George Buster McDaniel, Jr., 82, passed away in Jasper, Texas, on Sunday, March 12, 2023. He was born on September 8, 1940, in Glenmora, Louisiana, to his parents, George Buster McDaniel, Sr. and Myrtie Cloud McDaniel. Junior was the first of many children, fourteen total to be exact. He was happily married to his wife, Doris Pauline Ellis McDaniel, for sixty-one years.

He followed in his father’s footsteps in many ways, but most importantly in his service to his country, as his father did. He proudly served in the U. S. Army and National Guard Reserves. He was mechanically inclined, and was often found working on his cars or those of others. He helped a countless number of people with their vehicles, always assisting when he could.

He was a bit standoffish to some, but once you got to know him, you found a friend. You could easily see how much he cared for his parents and siblings. Above everything, his greatest pride was his children!

Did I mention he loved music? His love of music was incomparable to any. You just had to mention the “greats” and he’d say, I have that CD. He could tell you who gave him the CD, when they gave it to him, and tell a story about the singer. There wasn’t a day in his adult life, when he was home working on a project or sitting around visiting, that there wasn’t music to be shared.  Sometimes it seemed the music was more important than the conversation.

His life’s timeline was measured by the jobs he was working and the visitation of family. Each day was one or the other; who came to visit, who he just visited, or who was coming.

Junior’s hardworking, can-do attitude and optimism was contagious, and will truly be missed.

Junior was proceeded in death by his wife, Doris Pauline Ellis; his parents, George Buster McDaniel, Sr. and Myrtie Cloud; two sons, George Delane McDaniel and George Blandon McDaniel; and great grandson, Rylan McDaniel.

Left to cherish his memory are his siblings, Mary Ann Eaves, and husband George (Buddy), of Oakdale, LA, Barbra Gene Harris of Jennings, Florida, and George (Bull) McDaniel of Houston, Texas; his children, Bryan Edward McDaniel and wife Regina, of Laporte, Texas, Debbi Sue McDaniel of Vidor, Texas, Connie Jo Caples and husband Mark, of Jasper Texas, Gordon Koehl McDaniel and wife Joraine, of Alvin ,Texas, Georgia Pauline McDaniel of Jasper Texas, and Reverend Jon Paul McDaniel and wife Crystal, of Friendswood, Texas; seventeen grandchildren; thirty-five great grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild.

Funeral services for Mr. George Buster McDaniel, Jr. will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, 2023, at in the Chapel of Rush Funeral Home, Oakdale, with Brother Gordon McDaniel officiating. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow in Oakhill Cemetery, Oakdale, under the direction of Rush Funeral Home, Oakdale.

Honored to serve as pallbearers are: Scott McDaniel, Anthony McDaniel, Richard Davis, Jon McDaniel, Koehl McDaniel, and Brandon Sellers. Honorary pallbearer will be Garrett Nance.

Patricia Ann Daugherty Tatum, beloved wife, mother, & aunt to several nieces and nephews, was born July 24, 1937 in Hutchinson, Kansas, and passed from this life on Saturday, July 23, 2022, one day before her 85th birthday.  A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, July 30, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Jasper with interment to follow at Newton City Cemetery. The family will greet friends from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. in the Frank Ealand Hall at First United Methodist Church.

Mrs. Tatum was preceded in death by an only sister, Mary Francis Daugherty, and is survived by Dr. Gary E. Tatum, O.D. and daughter Andrea Tatum, both of Jasper.

Pat, as she was known to her friends and family, graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a BFA in Art. She worked in Midland, Texas as an illustrator for Hallmark, where she met and married Gary Tatum, an engineer at the time, in 1961.  Mr. & Mrs. Tatum moved to Houston, where Pat worked for the Houston Chronicle in the art department while her husband attended the University of Houston School of Optometry.  In 1966 they moved to Jasper, where Dr. Tatum opened the first optometry practice in the area.  Pat worked in her husband’s office for many years, generously and capably helping in various positions, before retiring to pursue her love of art full time.

Pat was an artist of exceptional talent.  She was awarded 1st place by the Guggenheim Museum of New York City for her painting, "Orange Embracing Blue” at the Rauschenberg Tribute Exhibition in Port Arthur in 2009.  She also received 1st place in the Houston Exhibit of the Watercolor Art Society for her "Supernova”, a watercolor depicting sunflowers.  She studied art in Paris for several summers and, together with the friends who accompanied her, wrote & published a book about their experiences. Pat, along with other talented artists in the Jasper area, founded the East Texas Regional Art Center, locally known as the Jasper Art Center. She was a long-time board member, responsible for bringing in and showcasing the work of area artists.  Her family and friends have appreciated and enjoyed her paintings over the years and will now consider preserving as a memorial some of her works at the Art Center she helped to establish.  With the artist's eye for beauty, Pat loved all of God's nature, but flowers were her favorite.  She carefully cultivated her own flower garden and delighted in making gorgeous arrangements for each exhibit at the Art Center as well as for family events and holidays.  

She was also a talented photographer, documenting holidays and events with artistically framed shots, followed by the well-known photo albums she lovingly compiled and generously gave as gifts to friends and family.    

Pat was a longtime member of the First United Methodist Church in Jasper, where she taught Sunday School for many years and where she will be deeply missed.  Known for her tasteful and elegant manner of dressing, Patricia Tatum elevated every gathering she attended. For almost six decades, she was a kind, sweet and generously contributing influence in this small East Texas town of Jasper.  She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends in Jasper and elsewhere. Reminiscing with a relative, Dr. Tatum said, "We had a wonderful life together."  We ask that you remember in your kindness Mrs. Tatum's husband and daughter as they transition into a new stage of life without their dear wife and mother.  Condolences can be posted at www.shultzfuneralhomeofjasper.comor on Facebook at Shultz Funeral Home & Crematory.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Earlene Dry, his children, Renee Waggener and husband Clay of Jasper, Aubrey J. Dry Jr. of Jasper, Ronnie Dry and wife Gloria of Houston, and Eddie Dry and wife Brady of Beaumont.

Aubrey was born on the farm in Shelbyville, Texas in 1940, the fifth of six children in his family. His parents, not being well educated, always stressed the importance of getting an education. He worked hard on the farm and in school and graduated as an honor student from Shelbyville High School in 1958. Coming from a small school, he began college at Lee Junior College, where he lived with his oldest sister. It was at Lee College that he met his future wife, Earlene Albright (Dry) and the two were soon married while attending college. He worked during the summer doing construction and saved for his tuition each year while his wife Earlene worked full time as a bank teller. During his second year of college his father passed away. This only made him try harder to get his college education that his father wanted him to receive. After junior college he began school at Lamar University and majored in Civil Engineering. While at Lamar he worked as a student assistant for the head of the civil engineering department. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering in June 1963 from Lamar University. He immediately began working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers where he soon attained his Professional Engineer license. One of his first assignments was finishing portions of the seawall and jetty systems in Galveston, Texas. He moved his family near his projects back then, and had homes in League City, Port Arthur and Nederland, Texas where he worked as the Project Engineer building the Gulfgate Bridge, (now renamed to MLK Bridge) connecting Texas and Louisiana at Pleasure Island. He moved his family to Jasper, Texas in 1972 to manage the Sam Rayburn and Town Bluff / Dam-B projects as the Resident Project Engineer until his retirement in 1999, following 36 years of service. He achieved the rank of GS-13 with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is equivalent to the Army rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and was commonly referred to as “Chief” by his colleagues at the Corps of Engineers.

Aubrey enjoyed collecting coins, postal stamps, and his favorite of all time; railroad ‘date nails’. He had a vast collection of ‘date nails’ and was a life-long member of the Texas Date Nail Collectors Association. He was an avid gamesman and enjoyed playing a game of dominos where 42 and Moon were his favorites. He could usually be heard saying “I shoot the moon” or “shoot it”…as he often did…and he often won! He was an avid genealogist and historian and began tracing the Dry family tree back in the early 1970’s and was still active in genealogy until a few short years ago. He traced the Dry family back to the 1600’s where he discovered the family name “Dry” was originally “Dürr” before his 5th Great-Grandfather migrated to America in the 1750’s. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Sons of the Republic of Texas and the Jasper County Historical Society.

Above all, he was a loving family man, a hard worker, and the backbone of our family.  He has always encouraged his children and grandchildren in all endeavors whether they were in play, work or school. He never said that he did not have time to answer questions, and could easily tutor his children in algebra and higher math even after being out of college for nearly 20 years. He always stressed the importance of loving God, home and country and to always treat others in a manner that you would like to be treated. Your kind thoughts and prayers will be a blessing to his beloved family. Condolences can be posted at www.shultzfuneralhomeofjasper.com or on Facebook at Shultz Funeral Home & Crematory.

Charles M. Boyett left this world on April 13, 2022 at the age of 92 in Chico, California. A Graveside Celebration of Life Service will be held on Monday, April 25, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at Magnolia Springs Cemetery.

His medical issues in recent years showed his courage in still facing life with a smile, and earning accolades of being "the sweetest man" by all his nurses, care providers and people who crossed his path.

Charles was born to Monroe and Hortense Boyett on September 5, 1929 in Silsbee, TX.  After a childhood of adventure living on a farm, fishing in his favorite fishing holes and hunting squirrels with his childhood dog, Lepp in his beloved East Texas, he graduated from Kirbyville High School, Kirbyville, Texas and joined the Air Force.  His adventures continued around the world from there, as he served as a Medic in the Korean and Viet Nam Wars.   He took pride in his work with polio patients that were transported in Iron Lungs and Prisoners of War as they returned home.  He met the love of his life of 47 years, Wanda Lee Jackson, while he was stationed at Travis Air Force Base, California.  Together they raised 3 children, Jacqueline, Kathleen and Marc.

After retiring from the Air Force, he fulfilled a life-long dream to get a college education and graduated from California State University, Sacramento.  With a degree in Psychology, he advanced from being a Correctional Officer at the California State Prison in Vacaville to being a Counselor at San Quentin Prison.   Eventually, retiring with a second 20-year career with the State of California and lots of stories to tell!

Last but not least, he finished the working phase of his life with the California Conservation Corps/CCC-Cal Fire Center, recruiting young adults to serve and assisting many in building their literacy skills and obtaining their high school diplomas.

After his FINAL retirement and the loss of his wife, Wanda, in 2000, he traveled back and forth from California to Jasper, Texas yearly.  He remarried, Penny Rowton, and cared for her until her passing in 2014.

Charles was raised in a Christian home and had a love for Jesus, reading his bible and other literature about biblical events and enjoyed gospel music.  You often would hear him singing the old hymns, which was a part of the joy he carried in his heart. Charles was soft-spoken and never had a harsh word to say about anyone. He was a hardworking man, who loved his family and would always give a helping hand when asked.

 Charles is predeceased by his wives, Wanda and Penny, his daughter, Jacqueline and granddaughter, Heather.

He is survived by his two sisters, Mattie Smith and JoAnn Cox; his daughter Kathleen Terry and son-in-law Butch; son, Marc Boyett and daughter in law Jenn; 8 grandchildren, 13 Great Grandchildren, 1 Great-great granddaughter and many nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Charles Boyett to the Magnolia Springs Cemetery Association.
