She was born in the front bedroom of the 1913 R.G. Partlow home on Grand Avenue, the same place where she died on January 28, 2020.
Elizabeth—Lib as she was known in the family—was blessed with the sweet nature that she kept throughout her 99 years and brightened everyone she knew . She was baptized in the Liberty Methodist Church and went through school in Liberty, graduating from Liberty High when she was 16 years old as there were only eleven grades then. After graduating, she went to college, first at Southwestern University in Georgetown, then finishing at the University of Texas where she graduated with a degree in Business Administration. After a brief stint working for Humble Oil in Houston, she met the love of her life, Howard Wilson, at the wedding of her older sister Helen, and they were married in the Liberty Methodist Church in 1943. After their marriage, she spent almost 40 years traveling with her husband as he pursued a career with Texaco--she liked to say they moved fifteen times--from Chicago to Louisiana, New York to Houston, and even Trinidad, West Indies—until they retired to Houston in 1980.

They celebrated their 61st anniversary in 2003, and Howard passed away in 2005. After her husband’s death, she moved back to Liberty where she lived with her sister Helen until her death.

During her life, as she and Howard continued to move across the country, she was a faithful member of several congregations, teaching Sunday School and being active in Women’s Circles. In 1965 she was inducted into P.E.O., a service society which remained an important part of her life, and in 2015 she was honored as a 50-year P.E.O. “Golden Girl.” But throughout her life, family—both immediate and extended—took first place. She was always present for her husband and children, and as an energetic housekeeper and a talented and enthusiastic—“gourmet level”—cook, she did all in her power to “keep the home fires burning” and once a granddaughter arrived, they bonded immediately, and became inseparable. As a prolific letter writer, she did her part to keep the extended family connected as well, and was always grateful for the chance to visit siblings and cousins during her travels, making her a beloved family figure throughout her lifetime.

Lib was proceeded in death by her parents; her loving husband Robert Howard Wilson; brothers Ross Gerald Partlow, Sam Partlow; sisters Rose Marie Partlow, GeraldinePartlow Young and Helen Partlow Fairbrother. She is survived by her daughter Jeanette of Liberty; son Bob and his wife Dawn; granddaughter Claire and her wife Haley and great-granddaughter Archer all of Portland, Oregon; eleven nieces and nephews and numerous great nieces and nephews. As the last surviving child of R.G. and Voe Partlow, with her death a generation passes away, but she will be lovingly remembered by everyone who knew her.
The family would like to thank all of Lib’s wonderful and loving care-givers throughout the years. Your love and kindness will never be forgotten.

“I’m Free”
Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work and play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void.
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, I too will miss.
Be not burden with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savoured much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now,
He set me free.

John 14: 1-2
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?”

He was born on September 6, 1929 in Silsbee, TX to parents Vernon G. Carrico and Bobbie Davis Carrico.

Phil had an adventurous life. After graduating from Hull-Daisetta high school, he joined the United States Navy and served with the elite Naval Frogmen Underwater Demolition Teams in the Korean War. He was wounded in action and received a bronze star for heroic action in combat. The UDT teams were the beginning of our modern day Navy Seals. He was an American Hero. After serving in the military, he went on to get a college degree from San Diego State University and went to work for twenty-eight years for the City of Los Angeles in Recreation and Parks. He directed community centers for years in some of the roughest neighborhoods in LA. He was deeply loved for developing excellent programs for kids through senior citizens in all the communities he served. He was promoted later in his career to City Supervisor of Aquatics. He managed all Lakes and pools in the greater Los Angeles Area where he had a staff of over three-thousand employees. After retirement he and his wife Laura Ann Carrico moved back to their hometown area, first in Ames then to Daisetta, TX.

Phil began his writing career after retirement. He has had five books published and was a columnist for the Liberty Vindicator for many years. Phil was a member of the national VFW Chapter, the Fifties Frogs Association and the Naval Special Forces Association. He also served as vice-president and president for the Hull-Daisetta Golden Oldies alumni organization. He was also a long time member of the Liberty Historical Society.

Phil loved sports and the outdoors. He was a Hull-Daisetta Bobcat for life and his heart overflowed with love for his family and friends. He never met a stranger and he kept his good disposition in all weathers. Phil touched the lives of so many with his quick wit and inspirational humor. He was the life of the party and he will carry on that tradition with loved ones and family in Heaven.

Services for Amy will be 2:00 p.m., Monday, December 9, 2019 at Pace-Stancil Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Micah Mathews officiating. Interment will follow at Magnolia Park Cemetery in Dayton. Visitation for Amy will be 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evening at Pace-Stancil Funeral Home.

Amy has lived in Dayton since 1975 and was a former resident of Jacinto City. Amy will be remembered for having a heart the size of Texas. She loved being with her family especially her grandbaby, Zoey. She enjoyed fishing, watching “Wizard of Oz”, listening to Paul Neuman and Elton John.

Amy was preceded in death by her parents, Jerry and Erlene Smikal. She is survived by her husband of 5 years, Everett “Sonny” Wallette of Dayton; daughters, Candice Pifer and husband Robert of Dayton and Brandi Pope and Jay Kirton of Houston; granddaughter, Zoey Sheppard of Houston; brother Terry Graham and wife Debbie of Eastgate; father of her children, Prentiss Pope of Dayton; step-daughters, Casey Elmore and family of Pearland and Samantha Wallette and family of Houston; mother-in-law, Mary Everitt and husband Gary of Baycliff; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was born in Wellborn, Texas to Rose Edward and Emma Logan on November 9th, 1940. Sharon grew up there and graduated from A&M Consolidated High School in 1959. She lived a very long full life and putting that into a short story is an impossible task.

Sharon had a huge heart and helped anyone she could. She was sweet to her very core and very rarely said the word no.

She loved going to the beach, on cruises, the casinos occasionally, and playing cards with the girls late into the night before she was not able to anymore. Every morning found her up with a cup of coffee in her hand and gameshow network on the TV.

One of her favorite stories to tell was meeting Eddie Rabbit at a fair. Now, she was a huge fan of Eddie Rabbit, so it made her day when he kissed her on the cheek then on the lips. Considering she told that story to everyone throughout the years, I think it made not only her day but her lifetime!

There is one more story that she was proud to tell of her high school sweetheart, who was also her first husband, Alvin “AB” Brewer. When they graduated high school, he wrote in her annual that he would always take care of her. Their marriage may not have worked out, but throughout the years with many ups and downs, she was proud to tell everyone that he stayed true to his word and he took care of her when she anytime she needed help.

Sharon is preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, one sister, and one great grandchild.

She is survived by brother Theron “TR” Logan, sons Alvin “Peanut” Brewer, Roger Dale Brewer, and Russell “Rusty” Robb, many grandchildren, great grandchildren and numerous other family and friends.

She was loved by many and will never be far from our thoughts and hearts. May she rest in peace with her Lord and watch over us for the remainder of our days.
