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.

Charles Alan Boyd, 62, of Nacogdoches, passed away Thursday, June 15, 2017 in Houston, Texas. Mr. Boyd was born on May 1, 1955, in Hemphill, Texas, the son of Charles Edward Boyd and Julia Oweda Clark Boyd. Funeral Services will be held at 2:00PM on Monday, June 19, 2017 at Laird Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Jason Lott officiating. Visitation will be held from 1:00PM until service time on Monday, June 19, 2017 at Laird Funeral Home.

Alan was raised in Nacogdoches and went to school there. From an early age, he loved being around people. Alan graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a Master's Degree. He spent many years as an adjunct instructor for both SFASU as well as Angelina College and was often called on to substitute for most of the schools in Nacogdoches County. He taught online courses as well. His desire to share his knowledge led him through his calling as a teacher. When he wasn't teaching, Alan could be found either on the porch at his Mamma's or around a fire in the backyard. His family was of utmost importance and he spent every holiday with them, cooking and grilling for the gatherings. To his family, Alan will be remembered as the smartest and nicest person they knew. He had a servant's heart. He enjoyed the times he spent with his nieces and nephews playing with them and found great joy knowing that they were always ready to run races with him. Another favorite time with his family was the reunions they attended every year at Kent, Texas where Alan had become the unofficial host and chief cook. Alan had a great love of music but he most loved history. Being educated was something he was proud of and he felt honored to be able to pass that on to others.

Alan is survived by his mother, Oweda Boyd of Nacogdoches; brothers, Brent Boyd and wife, Kimberly of Palestine, Dwayne Boyd and wife, Megan of Waco; sister, Debra Murdock of Nacogdoches; nephews, Clint Murdock and Joe Murdock; nieces, Lindsay Murdock, Amanda Armijo, Morgan Marshall, Lauren Boyd, and Cristy Gatlin.

He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Edward Boyd.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to University Baptist Church, 2505 North Street, Nacogdoches, Texas, 75961.
