She was a nomad who called many places home, but Houston undoubtedly had her heart. A loving mother, Christian and nurse, the trials of her life only seemed to make her stronger. Brandi earned her degree in BSN-RN and spent the rest of her life helping others. So many lives were saved because of her. A special instance involved Brandi's sister and her mother, Bonnie. Miss Bonnie is alive today because of Brandi, her quick thinking and servant heart. Brandi is survived by her father, David Reed of Pasadena, her sister, Debbie Reed of Coldspring, daughters Abigail Reed of League City and Savanna Billingsley of Tyler. She is preceded in death by her mother. Mildred Whatley, sister Davida Reed and brother Butch Reed. A kind and gentle soul was given another chance to right her wrongs before the Good Lord called her home. Her venture was completed, and our lives are infinitely better for it.

A gathering of family and friends to celebrate his life will be held at Shultz Funeral Home in Jasper on Friday, April 29, 2022. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. with services to follow at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at Holly Grove Cemetery in Holly Grove, Texas near Livingston at 2 p.m.

He was preceded in death by his parents Roy Dry Sr. and Willie Alvera Wicker Dry, his brother Roy Dry Jr., sister Eleanor “Auntie” Perry, and sister Joan Birge.

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. His sister, Laura Berry of Corpus Christi, Texas and his brother, Audley Dry and wife Pam of Victoria, Texas. His grandchildren, Clayanne Spadaccini and husband Michael of Jasper, Jill Beatty and husband Cedric of Jasper, Jacob Waggener of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Lawson Dry and wife Krista of Brookeland, and Lacy Jordan and husband Derek of Splendora. His great grandchildren, Camden and Claire Spadaccini, Braelyn and Trevor Beatty, Jaeya Waggener, and Arabella, Mary, Evelyn and Chasen Jordan. 

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.
