Bill farmed in Dodson for many years and Lela insisted they stay there until the boys finished school. When all three sons finished high school, the whole family moved to Lubbock and rented a house so the three boys could go to Texas Tech.
Afterwards, Bill and Lela bought a farm in Muleshoe, TX and farmed there for a few years. It was dryland farming and Bill wanted to expand and get into irrigated farming so they moved to Alamosa, Colorado.
After Bill's death, Lela moved back to Texas to be near her sons, and lived in Dallas until her death.
Lela was always happy and content, no matter what the events in her life. She kept herself busy with crochet, crafts, and her potted plants which she sold from her front porch - one of the perks of living on busy Gus Thomasson Road in Dallas.
Even after a stroke left her unable to speak, her busy mind was sharp and alert, letting everyone know she was still there for them.
This memorial is maintained by a family member of the deceased.
