Mr.
Othor Lang (Jack) Anderson, 91, passed away peacefully
on November 25, 2011, at Covenant Medical Center in
Lubbock, TX. He was surrounded by his loving family.
Jack Anderson was born in Frost, TX on June 14, 1920 to
Lang Lawrence Anderson and Jane Elizabeth Johnson
Anderson. The family moved to Shallowater, Texas when he
was three and he graduated from High School in 1938. He
had two younger brothers, JR and Rex Anderson, who
happily participated in the "fun" of living on a small
rural farm. One of his favorite memories was when the
three boys thought they would help their parents, who
had gone to Lubbock for the day, by removing the thicket
of tumbleweeds from the barbwire fence around their
property. Wanting to be efficient and fast, they lit the
weeds on fire and proceeded to start a grass fire. He
recalled that half the town came with burlap sacks to
help put it out.
After graduating high school, Jack attended Texas
Technological College for two years before entering the
Navy. He married Wilma June Burnison on October 22, 1942
and finished his Navy service in San Diego, California.
He then returned to Texas Tech, and completed a Bachelor
of Science in Psychology and a Masters in Mathematics .
The public school system of Perryton, TX hired both Jack
and June to teach in the high school, and Jack was later
promoted to principal.
In 1951, Jack moved his family to Clovis, New Mexico
after purchasing Duffy's Camera Shop from Duffy Sasser.
He owned and operated the business for 35 years,
enjoying the opportunity to meet and serve people with
knowledge and professionalism. His motto was, "The
customer is always right." For many years his daily
routine included sharing coffee and laughter with
friends at the Silver Grill. Jack sold the camera store
in 1986 to devote himself to caring for June, who had
been left weak from a prolonged illness. Considering it
a privilege, he faithfully and lovingly cared for her
until her death in March, 1990. They were married 48
years.
The Senior ministry at 16th and Pile Church of Christ
needed a leader and Jack accepted the call. He arranged
social functions and field trips to Palo Duro Canyon,
the Caprock Amphitheater, and the San Antonio River
Walk. He also organized the picture-taking process for
the church directory. It was through these activities
that he again fell in love, and he married Louise Simms
on December 27, 1991. He took great pleasure in
traveling with Louise, attending church, visiting
family, and working in the yard. He was a kind and
loving companion for 20 years. For many years, Jack and
Louise read the Bible aloud to each other. He loved the
Lord greatly.
Jack is survived by his wife, Louise, daughter Linda
Watkins of Dallas, TX, daughter Judy Wilson and husband
Mike of Matthews, NC, step-daughter Mary Ann Cable and
husband Ken of Clovis, step-son J Pike Simms and wife,
Erlene of Roseburg, Oregon, and six grandchildren,
Benjamin Watkins, Michael Wilson, Llala Wilson, Mitchell
Simms, Barrett Cable, and Kara Copeland, and four
great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his first
wife, Wilma June Burnison Anderson, brothers JR and Rex
Anderson and by daughter Debra Anderson.
Services for Mr. Anderson will be held on Wednesday,
November 30, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. at 16th & Pile Church of
Christ with Allen McKinney, officiating. Burial will
follow at Lawn Haven Memorial Gardens.
Memorial Contributions may be made to a charity of your
choice in his honor.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of
Steed-Todd Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 800 E.

Sherri
Lee Lane, 42, passed away at 5:35 p.m. Nov. 20, 2010, at All
Saints Baylor Medical Center in Fort Worth.
Sherri was born in Corsicana on Jan. 25, 1968, to Theo and
Peggy McCluney. She was a graduate of Corsicana High School,
Class of
1986. She and her husband, Don Lane, were married 23
years with two wonderful children, Alysa and Garrett Lane,
whom she cherished. She was baptized on Nov. 22, 1992, as
one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Although she lost her battle
with breast cancer, she never lost hope that she would live
forever in paradise on earth that Jehovah has promised
through his reigning king Jesus Christ, where there would be
no more sickness, sorrow or pain. Sherri was a person that
everybody loved to be around. She was fun, exciting and
brightened up every room she walked into. Although she died
at a young age she lived life to the fullest. Her famous
quote was, “you never know how strong you are until being
strong is the only choice you have.” Everyone that knew her
will miss her deeply by the way she touched their life.
She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Theo and
Peggy McCluney of Corsicana; sister-in-law, Leslie McCluney
also of Corsicana; and by her father-in-law, Jim Lane from
Wortham.
Survivors include her husband, Don Lane, a local business

Lucy Hood (French) Hubbard
May 31, 1913 - Dec 2, 2011
After 98 years in this life, Lucy Hood Hubbard went to join loved ones and her Heavenly Father on Friday, Dec. 2, 2011. For many
years, she resided at Oakview Healthcare Residence in Hubbard. Born May 31, 1913 in Alliance Hall in Navarro County to Dezzie Cagle and
Gardner French, Hood was part of a large family: brothers, Radney, Verse, Kinsey, Rankin, and Cecil; sisters, Izora (Putman), Ollie
(Jordan) and Florence (French). Four other siblings, Villa, Joe Bailey, Girley Draper, and Sara Ann died as infants before Hood was
born.
Hood (or Mama Hood as many affectionately called her) married Leo Thomas in Hubbard on Sept. 8, 1928. They had one child, B.D. (Billy
Dwayne) Hubbard, born in 1930. Leo and Hood lived in Silver City on their farm where they raised cattle and cotton. When Hood was just
39, she became a widow when Leo, age 41, was killed in an accident in Jasper, Texas. She never remarried.
For a time with her son's help, Hood worked the farm. Finally, she was persuaded to build a home in Dawson where she resided for many
years, with Leo's mother, Ida Mae (Mimi). Hood worked for many years as a cook at the Corsicana State Home, employment she enjoyed
because of the children she served and the friends with whom she had the pleasure of working.
A member of the Dawson First Baptist Church, she was always strong in her religious faith which sustained her. Despite the trials of
her life, she was never bitter. Genuine smiles and hearty laughter were her ready companions.
Hood is survived by her only son, B. D. Hubbard and his only daughter, Brenda Guillory and her husband, Micah, all of Dawson;
nieces, Joyce Dean Melton of Corsicana, Helen Steel of Amarillo, Janice Richards of Midland, Juanita Quaid of Austin, and Dorothy

Jerry's school years began in Corsicana. He was double promoted and skipped the seventh grade. He later moved to
Richland (aka Pisgah Ridge) where he graduated from Richland High School in 1957 in a class of eight students. He proudly
wore his Richland Indians High School ring until the end. He played basketball and baseball being their only pitcher. He
loved living with his Grandma and Granddaddy and told us wonderful stories we will never forget. He loved fishing
with his Granddaddy and hunting for arrowheads along the Richland Creek bottom lands. As a young teenager he chopped
and picked cotton. He bought his first car by helping his Granddaddy clean out the bottom land.
In 1958 he married the love of his life, Lillie Faye. They lived in Corsicana and finally settled in Houston in 1972.
Jerry worked as a manager in the food service industry for many years. He then worked for Symons Mfg. Corp. as a
foreman in receiving where he retired after 20 years of service in 2002.
Jerry loved freshwater fishing, but he found his true love of the water in Galveston. He bought a boat and named it
'Olatunji' after a Bob Dylan song 'I Shall Be Free.' He enjoyed many fishing trips on that boat with his brothers
Lionel and Eddie as well as his family and friends. He was known by all as 'Captain.' He also loved the Houston Astros
and his beloved Texas Aggies. He loved music and he always said 'The Beatles were the best Rock n’ Roll band there ever
was,' John Lennon being his favorite. His favorite artist was Bob Dylan. He truly believed there would never be anyone
ever quite like Bob.
He was very patriotic and loved God, his family, friends and country more than anything in the world. He was especially
proud of his grandson Army PFC Shane Zahn, who is deployed in Afghanistan.
We love him dearly and will miss him more than words can ever say and take comfort in knowing he is with God and our loved ones in heaven.
"A coward dies a thousand deaths, the Valiant die but once."
