Tommie Maurine Blackwell Sikora passed away Saturday, July 19, 2014, in Keller, Texas. She was born Oct. 19, 1926, in Wingate, Texas, to George Washington Blackwell and Mary Elizabeth Owens. She married Roy E. Brown Jr., Sept. 1, 1947, in San Angelo, Texas, and had four children. After her husband's death in 1984, she later married Robert W. "Bill" Sikora in Kenai, Alaska. Her son, Mark D. Brown, also preceded her in death.
Tommie is survived by children Gloria A. Talley and husband Gene of Southlake, Texas, Bobbie K. Farnsworth and husband Mark of Nikiski, Alaska, and Patricia E. Lighter of Anaheim, California; grandchildren Gina Talley of Austin, Texas, Georgette Poole and husband Michael of North Richland Hills, Texas, Gillian Talley of Dallas and Michael Farnsworth and wife Jolene of Anchorage, Alaska; and great-grandchild Lila Poole.
After growing up among a large farming family in rural Wingate and living for many years in San Angelo, she and her husband with their school-aged children embarked on an adventure to the land of the Midnight Sun in the late 60's where she continued her legal secretary work and raised her youngest children.
Tommie was the youngest and the last of her siblings, having lost her last sister less than a month ago. Coming from such a close family of sisters and brothers, 11 in all, family reunions were always lively, fun and well-attended events. In her retirement years, she enjoyed time with her grandchildren and travels throughout much of the world on tours and cruises with her second husband, Bill. They enjoyed the seasons by following the sun with homes in Alaska, Arizona and Hawaii.
Following his death, she returned back home to Texas in the late 90's. A Baptist by faith, she raised her children in a gentle and loving way. Never meeting a stranger, she enjoyed cooking and entertaining others, always fun-loving and generous to her family and friends.
The family extends their heartfelt appreciation to all of the Keller Oaks Nursing Home and Freedom Hospice staff for their care and compassion. Visitation will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, at Johnson's Funeral Home, 435 W. Beauregard Ave., San Angelo, Texas. Funeral service will be at 1 p.m. Thursday in Johnson's Funeral Home chapel with Pastor James Mitchell officiating and interment following the service in Fairmount Cemetery, 1100 W. Avenue N, San Angelo.
