      Obituary

      Helen Louise Minnis, 94, of Rosevine, Texas passed away Sunday, January 3, 2021 in Hemphill Care Center.

      Helen was born on December 10, 1926 in Rosevine, Texas to Luther Wright and Julia Drawhorn [???, other sources show PARMER] Wright. She had been a resident of Rosevine during her early years and then again in her retirement. She lived in the Houston and the Kingsville area through most of her working years. She was certified in credit and operating systems for Goodyear. She had worked as a secretary in the medical field and specifically enjoyed her work at Dr. Haley's office.

She loved gardening, canning, and taking care of her place with her husband, Lyman. She missed him everyday since his passing and longed to be with him again.

      She is survived by her grandchildren, Vic Sowell and wife, Barbara, of Palestine, Teresa Boyett and husband, Kelley of Hemphill, Lora Horn of Tyler, Kurt Horn of California, Lisa Williams of Tyler, and Lynna Tomlin and husband, Paul, of Henderson; great grandchildren, Krystle, James, Tara, Tessa, Thomas and wife, Faith, Conner, Jace, Cameron, Cori, Rileigh, and Elijah; and great-great grandchildren, Raina, Zerenity, Benjamin, Gavin, Theodore, Devin, and Elli.
