    Notes:

    Marcille Gooch Moore

    Marcille Gooch Moore was born the oldest child of Lawrence and Ida Youngblood Gooch Jan. 8, 1921, at Sabinetown. On Feb. 8, 2009, in San Augustine, she succumbed to complications of Alzheimer's disease and receiving her promise of eternal life, joined in heavenly paradise her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and all her loved ones who have gone on before.

    Marcille is survived by her husband, Madison Moore, of Port Arthur; sons and daughters-in-law, Roger and Jeannie Coday of Lake Jackson and Frank and Virginia Coday of Hemphill; brothers, R. F. Gooch and wife Dorothy and J. E. Gooch and wife Nina of Hemphill; and sister, Pauline Neal of Nacogdoches. Also surviving are step-daughters Johnnie Lee O'Dell and Billie Jean Legg of Silsbee, Patricia Donnelly and Sondra Thompson of Port Arthur, Willie Mae Harvey of Newton, Louis Adkison of Hemphill, and step-son, Richard Moore of Woodville. Other survivors include nieces, nephews, grandsons, granddaughters, and grandchildren all of whom are a living legacy of her marriage to three wonderful, loving husbands.

    Marcille was predeceased by husbands, H.D. Coday, Sr. and Delton Jones, her parents, siblings C. P. Gooch, Edelle Jackson and step-children Florene Casciola, Maurice Salles, Mildred Merritt, Aliene Belaire, and H. D. (Sonny) Coday, Jr.

    Upon graduation from Hemphill High School in 1938, Marcille moved to Houston where she employed as a telephone operator by Southwestern Bell. She met and married Drexel Coday, a widower with seven children. From that union, Roger and Frank were born.

    After the death of her first husband in 1969, Marcille married Delton Jones. They shared their final years of employment with Temple Lumber Company as they both moved toward retirement. After Delton passed away, Marcille met and married Madison Moore. Their lives together were filled with activities, surrounding family, church, travel, the Hemphill Senior Citizens Center, Eastern Star, and Madison's Masonic activities.

    Marcille was a strong woman. Her life epitomized the strength and where-with-all exhibited by pioneer women of her first husband's age (he was born in 1894.) Although she was a sensative, loving woman, she could and did work like a man. In 1954 at LaBelle, while helping Drexel and the hands work cattle in spring roundup, she was cornered in a corral and knocked flat by an enraged 900 pound Brahman bull. The "working hands" were amazed when two hours later, although banged and bruised, she had picked herself up, gone back to work, and under shade trees near the corral, served a hot noon-time meal to the cowboys.

    A visitation was held from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 10 at Starr Fuenral Home, Hemphill.

    Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Aaron Pardue, First Baptist Church of Hemphill assisted by Rev. Jim Salles of West End Baptist Church of Beaumont at 1 p.m. Wednesday, (today), Feb. 11 at the funeral home. Interment will follow in Hemphill Cemetery.

    Pallbearers will be J.E. Gooch, Robert G. Neal, Sr., Tommy Neal, Dean McGee, Josh Thompson, John Edwin "Butch" O'Dell, and Ted O'Dell.

    Services are under the direction of Starr Funeral Home in Hemphill.

  28. 63.  Leta Joyce Conner Descendancy chart to this point (24.Willie3, 6.Jack2, 1.Caroline1) was born on 11 Feb 1934 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 15 Nov 2018; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas.

    Notes:

    Shown as Lela Joyce on the Texas Birth index transcription of her birth, but as Leta Joyce on the listings of each of her three sons, and in the obituary of her sister, Clarice Conner Clark.

    Mrs. Leta Joyce Corley was born on February 5, 1934. The youngest of 4 girls. She graduated from Hemphill ISD and went on to graduate from Stephen F. Austin University with a teaching degree. She married Lee Herbert Corley on February 15, 1954. Lee and Leta went on to have 3 boys, Ed, James, and David. On top of having 3 boys, they managed to open a service station and Leta taught school. With lots of love and determination they raised their children and owned a successful business.

    When she wasn't teaching she could be found at many functions involving her children or grandchildren. Her pride in her family was always apparent in anything she did. She was always known for her smile and her ear piercing whistle. That whistle would have children standing at attention from 1/2 mile away. She used it at school and at home. If you didn't listen when she whistled you would be in trouble.

    After teaching for over 30 years, Leta retired in 1996. She spent most of her teaching career in 1st grade. She loved all her little students. She probably taught 80% of the children in Hemphill.
    She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her family was her world and pride to most people she was Leta Joyce or Mrs. Corley. To her family she was momma or nanny, but to Lee she was "Yes Dear". She would give advice or just hold our hands. She is the glue that holds our family together. She loved to pick and joke with her boys. She always said that if her boys weren't picking at her she knew something was wrong.

    There will be a visitation of friends and family Tuesday from 5 until 8 pm at Starr Funeral Home and her funeral service will be at 10:00 am Wednesday at Starr Funeral Home Chapel in Hemphill with burial to follow in Hemphill Cemetery.

    She is survived by; her husband of 65 years Lee Herbert Corley of Hemphill; sons, Edward Corley and wife Susan of Hemphill, James Corley and wife Stephanie of Hemphill, David Corley and wife Patricia of Nacogdoches; grandchildren, Cara Westbrook and husband Andrew of Hemphill, Eric Corley of Hemphill, and Ashley Roberts and husband Christopher of Alabama; great grandson, Alexander Freeman of Hemphill; sister, Vernell Thomas of Palestine; nieces, Lauren Karch and husband Robert of Palestine, Anice Carter and husband Terry of Van, and Alice Smith of Lufkin. She is preceded in death by; her parents Lorena Louisa Edgar Conner and Starling Wesley Conner; grandson Brandon Corley; and sisters Rosalee Smith and Clarice Clark; and niece Louisa Ryan.
