Richard Emery Gray

Body

My Dad was a giant of a man, born in Cherokee, Iowa, on Aug. 21, 1930, to Helen Betsworth and Max Gray. He died on Nov. 7, 2021. As there was no hospital in Fort Stockton, Texas, Helen returned to her Iowa family to give birth to her only male child. Soon after, mother and son returned to West Texas where Dad was raised. And what a childhood he had! On horseback, he explored the mesas and canyons, arroyos, and rugged terrain of a vast, largely untouched, ranching and oil country.

Terry Gayle (Thorn) Lowther

Body
Terry Gayle (Thorn) Lowther was born May 12, 1939, in Junction, Texas, to Walter and Katherine Thorn. She graduated from Christoval High School in Christoval, Texas, in 1957. After graduation she met R. A. Lowther, Jr., and the two were married in Sanderson, Texas, on Dec. 21, 1957. Our Gee was an incredibly sweet soul. She was a friend to all, and constantly reminded that she had never met a stranger. Anyone who crossed paths with her, even for a moment, were able to feel the love and genuine kindness she had in her heart. The impression she left on each person who knew her will never be forgotten. When she knew her time on this Earth was ending, she rejoiced in knowing she would be reunited with all of those she loved who went before her - her husband; her parents; her parents-in-law Robert Sr. and Ethel (Friedl) Lowther; brotherin-law Frank Donald Lowther; and her sister Petreta Cooke; as well as aunts and uncles, and a number of cousins and friends who she considered family. Among all the joys she had in her life, her biggest was her family. She and her husband were blessed to celebrate 54 years of marriage before he passed away in 2011. Their relationship was one she cherished, and one that produced many great memories of which she fondly reminisced in the years following his passing.
