Karen Suzanne (Miller) Kindle-Miller
Oct 29, 1952 - Dec 23, 2018
Karen
Suzanne Miller was born in Corsicana on Oct. 29, 1952 to
Darwin and Wanda Miller. She fell asleep in death Sunday,
Dec. 23, 2018.
Suzanne was deaf from birth but that did not hinder her from
leading a full life. She attended and graduated from the
Texas School for the Deaf in Austin. After coming back to
Corsicana, she married and raised her son Chad.
She enjoyed sewing and spent several years as a drapery
seamstress. In more recent years she spent a good deal of
her time caring for her parents. She was part of a very
close family and we will miss her.
An important part of Suzanne's life was her faith in her
heavenly Father, Jehovah. She was baptized as one of
Jehovah's Witnesses in the early 70's and firmly believed in
the resurrection hope and the wonderful promise of Isaiah
35: 5 and 6: "The ears of the deaf will be unstopped...and
the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy." Our family
looks forward to seeing her again and hearing her voice for
the first time and the expression on her face as she hears
ours.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Wanda Miller and
her nephew Shae Rogers.
She is survived by her son, Chad Kindle and his girlfriend
Adriane Ivison; her grandchildren Victoria, Rebecca and
Preston; her father Darwin Miller; her sister Stacy Rogers
and husband Mike and their son Justin Rogers and his wife
Zonia and their children; her brother Scott Miller and his
wife Lisa and their daughter Kristin Valdez and husband
Matthew and their children; her uncle Mike Brashear and wife
Beverly and their children as well as several cousins.
Graveside services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 27,
2018 at
Providence Cemetery in Mildred. Tim McCaa will be
officiating and there will be an ASL interpreter for the
benefit of her close friends.
"We want to thank the nurses and doctors for her recent
health care as well as the paramedics that were there for
her. We greatly appreciate the many expressions of sympathy
by both family and friends."

Carl
Wayne Morris
Apr 18, 1934 - Dec 15, 2018
Carl
Wayne Morris, 84, left his earthly life for his eternal life
in Heaven Saturday, Dec. 15. He was the only child born to
William Grady Morris and Callie Faye (Fletcher) Morris on
April 18, 1934 in Corsicana. He graduated from
Corsicana
High School in 1951. He began work as an apprentice with
Frank Childress at Childress Electric and became a licensed
electrician.
In 1952, he met Joyce Allred, informing her on their first
date that they would marry! In 1954, that prediction came
true! They then left Corsicana for employment with Southern
Pacific Railroad.
Returning to Corsicana in 1956, he started his own
electrical business, Morris Electric. He later became a
developer and home builder who was personally responsible
for many well known subdivisions. His love for animals was
obvious. He watched birds, foxes, turkeys and bobcats from
what he considered "the best nursing home," his second story
bay window of his house. The view of his pond was
picturesque and his dearest friend Bill Barnes would often
visit bringing with him legendary stories.
Carl is survived by his wife of 64 years Joyce Morris;
daughters Cindy Erwin and husband Joe, Becky Hollingsworth
and husband Jack, Susan Miller and husband Vic, Shannon
Lagomarsino and husband James; grandchildren Lara Morelock,
Kimmy Gorden, Amber Finn, Josh Hollingsworth, Caleb
Hollingsworth, Aaron Erwin, Adam Erwin, Carlee Miller, Logan
Norch, Aidan Lagomarsino, Reagan Lagomarsino, Olivia
Lagomarsino, Preston Lagomarsino and 13 great grandchildren.
He is also survived by numerous cousins including JoAnn
Cravens who he considered more like a sister.
The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Kent
Rogers for years of care and kindness as well as New Century
Hospice for the love and support given in his final days. He
adored Ashley, Brenda, Sandy, Cindy and Chaplin Steven.
Caretakers Marilyn Wright and Janice Russ kept a smile on
his face with their countless stories even though Carl
insisted that his were better. Their love and attention was
endless. Thank you all!
A Celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Dec.
18, 2018 in Oakwood
Cemetery with John Barber officiating. Grandsons will

UPDATE: Corsicana police release
identities in double murder-suicide
Woman saves children before being killed
� From Staff Reports
� Dec 22, 2018 Updated Dec 22, 2018
�
Rosalio Mendoza, 36, is suspected of
shooting and killing his wife, Vanesa
Mendoza, 27, and her sister Nancy
Castillo, 28, before killing himself
around 9:45 p.m. Friday in the 2100
block of Navarro Drive.
According to Chief of Police Robert
Johnson, Castillo called 911 and said
her sister was arguing with her
estranged husband who had a gun.
911 operators dispatched officers and
CPD Telecommunicator Emily Ballard told
Castillo to seek a safe place or hide
with the three children in the home.
Castillo then reported a gunshot, which
was also heard by Ballard.
Castillo was able to get three children,
ages 7, 3 and 1 through a window to
safety.
Officers arrived to find Castillo lying
in the front yard with gunshot wounds.
Due to short time frame of the reported
gunshot and officer arrival, Cpl.
Kenneth Dunagan kicked in the front door
to engage the suspect with Officer
Michael Worthy.
As the officers searched the residence,
they discovered the suspected gunman
dead from a self-inflicted gunshot
wound.
Officer Heath Hayes attempted CPR on
Castillo until he was relieved by
Corsicana Fire Rescue Paramedics. She
was later pronounced dead.
As officers continued to search the
residence, they found the wife dead just
outside of the back-patio door from a
gunshot wound.
Further investigation revealed that the
gunman had made forced entry through the
back door where his estranged wife's
body was discovered and made his way to
the bedroom where the female 911 caller
was shot and killed as she exited the
bedroom window.
The gunman's body was located in the
same bedroom area.
"From the time the 911 call was
received, until the time officers
arrived on scene and made entry was less
than three minutes," Johnson said.
This case is still under investigation
and no further information will be
released until a later date.

� Dec 23, 2018
The
Corsicana Police Department released the names of the
victims and shooter of the double murder-suicide who died
three days before Christmas in the 2100 block of Navarro Dr.
Police said they received a call that a woman, 27-year-old
Vanesa Mendoza, was arguing with her estranged husband,
36-year-old Rosalio Mendoza, outside the home and he had a
gun. They were also told three children were inside the
residence.
The caller, 28-year-old Nancy Castillo, told police that she
was the sister of the woman. Castillo told the dispatcher
she heard a gunshot.
Multiple officers were dispatched to the scene, and the
dispatcher told Castillo to hide. The dispatcher also
instructed her to remove the children, ages 7, 3 and 1, from
the house by sneaking them out the window.
All three children are safe and are with other family
members.
"It's saddening because I knew them," said Joe Brown, a
neighbor. "And at the same time, it makes you very
uncomfortable because you never know what is going on around
you."
Joe Brown lives two doors down from the scene he did not
hear the gunshots but walked outside when he saw the number
of police cars lined in the street.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found a woman lying
in the front yard with gunshot wounds. Officers and
paramedics tried to revive the woman. This effort proved
unsuccessful, and she was pronounced dead.
After investigating, police discovered that the woman in the
yard was Castillo who called to report the incident.
Officers searched the home for the suspect, and they found
Rosalio from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. As they
continued to search the house, officers found Vanesa dead on
the back patio.
After further investigation, it revealed that Rosalio made
forced entry through the back door where Vanesa's body was
found. Rosalio then made his way to the bedroom where
Castillo was shot and killed as she exited the bedroom
window.
Rosalio's body was found in the same bedroom area.
From the time the 911 call was received until the time
officers arrived on scene and made entry, was less than
three minutes.
"What I think you're going to find is that the entire
community is hurting," Corsicana Chief of Police Robert
Johnson said.
"They were friendly, talking and the kids play up and down
the block, a friendly atmosphere," Brown said.
According to public records, Mendoza has had a run-in with
the law in the past.
Most of his offenses were between 2000 and 2006. One being a
third-degree felony as he assaulted a public servant. The
most recent report stated the last time Rosalio had a run-in
with the law was in 2012, he was held in contempt at court.
Police are still investigating. |

Josephine
(Upchurch) Campbell
April 29, 1922 � June 25, 2018
Josephine Upchurch Campbell died at her assisted living
facility in Dallas on June 25, 2018, at the age of 96 years,
after a long fight with Alzheimer's.
She was born in Corsicana, Texas, to Mattie and C.E.
Upchurch, but moved to Tyler, Texas, at an early age, where
she lived until her marriage.
She was preceded in death by her son, Brad, at age 11,
daughter, Claudia, at age 51, husband, Donovan Campbell,
Sr., in 2017, as well as brothers Claude E. Upchurch and
James O. Upchurch.
She is survived by son Donovan Campbell, Jr. and his wife,
Polly, their five sons, Donovan III and wife Christy, Caleb
and wife Alyssa, Joshua and wife Richelle, Jordan and wife
Kathryn, and Chase, the 15 great-grandchildren, and her fine
nieces and nephews, Martha, Molly, Alan, and Ann (and their
families).
Josephine graduated from the University of Texas in Austin,
Phi Beta Kappa in English, pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma there
and participated in the Tyler Rose Festival as a young lady.
After moving to Dallas in 1960 with her young family, as a
devout Christian and accomplished student of the Bible, she
became an active member of Highland Park Presbyterian
Church, where she taught Sunday School for years and
pioneered (with co-teacher Lois Crossland) the Bible Credit
Course offered through Highland Park High School. Josephine
served as a spiritual mentor to many young women in Dallas
through these courses and numerous other Bible studies that
she led for years. She enjoyed international travel in
England and Europe with her husband and family friends.
In her later years, complications from hip surgery and her
progressing Alzheimer's kept her bedridden, but she received
excellent treatment from her attendants at Presbyterian
Village North and Tophill Personal Care. Also in her
declining years, she unfortunately encountered difficult
family challenges, but she soldiered on.
Josephine's grandchildren warmly remember their many Sunday
lunches�where they were treated to her exceptional and
delicious cooking�and birthday shopping trips with �Gigi".
She was a fighter until the end. The family extends special
thanks to her legal Guardian and Trustee, Christian F.
Clausen, who faithfully served and protected her and the
entire family for many years, and to Mark Whitman of Tophill
Personal Care (and his staff), who attended to Josephine
with excellence at his facility in her final years.
The Memorial Service will be held Friday, June 29, 2018, at
2:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Park Cities Presbyterian Church,
4124 Oak Lawn Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75219. |

"Sallie" Berry
Dec 26, 1851 - Jan 19, 1871
Died at the residence of Mr.
James Talley, near Chatfield, Navarro County, Texas, on
Thursday, Jan. 19th, 1871, at 2 o'clock a.m. Miss Sallie P.
Berry of Wadeville.
"Truly in the midst of life we are in death.," Little did we think that when but a few days ago she left us but to enjoy a
pleasant visit to her relatives and friends that the sad news would soon come by the swift flight of a messenger that "She is
dead! She is dead!" What a shock is felt at the utterance of those words. Yes, she's dead. Gone in the bloom of youth and
beauty. Her deportment was ever exemplary - so kind, so amiable, so lively - she won the love and admiration of all who new her.
And sadly do we realize that she's gone. Her bright smile will cheer our hearts no more. The mellifluous tones of her voice
will greet us no more. Her Graceful form has adorned our church and Sabbath school for the last time, - she is gone. The purest
of the pure; but well do we know that as her eyes grew dim on earth, and earthy objects receded and disappeared, that they
brightened on immortality and the scenes of a better land and a brighter clime than this.
And may we not fancy, when it was announced to the inhabitants of that better country, -she comes! - She comes! - there was a
rustling of angel wings, - a thrilling of joy in those angelic spirits at the re-union of father, mother and daughter.
May that God who giveth and who taketh heal the broken hearts of her sorrowing friends and may they remember "That beyond the
wilderness of life Are gathered friends and landscapes fair,
Where sorrow, sin, and toil and strife Are past ! we can meet and love here there." - FRIEND
[Note: Sallie was the only child of Beverly Miller Berry and Sarah A. Persons who married in Livingston County, Ky.
Sarah died soon after Sallie's birth and the baby, with her
father, came to Texas with the James Persons family. She was reared by her grandmother, Catharine Hodge Persons, and was
visiting her aunt, Kate Persons Talley, when she died. She and her father are buried in the
Jimmerson Cemetery near Kerens, Navarro County]
