Lillian Ann Easterling Wells, 87, passed away on June 4, 2015, with her beloved daughters by her side. A Celebration of Life will be at 11 a.m., Monday, June 8, 2015, at Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks Funeral Home. She will be laid to rest at 9:30 a.m., Wednesday, June 10, 2015, in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, beside her husband.
Ann was born in Montgomery, Alabama, to the late Flossie and Nathan Easterling. Annie married a charming, young Air Force captain in 1954, and her Southern upbringing served her well in her role as an officer's wife. We should never forget that the Greatest Generation would not have been the same without the unconditional support of all the wives on the home-front. Ann and Jerrie's career in the Air Force took them far and wide, including Louisiana, Arkansas, New York, Alabama, California, Puerto Rico and Delaware. In 1975, they retired in Bryan, Texas, where they lived for 35 years. During this time, they enjoyed working on their ranch in Centerville, Texas, better known as "the country". After her husband's death in 2011, she moved to Austin, Texas, to be closer to her family.
Annie had a delightful sense of humor and will always be remembered for the way she made others laugh. She had a sweet disposition and compassionate heart. Annie enjoyed many pleasures in life, including cooking, fishing, working outside, playing games, and all things Alabama; however, her greatest joy was taking care of, and spending time with, her family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Col. (Ret.) Jerrie C. Wells; and twin brother, William Dan Easterling.
Survivors include her daughters, Sarah Fekete and her husband Steve, and Margaret Patke and her husband, Richard; and grandchildren: Haley and Stuart Patke, and Alex Fekete. B19
