The Corsicana Daily Sun – Friday, February 21, 1930
A GOOD WOMAN GONE TO HER REWARD.
Mrs. T. A. Aston departed this life
on the 15th day of February, 1930,
at the ripe old age of 70 years and
24 days.
Mary Jane Gilley was born in
Bosque county, Texas, on the 22nd
day of January. 1860.
She professed religion and united
with the Methodist church at
the age of 14 years and ever after
lived a devoted Christian life until
her Maker called her to her reward,
always being an humble and consecrated
follower of the Saviour whom she professed—a living, walking example of the mother in Israel
that she was.
She was married to T. A. Aston
on December 25th, 1877 near the
town of Kerens, Navarro county,
Texas.
To this union were, born nine
children, four of whom are still
living, Mrs. Letha Britton of Corsicana,
Texas, Rice K. Aston of Chatfield,
Texas, Mrs. Albert Ashton of
Waxahachie, Texas with whom she
spent her last days, and Mrs. Floyd
Herrin of Italy, Texas.
Mrs. Aston was confined to her
bed for several months before her
passing on, and during this time
her suffering was intense, but
through it all she was watched
over and ministered to by the loving
hands of her devoted children.
Through this trying ordeal they did
everything within human power to
comfort and soothe the declining
body, prompted by the love they
had for that one whose love and
anxiety for her own, knew no
bounds. And that soul mate who
had walked down the pathway of
life, side by side, hand in hand with
her for more than fifty years, was
ever at her side, showing in every
word and act that the love of his young manhood had grown in intensity until she was his only
thought and her presence was his
greatest consolation.
She was conscious to the last and
at all times declared her preparedness
to meet her Savior on the
shore of sweet deliverance where
peace is eternal and suffering is unknown.
The body was accompanied to
Frost, Texas, where it was tenderly
laid to rest in the presence of a
host of neighbors among whom she
had lived for 46 years. The floral
tribute was very beautiful, showing
the love and respect they had
for their departed neighbor, whose
memory they will ever cherish.
A FRIEND.

Barbara
Grace McNally
Apr 15, 1926 - Sept 15, 2011
 The
glowing light of our family, Barbara Grace McNally, was
extinguished Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011. She died at home
surrounded by her loving family, leaving an unfillable
void in our hearts, but boundless legacy of love — good
works, warm friendships, and an extensive family raised
by her loving hands.
Barbara was a vivacious redhead who first met her
handsome husband Joe at age 17 in Rhode Island. Through
their 64 years of marriage, they traveled extensively,
starting their journey in Rhode Island. Soon after the
birth of their first three children, they moved from
Rhode Island to Texas as part of the Air Force, then
traveling to Tachikawa, Japan and back to Texas, moving
to Corsicana in 1963.
She embraced her chosen profession of homemaker, mother
and wife with an unparalleled grace and ease,
encouraging each of her eight children to rise to their
full potential. Nothing in life gave her more joy than
the news of a new baby on the way, and when that baby
arrived, she would always be seen holding that new life
and quietly crooning her favorite phrase to them, “God
is Love, and Jesus is His name.”
Among our fondest memories of Barbara are remembering
her at the beach, surrounded by her family, basking in
the sun and bouncing in the waves. She was a marvelous
cook, an impeccable housekeeper, and a wonderful
hostess. She had a flair for fashion and decorating, and
found great pleasure in transforming her 1912 country
ranch home into an oasis of beauty and comfort. She
named her home Sweetbriar, after a wild English rose.
Although she was very busy with her eight children, she
also made time to serve both Immaculate Conception
Catholic Church and the community of Corsicana. She
served as a room mother and PTC president at James L.
Collins Catholic School. She was a Den Mother for the
cub scouts, a volunteer in the newborn nursery at the
hospital, and enjoyed many volunteer hours working for
Our Lady's Altar Society, the Navarro County Medical
Society Auxiliary and the Food for Fitness Programs.
Those of us left mourning her loss include her husband
Dr. Joseph McNally Sr.; children Dr. Joseph McNally Jr.
and wife Sandra, Maureen Barto and husband Bernard, Dr.
Rosemary McCoy and husband Dr. Medford McCoy, Jayne
McNally, Elizabeth Scirto and husband, Mark, Mark
McNally and wife Nancy, John McNally and wife Marlene,
and Robin Colvin and husband Joseph.
Her grandchildren include Michelle McNally Bertelsen and
husband Mattias, Erin McNally Ashmore and husband Grant,
Jason Barto and wife Kristy, Brendan Barto and spouse
Corrie, Shayne Aytes and wife Susan, Dr. Liam McCoy Fry
and husband Chad, Joe McCoy, Dr. Kate McCoy Massey and

Mooney and husband Josiah, Mark Scirto Jr. and wife
Leah, Anthony Scirto and wife Lindsey, Hannah Scirto,
Sean McNally, Kevin McNally, Michael McNally, Matthew
McNally, Timothy McNally, Kaitlyn McNally, Joseph
McNally, Joseph Colvin and wife Mary, Patrick Colvin and

Caleb, Maria, Lilly, Hunter, Julia and baby Joey.
Extended family includes cousins in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island.
The Rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23,

and Father Eli Monondo at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 24,

be her grandsons.

approximately 45 years. She enjoyed reading and learning
about antique furniture; however, her real interest and
speciality was glassware. More than anything, she loved
her family and friends beyond words. She has so much
enjoyment in seeing and talking to the many people who
came to the antique shop and her fellow "antiquers." The
shop was kept in the family when purchased by Donna and
son-in-law Jon Ed Ingham when Maxine retired.
Maxine was preceded in death by her parents, R.P. Bates
and Nannie Trammell Bates and her dearly loved husband,
Dick Everett.
She is survived by daughters, Donna and son-in-law, Jon
Ed Ingham and Sandra Lewis; grandchildren Aimee Kasprzyk
and husband David, Jon Ingham and wife Candice, Lee
Lewis and wife Ellen. Maxine has six
great-grandchildren, Sarah Kasprzyk, Anna Kasprzyk,
Carter Wells, Issac Ingham, Luke Lewis and Reid Lewis.
She is also survived by nieces Judy Binion, and Janice
Sayers and nephew Gary Kutilek and their families.
Maxine was a member of First United Methodist Church
since 1952. She loved people, and people loved her. The
last few years of her life were spent as a resident of
Heritage Oaks Retirement Village. The family wishes to
express sincere and heartfelt appreciation to all of her
caretakers and employees of HORV for the healthcare and
genuine concern shown to Maxine. Also many thanks go to
Hand In Hand Hospice for their wonderful care and love
given to our mother.
