The world said farewell to a family hero on January 16, 2025, when Glenda Ann Lewis was welcomed by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into Heaven! Glenda is survived by her husband of 60 years Charles W. Lewis, two sons Ronnie Lewis and Robert Lewis, 11 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Glenda was a gentle soul loved by everyone she met and was never known to have said an unkind thing about anyone. She was a generous giver and never a taker. She loved studying the bible and faithfully supported her husband in his 26-year service as a Unit3ed states Air Force Chaplain.
Glenda lost her mother at the age of 11 and was thrust into the role of home caretaker. She did so superbly and without complaint, growing mature and wise at an incredibly young age. At the age of 18 she married Charles and worked at the California Department of Motor Vehicles. They moved to the University of Georgia where she assumed duties as Facilitator of Campus Transportation and when Charles went to seminary she filled the position of Executive secretary to the Vice President of Finance. She was an incredibly talented young lady.
Glenda loved her husband and family that love was graciously accepted and returned. She was proud of her two boys and the families they created and spoiled her grandchildren. She was the consummate wife, mother, and grandmother. Words do not do justice in trying to describe this remarkable one of a kind woman. This world is not the same without her!

In Loving Memory of Josefina Capetillo
(1946 - 2025)
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Josefina Capetillo at the age of 78. She was welcomed into Heaven by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 16th, 2025, joining her beloved husband, Elizardo Capetillo, who preceded her in death in 2008.
Josefina was born February 9, 1946, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Soon after her family would move to Mission, Texas when she was the tender age of 6 months old along with her siblings. There she and her family were migrant workers of many different kinds of fields such as cotton, sorghum, strawberry and much more. Soon after becoming a teenager, Josefina met her future husband Elizardo "Lee" Capetillo. They met while working in the fields at the age of 14 and soon fell in love. Lee and Josefina were married at the age of 21 on April 16, 1967. It would be two years later in the state of Indiana that they would welcome their first born, Manuel Antonio.Their work lives took them cross country from Washington state, midwest until finally settling in Houston, Texas in the 1970's where they later had their daughter Annick Renee. Josefina began to work as a telephone operator at Bell South where she continued to flourish in her tenure there. In 1987, both Josefina and her husband surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. From this point on their lives became a living testimony and miracle of God's redemption and goodness to so many who knew them.
Josefina was known for her radiant smile, which could light up any room, and her laughter that reflected her colorful, fun-loving spirit. Her kindness, humor, and vibrant personality made her a cherished friend to many. With a compassionate heart and a warm presence, she touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. Josefina had a deep appreciation for classic and black and white movies, especially old westerns. Above all, she found peace in prayer and drew strength from her faith. The greatest joy in her life was spending time with her beloved grandchildren, who brought her boundless happiness. Her love for them was limitless, and they were the light of her life.
After nearly 30 years of service, Josefina retired from AT&T, where she built lasting friendships and left a mark on everyone she worked with.
Josefina’s family was her greatest joy. She is survived by her son, Manuel A. Capetillo, her daughter Annick Capetillo Garza and son-in-law Ernest Garza, and her three adored grandchildren, Aaron Lopez, Eliana Lopez and Benjamin Garza, and her siblings Micaela Vela, Ignacio Lopez, Agapito Lopez, Jose A. Lopez, Jesus Lopez, Maria De La Luz Garza and Miguel Lopez and many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion to her family, and will be remembered for her steadfast affection and care. Josefina will be deeply missed by all who loved her. Her spirit will forever live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who knew her.
A memorial service to celebrate Josefina’s life will be held on Friday, February 7th, 2025, at Veterans Funeral Services, 10567 Veterans Memorial Dr., Houston, TX 77038. Gathering begins at 1:00 PM, followed by a chapel service at 1:30 PM and a procession to Houston National Cemetery at 2:30 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Josefina’s memory by sharing stories, laughter, and love with those around you. Take a moment to reach out to someone you care about and remind them how much they mean to you, just as Josefina did throughout her life.

John (Jay) Wesley McJunkin IV
September 18, 1952 – January 20, 2025
Jay was an Army Vietnam Veteran, devoted family man and cherished friend, who passed away peacefully on January 20, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on September 18, 1952, Jay leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and a life well-lived.
Jay was the beloved husband of the late Tracy Josephine Sinagro, with whom he built a beautiful family and life. Together, they raised nine children: John, Jana, Joey, Jaclyn, Brian, Jo Anna, Kristin, Anthony, and Branden. He was also a proud and caring grandfather who found immense joy in his growing family. He is also survived by his brothers Keith, Dan, and Steven, many nieces and nephews, and his beloved grandchildren, Destiny, Joahan, Matthew, Jayden, Eliana, Aleksis, Lily, Sunny, and Dae.
Jay was born in Galveston, Tx and started building homes in Katy, Tx. He worked as far north as New Jersey, built communities in south Florida, and served throughout numerous cities within the Lone Star State; Jay poured his heart into constructing not only homes but the dreams of countless families. His craftsmanship and dedication left an enduring mark on his community.
Jay’s adventurous spirit extended beyond his profession. He was a black belt in taekwondo, ambitious bass fisher and multiple marathon finisher, demonstrating a rare determination and passion for life’s challenges. As a Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults candidate, he lived his faith through action, inspiring others with his leadership and passion for excellence.
When not working, running or walking, Jay could be found tending to his garden, nurturing life in yet another form, or enjoying the music of Bruce Springsteen, a lifelong favorite. His love for “The Boss” was rivaled only by the love he showed to those around him.
Jay’s life was one of service, dedication, and love. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, were supported by him, and were blessed to call him family or friend.
A funeral Mass will be held at Saint Martha Catholic Church in Kingwood, Texas 10 February 2025 at 10:30 am followed by a military ceremony at the Houston National Cemetery at 2:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the non-profit Prison Entrepreneurship Program https://www.pep.org/donor-journey-2025 in Jay’s honor.
