Her remaining siblings are Patsy Decker (92) of Menard, (the eighth) and her baby brother Pete Garner (95) of Granbury. (the seventh)

Betty worked at the Rattlesnake Bomber Base in Peyote, Tx doing clerical work, but said that she would sneak a few rides in the B29 Bomber during pilot training whenever she could.

After raising two children and two husbands (her words) she started looking for more excitement. She rode on the back of a motorcycle to Sturgis at the age of 89. After that she went skydiving, ziplining, and she also flew an ultralight in her 90's.

Betty volunteered for 40 yrs at the VA hospital in Grand Junction. She retired at 95 and moved to Menard where she walked all over town. It was hard to find her without a smile. Decked out in her Rockies jeans, she often stopped on the bridge and look at the San Saba River. (and not on the low water side) Betty said it was prettier on the West side. This made a lot of folks way more nervous than it did her.

Betty was very independent and she lived by herself until Sept. 2025 when she moved to The Crest in San Angelo at the age of 99. She loved the staff, the food, and she loved to walk around the courtyard. Betty was an avid reader and she always had a book nearby.

When she celebrated her 100th birthday in January, The Crest staff surprised her with a visit from several San Angelo Fire Dept firefighters and a ladder truck. Betty was all smiles.

Betty is survived by many, many, friends a strong and far-reaching Garner family. We will all miss her and her antics. With love Aunt Bet, Rest In Peace.
