Celebration of life services will be at 2:00 PM on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at Robert Massie Riverside Chapel. Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.

Lu Worsham was born February 19, 1944, in San Angelo, Texas. He attended schools in the Lake View Independent School District, and he graduated from Lake View High School in 1962. He entered the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University in College Station, where he proudly played in the Fighting Aggie Band. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education on August 23, 1968, and later took graduate courses at the University of Texas in Austin.

Lu joined the U.S. Army in October 1970 as a First Lieutenant with the III Corps of Engineers, 1st Cavalry Division. During his career, he served at Fort Hood, Texas; Fort Belvoir, Virginia; Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Mainz, Germany; Pineville, Louisiana (where he earned a Master's Degree); and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. While stationed in Hawaii, he deployed to Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands. He also completed Advanced Jungle Training in Panama.

Lu retired from active duty in October 1990 after 20 years of service and returned to San Angelo with his family, where he planned to teach elementary school and tutor students through the school district. During this time he was also Vice President of Direct Broadcast Systems, a forerunner of today's WiFi.

In 2000 Lu retired and moved back to San Angelo and in 2006 he met his future wife, Lesley.

Roland Worth Howard, II

Roland Worth Howard, II, 78, left his earthly home Saturday, May 23, 2026. He was born to Roland Worth “Blackie” Howard, Sr. and Lena Elizabeth Valenti Howard on September 1, 1947 in San Angelo, TX where he would live his entire life. His younger sister, Kathy, was born in March of 1951. We enjoyed many stories about his childhood in the Belaire neighborhood. One of Roland’s favorite activities, while growing up, was spending time with his sister and cousins on the Noelke Ranch in Irion County. It was here that their Uncle Elton vowed to teach them “not to want to be a cowboy”.

Roland attended public school in San Angelo, graduating from Central High School in 1965. He enjoyed playing basketball for Edison Jr. High and football for Central. He was also a member of The National Honor Society. After graduating from Central, he attended Angelo State University where he earned his BS in Accounting and his MBA in Public Administration. He remained an ardent supporter of Central and ASU athletics throughout his life.

In 1965, Roland met the love of his life, Cherryl Melanie Taylor, in bookkeeping class. They were married August 18, 1967, in Western Hills Church of Christ. They welcomed their first son, Rick, in November of 1968 and their second son, Jamey, in August of 1971. Roland loved his family fiercely and weekends were devoted to spending time together. His love for sports and his boys led him to coach Gray-Y football and basketball, making him “Coach Howard” to their friends. He also coached soccer when it was new to San Angelo and the San Angelo Soccer Association was in its infancy. When his boys moved into school sponsored sports, he never missed a game.

When he wasn’t on the field coaching or watching a game from the sidelines, he was pulling the family’s Jayco, pop-up camper down the highway from one state park to another. He loved camping and spending time on any river or lake. One of his greatest joys was when he finally found a permanent spot to park the camper. He purchased 2 acres on the Concho River affectionately known as “The Ponderosa”. Roland spent as much time as he could on his little place fishing, running trot lines, and just being outside away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Roland and Cherryl epitomized true love. They were married for 58 years, on their way to 59. It wasn’t always pretty or easy, but it was always “each other”. Together, they demonstrated that good times can follow the bad and that there is great reward in never giving up.

He began his career path by working for the accounting firm of Cherry, Eckert & Story, today known as Eckert & Co. At the age of 24, he was offered the position of Finance Director for San Angelo Independent School District. He held this position until he was offered the same role for Region XV Education Service Center. He stayed with Region XV for a short period of time until he was hired by the City of San Angelo as Finance Director. He held this position until his retirement in 1995.

Roland was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ, with most of these years in the Johnson Street congregation. He was a faithful attender when his health would allow and joined online when it wouldn’t. He was sure to take Communion each Sunday regardless of the venue.

He was a member of the San Angelo Kiwanis Club for over 55 years. He served in many capacities within the club, including President. He also served on the Board of Directors for San Angelo Adult Day Care.

Roland was preceded in death by his father, mother, and sister. He is survived by his wife, Cherryl and his sons, Rick (Laura) and Jamey. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Reese (Jackie), Kelsey, Hilton, and Hadlee. He was blessed to also have three great grandchildren in Madi, Ethan, and Rowan.

In lieu of flowers, charitable contributions may be made to West Texas Rehab, Meals for the Elderly, or a charity of your choice. Our family would like to thank the nurses and aides of Hospice of San Angelo and all the friends and family that have demonstrated their love and support through this difficult time. There will be a family visitation on Wednesday, May 27th from 5:00p.m. to 7:00p.m. at Harper Funeral Home. Roland’s funeral service will be Thursday, May 28th at 2:00p.m., also at Harper Funeral Home, with graveside to follow in Johnson’s Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens. Elders from Johnson Street Church of Christ will serve as Pallbearers. Honorary Pallbearers will be Tad Emert, Calvin Featherston, Ronnie Poff, Andy Allen, Don Cox, Scott Houston, Robert Smith, and Phil Bernstein.

Norma was an only child who was deeply loved by her parents. Norma grew up in Waco and West Texas. Norma graduated from West high school. After high school Norma married Lloyd J.

Johnny Pat Watkins

Johnny Pat Watkins, 75, was born May 11, 1951, in San Angelo, Texas, and passed away May 14, 2026. He resided in Big Lake, Texas. A man widely beloved for his steady honesty, genuine spirit, and compassionate generosity, Johnny’s life was marked by devotion—to his family, his community, and his faith.

Born and raised on a ranch outside of Big Lake, TX, Johnny was the son of Patsy and James Lawson Watkins. He grew up alongside his older brother, William Lawson Watkins, learning early the value of hard work and the plainspoken strength that would remain with him throughout his life.

JP joined the United States Navy and served from 1969 to 1973. In retirement, he returned to the work he knew best—working on the ranch, building his family, and taking trips he enjoyed deeply, especially to Las Vegas. Whether at home or away, he carried with him a grounded presence and a quiet confidence that made others feel welcome and at ease.

In July 1975, Johnny married Virginia Lucille Pennington. Together they raised their son, Cody John Watkins, and their daughter, Lori Viola Watkins. Family meant the world to him, and anyone who came by to visit could see it immediately—his day was brighter for the simple gift of company, and his care for others was expressed in practical, generous ways.

JP loved to travel with family and delighted in the time spent together. He was exceptional at playing pool and Monopoly, and he was known for being extremely lucky—an attribute he wore with a humble grin rather than pride. If he wasn’t outside dealing with his cattle, he was loading up the truck to go fishing, always ready to trade the day’s worries for open water and good conversation.

Throughout his life, Johnny harbored a great love for Christ and worked to instill that love into his family. His faith showed itself not only in words, but in the way he lived—steadfast, giving, and sincere. If any child asked him, he would support their education no matter what, reflecting a generosity that sought to lift others and a belief that opportunity should be met with encouragement.

A cowboy through and through, JP was known for teaching his family the right ways to ranch and to “rub some dirt in it” when they got hurt—an expression of resilience delivered with care. He often reminded those around him to “slow down, you’ve got all the time in the world,” and met life with the calm acceptance of “it is what is.” His outlook was practical, his humor plain, and his love unmistakable. He believed, “why hoard when you can give to your family,” and lived that conviction with open hands and an open heart. Even in discomfort, he could shrug and say, “I’ve had worse scratches in my eyeball,” and when the moment called for it, his invitation was simple and sincere: “let’s go fishing.”

Left to cherish Johnny's memory are his son, Cody Watkins and wife Coral; grandchildren, Cheyenne Marie Watkins, Caitlynn Mackenzie Watkins, and Colton James Watkins; daughter, Lori Viola Watkins; and nieces, Kelly Moore and Tobi Davis.

Johnny’s family extends heartfelt gratitude to the Belcher Family of Reagan County, the DeSalme Family, and anyone who came by to give love and support.

Visitation will be held from 10 AM - 1PM with funeral services to begin at 1PM on Thursday May 21, 2026 at First Baptist Church in Big Lake, TX. Interment will follow at Stiles Cemetery.

Serving as pallbearers are Chad Armstrong, DA Tinney, Matt DeSalme, Steven Turner, Robert Knight, and Casey Bynum. Serving as honorary pallbearers are Rusty Adams, Tooter Jameson, Shawn Adams, and David Matt Armstrong.

Flowers can be sent to First Baptist Church, 510 E 7th St, Big Lake, TX 76932 or Johnson's Funeral Home, 435 W Beauregard Ave, San Angelo, TX 76903.

Arletta M. Hendrix

Arletta M. Hendrix, 94, of San Angelo, Texas passed away May 11, 2026, at home surrounded by her family. She was born on April 2, 1932 in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota. A beloved and cherished presence to those who knew her, Arletta will be remembered with deep respect for a life marked by steadfast faith, devoted love, and resilient strength.

Arletta was, in every sense, “cut from a different cloth”—a unique woman whose quiet determination and hard-working spirit carried her through each season of life. A faithful Catholic with a special devotion to Mother Mary, she was a long-time member of Holy Angels Catholic Church, where her enduring commitment and reverence were evident to all who worshipped alongside her.

On December 8, 1949, Arletta married Odie L. Hendrix in Lawton, Oklahoma. Their marriage was a devoted partnership that remained strong until his passing in 2013 - days after their 64th wedding anniversary. As an army wife and young mother, Arletta worked tirelessly to support her family—babysitting neighborhood children and selling Avon with the same steady resolve she brought to everything she did. Later, she began a career at Levi Straus, where she retired after 17 years as a machine operator, earning admiration through her reliability, perseverance, and pride in honest work.

Arletta’s love for family was a pillar of her life, and her care was expressed in the everyday moments that become lifelong memories. She delighted in jigsaw puzzles—always with the firm expectation that not a single piece would go missing. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and teaching her daughters and grandchildren how to crochet, passing along both skill and patience stitch by stitch. She loved playing card games and was an avid reader who read every night to her daughters and later to her grandchildren, offering comfort, closeness, and the gift of time.

In the community, Arletta was a familiar and warmly recognized figure—regularly seen at Zentner's Daughter Steakhouse, Dunbar, Franco's, and later Golden Corral, often remembered for her signature braided pigtails. Even today, people still ask about her, a testament to the impression she left through simple kindness, faithful presence, and a spirit that could not be forgotten. When it was time to part, she had her own cherished way of saying goodbye—blowing kisses, sending love ahead of her even as she left the room.

Arletta’s legacy is carried forward in the lives she shaped—through faith, devotion, and the enduring example of a woman who loved deeply, worked hard, and remained steadfast. Her memory will be held close by her family, and by all who were fortunate to know her.

Arletta was preceded in death by her father, Frank J. Thomas; mother, Mary W. Thomas; husband, Odie; daughter, Mary A. Goff; and son in law, Donald R. Goff.

Arletta is survived by her daughter, Linda Frankum and husband, Paul; grandchild, Christy Grelle and husband Brent; great grandchildren, Samantha Grelle and Jacob Grelle; grandchild, Steven Lane Goff; grandchild, Kathy Muldrew and husband Jason; great grandchild, Benjamin Goff and wife Maggie Goff; grandchild, Beth Frankum; great grandchild, Mel Kennedy and partner Ivonne Muñoz; great grandchild, James Kennedy and partner Dhalia Butchee; and grandchild, Robert Frankum. Arletta also leaves behind her nephew, Michel Benton and wife Soosan; and her nephew, Bill Benton and his family.

The Hendrix family would like to thank Arletta's church family at Holy Angels and long-time friend Fr. Charles Greenwell for their continued prayers, words of encouragement and support; as well as Preferred Home Health and High Plains Hospice for the compassion and care they gave Arletta throughout her health journey.

A memorial mass will be held at Holy Angels Catholic Church on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at 10:30 AM.

In lieu of flowers, the Hendrix family asks that a memorial donation in Arletta's name be made to a charity of your choice.
