Eula Fay Watson of Jacksboro, Texas was born on May 19, 1918 to Oscar A. and Minnie Symintha (Jackson) Whitsitt at Squaw Mountain, Texas. She married Melvin E. Watson on May 19, 1936 in Joy. They celebrated 62 years of marriage before his death in 1998. Eula Fay passed away on Thursday, June 30, 2016 in Ft. Worth at 98 years and 49 days. Her main goal in life was to stay active.

Eula Fay was an active member of First Baptist Church, The Red Hat Society, The Jacksboro Gardening Club, and The Jacksboro Country Club where she had been an avid golfer for years. She finally gave up golf because she said, “I’ve outlived most of my playing partners”.

She was the first female court bailiff in Jack County. At one time she owned and operated a children’s clothing store in Bowie after her first granddaughter was born, but found it too confining. Following that venture, she raised quail, truck farmed and worked at Haggar Slacks. Her final business venture was trapping and selling live raccoons. This ended abruptly when one of the raccoons managed to get out of the cage and tap her on the shoulder while she was driving them to the sale. She was the mother to three boys, hated to cook, but was always ready to fish and tramp around the ranch.

Many family and friends believed she was a “card shark” when it came to playing SkipBo.  She won at Bingo so many times Concerned Citizens ran out of prizes. She was an uninhibited 42 and 84 player. She was strong willed, hard headed and smart as a whip. She was independent, interested in everything and a feisty pioneer woman. She loved John Deere lawn mowers, but disliked horses.

Eula Fay was a cancer survivor, having beaten it twice.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Melvin E. Watson, a son, Larry James Watson, two brothers and seven sisters.

She leaves behind two sons: Ronald E. Watson and wife Shirley; Donald D. Watson and wife Susan; daughter-in-law, Sharon Watson; sister, Margaret McMahon; grandchildren: Pamela, Cherami, Steven, Damon, Jennifer, Forrest and Laura; great grandchildren: Calista, Trenton, Winston, Amanda, Matthew, Jordan and Ethan plus many nieces, nephews and friends.

Bobby Gene Cannon – Bob or Mr. Cannon, 82, of Graham formerly of Perrin, Texas was picked up by Jesus on Tuesday, July 19, 2016. 

Mr. Cannon was born on December 17, 1933 in Collinsville Texas to the late Ethel and Fred Cannon. He married Jeanette Adams of Madison, Nebraska on June 1, 1957 at the Miller Memorial Baptist Church in Collinsville, Texas. Mr. Cannon held bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education from the University of North Texas and served the Perrin-Whitt Independent School District as its superintendent from 1966 – 1991. Mr. Cannon was also a real estate agent and he thoroughly enjoyed farming and ranching in Perrin. 

As superintendent of schools, Mr. Cannon had the opportunity to see many educational milestones including the establishment of a free and appropriate education for all students, gifted and talented programs, state standardized testing for student achievement, certification changes for teachers, along with many others. The most important event to Mr. Cannon as superintendent was celebrating the success of the Perrin students in the classroom, in academic extra curricular endeavors, and in sporting events. He simply enjoyed being a part of the lives of the people in the Perrin Community. 

Mr. Cannon was a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Perrin. He served on the building committee and was instrumental in the building of the new Baptist church located east of Perrin. He gave faithfully to missions, taught Sunday school and his well-read and worn Bibles are treasures for his family. 

Most of all Mr. Cannon loved his family. He was the 8th of 10 children and he had four brothers and five sisters. Mr. Cannon was born with health complications and by 18 years of age he had 21 surgeries and his remarkable journey is documented in medical journals. In 1972 he had the final surgery to repair those birth complications and the doctors predicted he would live for about 15 years.

In 1964 on his birthday, Bob and Jean picked up Cheryl Danice from Hope Cottage in Dallas and then in 1969 in early November the three of them brought home Christopher Derek from the Edna Gladney Home. Cheryl and Chris were the true treasures for Mr. Cannon. Their prominence was only compromised by the births of his three grandsons – Lance Cannon Groves, William Corey Groves, and Casey Bailey Cannon.

Mr. Cannon was preceded in death by his parents, brothers JD, Harding, Billy Joe, and Carroll and sisters Nanny Bell, Mary, Alice, and Joyce. 

Mr. Cannon also had the wonderful opportunity to know his great grandchildren – Kain Simental and Kambrey Groves.

Margaret Nell Bean, 72, an “angel unaware” went to be with our Lord Sunday, July 17, 2016 in Bridgeport.

Margaret was born on June 29, 1944 to John Roy and Jennie (Brock) Bean at the “old” Bridgeport Hospital and transferred to the “All Saints” Hospital in Fort Worth. After months of care, her family brought her back home in Bridgeport where she lived the rest of her life. 

Margaret attended Bridgeport schools and became a Christian and baptized at the First Baptist Church where she and her family were faithful members. After the loss of her mother, her father and Margaret moved to Park Haven Care Center. A bus from First Baptist Church brought them to Sunday school and church and they enjoyed the trip to McDonalds for lunch after the service. Margaret loved her Sunday school teachers. The first was “MeMe” Meek and then Methel’s daughter, Norma Funk was her last teacher. Margaret loved the programs of Senior Care Center; especially the gospel and country songs. She liked to sing with them; especially “You Are My Sunshine”. She truly was “Sunshine” to all who knew her.

Margaret loved her family, her roommates, and all the caregivers at Senior Care Center, especially Michelle who was so kind and loving to her. When Solaris Hospice was called in, Margaret had excellent care and her family is so appreciative to them for keeping her from pain.

Margaret had her sweet smile to the end and I am sure our Lord sent a “special” angel to take her to heaven to be with her grandparents, Eula and Otis Bean; her parents, Roy and Jennie Bean; her sister, Mary Lee (Bean) Burdine; all of her aunts and uncles; her brother-in-laws, John Boldin, Leonard Brown, and Nolan Williams.

Those left behind to cherish her memory are her half-sisters, Eula Sue Boldin of Grand Prairie and Betty Williams of Watercrest at Mansfield; her niece, Sherry Mitchell; her nephew, Timmy Burdine; other cousins and many friends. They look forward to seeing her again.
