Tony Ray Hatley
Nov 19, 1953 - Aug 9, 2022
Tony
Ray Hatley, 68, of Friendswood, Texas, died unexpectedly on August 9, 2022. He was born November 19, 1953 in
Haskell, Texas to Jessie Wayne and Frances (Armstrong) Hatley.
Tony is preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Frances and his grandson, Mitchell Beaux Hatley.
Tony is survived by his wife, Janie Hinkle Hatley, his sons, Micah and wife
Sierra, Jessie and wife Hannah, his grandchildren, Ella (15), Mason (13), Charlotte (11), Wyatt (10), Georgia
(9), Evelyn (4), Ashton (9), Paisley (4) and Harvey who will be born any day now to Micah and Sierra. He had two
sisters, JoAnn and Nancy and brother, Tim.
Tony would also want Sarah and Erin to know how much he loved them and appreciated how dedicated they were to
his grandchildren.
Tony grew up in Blooming Grove, Texas. He was the third child of Wayne
and Frances, growing up a small-town boy, this great big world seemed unattainable. He met Janie Angela Hinkle
when he was in the third grade and loved her until his last breath on August 9, 2022.Tony and Janie celebrated
their 50th wedding anniversary on March 25, 2022. He was a
1972 graduate of Blooming Grove High School, in Blooming Grove, Texas. He did not choose college because
he was determined that life had purpose for him that would lead to success. He began that path with nothing
in his pocket and built a life and family full of people that loved and respected him. He worked hard to create
his own company that he was very proud of, Texas Mezzanine Design. As Tony grew his business, he had many
longtime employees that depended on him for not only work, but personally as well. They knew that his support
was only a phone call away. Tony always supported his family, he sent his oldest son, Micah to the University
of Texas at Austin and eventually to law school and worked closely with his youngest son, Jessie to help support his dreams of owning and running his own
business.
Micah and Jessie would both agree that Tony was a tenderhearted,
unconventional father. The nature of his parenting included joking, taking them to construction sites and
introducing them to interesting people. The fact that he held them to a higher standard is the foundation in
which they aim to make their beloved father always proud of them for years to come.
Tony was dedicated to his friends as well. He truly enjoyed being a lifetime
member of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the Planet Texas cook-off team. He made lifelong friends
that provided support and comradery. He was a Vice Chairman for many years with the Livery Team, later the
Rodeo Contestant Services Team. The group of people that served with him know how much time he dedicated to the
contestants that come every year to compete in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He loves all of you
more than you will ever know.
Since Tony was young, he was a man that never met a stranger. If you knew him,
you know he could talk to anyone about anything even if he had no knowledge of the topic of conversation. If you
ever had a conversation with Tony, you never knew when he was pulling your leg or telling the truth. It also
brought him great pleasure to know that he could take your situation and bring it to a level of humor. Tony
enjoyed making people laugh and if it included teasing you then that was even better. No matter how annoying
his teasing became; you just wanted to hug his bigger than life personality.
At the end of Tony's life, it was all about the people he loved; above all
else, his grandchildren who simply called him, Papa. The word, no was not in his Papa vocabulary. Tony might have
aspired to be many things in life but being Papa will ultimately be his greatest legacy and that was exactly
the way he would have wanted it.
Every year, Planet Texas cook-off team hosts the children with cancer
through the Candlelighters foundation for lunch. On this special day, Tony's part was working to ensure that each
child received a carnival book to enjoy a fun day. The Planet Texas members have let us know that hundreds of
kids were impacted by Tony's generosity and determination to fund raise so every child got a
carnival book. Therefore, Tony would not want flowers or a fuss to be made for his passing, just for each of you
who reads this to help the children and families of the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Family Alliance. If you
would like to know more about this wonderful organization founded by families of children with cancer

International to help support the continued distribution of
God's Word.

dear friend and her loving caregiver for the past 5 years,
Ms. Pat Standard, LVN, of Meadows Place, Texas.
Dr. Brinkley was a beloved Mother, Grandmother and
Great-Grandmother who was always kind and loving, was filled
with a Christian faith that she lived-out daily, and gave of
herself selflessly throughout her entire life. She was also
a brilliant and successful woman who accomplished much
throughout her entire life. As a high school student she
excelled academically but also was the Captain of the
Basketball team, winning County then State honors and was
selected to the All-Star Team; additionally being named
All-State Guard and All-Staff Forward both her Junior and
Senior year. The team called her 'legs' as she was their
tallest member. She went on into her early adulthood to work
tirelessly in a plant building airplanes in the World War II
efforts, and was the proverbial 'Rosie the Riveter'.
Following a near-fatal auto accident in 1943, she beat all
the odds and her doctor's prognosis by surviving, learning
to walk again, and eventually giving birth to a second
child. This strong-will and determination continued to
propel her forward as she first became a LVN (nurse), then
earned her RN from Hermann Hospital in Houston and ran the
Operating and ER at Polly Ryan Hospital in Richmond.
Eventually she returned to the academic world to earn a BS
and MS in Nursing, a BA in Psychology and a MEd in Guidance
and Counseling; and finally her EdD - Doctorate of Education

of Nursing at Polly Ryan Hospital for many years prior to it
becoming a part of WCJC. She went on to become the Director
of the ADN School of Nursing at Alvin Community College, for
20 years, where students and instructors loved her dearly
for her exceptional skills of teaching and her great
kindnesses. After retiring from nursing, she became a LPC
(Licensed Professional Counselor) and a BCIA (Biofeedback
Therapist Certified / Institute of American). During this
second career she worked with her daughter, Dr. Mazie
Leftwich, in her Counseling Clinic in Richmond and then went
on to be Director of the Biofeedback Clinic at Orchard Creek
Hospital in Rosenberg until her second and final retirement.
Professional Associations and Honors include: Texas and
American Nurses Association; National League for Nursing;
Deans and Directors of Nursing Schools of Texas; Who's Who
in American Professional Organizations; Who's Who in
American Women; International Who's Who in Education;
American Institute of Biofeedback and the Fort Bend Health
Council, as well as many, many others.
Her Community and Civic involvement includes: Texas Honorary
Life Member - National PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) and
President, Texas PTA; she was very active during the Mothers
March on Polio from 1938 - the mid-60s that eventually
irradiated the disease'; District President and Grand Nobel,
Rebekah Lodge (Rosenberg); had leadership roles in the
American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Salvation
Army; was a Girl Scout and 4-H Leader, Band and Choir
Booster President - Lamar CISD; and longtime Bible Student

Dennis Gene Powell
Jun 26, 1948 - Dec 2, 2020
Dennis
Gene Powell passed away December 2, 2020, at the age of 72.
Dennis was born June 26, 1948 in Taylor, Texas to Ike and
Norma Powell. His father worked for Texas Power and Light
and his mother was employed at Adams Hat Factory in
Corsicana until her retirement. Dennis and his brother James
grew up in Taylor until they moved to Corsicana in Dennis'
junior year of high school.
It was during his two years at Navarro College that Dennis
met his beautiful bride, Debra Henson. The two were married
in Teague, Texas and were blessed with 46 years of marriage.
Dennis was a true family man, working hard as a pressman for
Taylor Publishing Company for over forty years to take care
of his family, retiring in 2013. His kids meant everything
to him, and he was a very active father. God willing, he
made it to every school or sporting event his children had,
and even helped coach his son Kevin's peewee basketball
team. He made sure his family always knew they came first. A
very selfless, loving man, Dennis cared for his wife Debra,
whose health was failing in the last several years, until
long term care became necessary in February of this year.
Dennis had an easy-going personality and took everything in
stride, always saying "I'm Ok" and "Well, it'll be alright."
He loved spending time with his family, so weekends and
holidays meant family time fishing at the lake house. Dennis
always had a smile on his face, which would light up the
room when he saw his grandkids. They meant everything to
him. In his free time, he enjoyed raising Boston terriers.
Dennis leaves behind his wife of 46 years, Debra Powell, his
daughter and son-in-law Monica and Kelly Tuley of Red Oak,
Texas, his son and daughter-in-law Kevin and Jessica Powell,
his grandchildren Raegan and Bradyn Morris,, Austin Tuley,

Wiley Major "Junior"
Crenshaw, Jr.
Sep 1, 1934 - Jan 28, 2022
After
a journey replete with gentle patience, quiet humility,
and faithful commitment to our greatest commandment, God
fulfilled His promise to Wiley Major Crenshaw, Jr. in
the sweet moments of the early morning, January 28,
2022.
"Junior," as he was more affectionately known, was born
September 1, 1934, in Cedar Hill, Texas, to Wiley Major
Crenshaw and Johnnie Kathrine Glass Crenshaw. He is
preceded in death by his parents and siblings, and he is
survived by his dear wife of 47 years, Earlene Crenshaw.
He is also survived by his three loving children,
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephews, nieces, and
other extended family.
Junior grew in faith through his longtime membership
with the First Baptist Church (FBC) of Blooming Grove,
Texas. The FBC Men's Ministry and his daily devotionals
with breakfast were his most cherished times of
fellowship. For 45 years Junior built lifelong
friendships alongside a decorated career with Gorman
Co., Inc. in Cedar Hill, Texas. Junior was also a
devoted member of the Grand Lodge of Texas where he
served in many offices including Worshipful Master of
Blooming Grove Lodge No. 497 and District Deputy Grand
Master for the 110th District.
Expressions of sympathy may be made in memorial to the
First Baptist Church of Blooming Grove Men's Ministry.
Junior's life will be celebrated privately. Please note
his change of address. He would like to see you there. |
