Nina Fae Singleton (87) went to be with her Lord and Savior on December 19th, 2025. Nina was born on December 6th, 1938, to Alvie Anderson and Zina Mae (Peggy) Wright Jarrett in Lamesa, Texas. A memorial service is scheduled for 2pm on Monday, December 22nd at Northside Baptist Church. Arrangements are under the care of Branon Funeral Home.

Nina was a dedicated, Godly woman who accepted Christ as her savior at an early age. She met Lindell Singleton, her love and soulmate, and they were wed on February 3, 1956 in Lamesa, Texas. They would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in just a few short weeks! Nina and Lindell were very seldom apart.

The love and shenanigans we kids witnessed at the dinner table, at church, and while working on the farm stayed with us. In their golden years especially, as Nina battled dementia, their love was proven again and again, teaching our family that it was more precious than gold. Nina was the best! The best wife, mother, and homemaker. She did it all: cooking, sewing, canning, chopping cotton, hauling cotton trailers, and waiting on cotton trailers (if you know, you know.) She swept sand, then swept more sand, and made everything better. Later she became a Nana, known for the very best Coke floats.

She worked for Klondike ISD for many years, first as a teachers aide, then in the library and loved working with children. She and Lindell were longtime members of Northside Baptist Church, where she taught children in Sunday School and Wednesday night children’s ministry for many years. They loved chasing grandchildren and attending their events, almost as much as they loved finding a bluegrass festival.

Nina is survived by her husband, Lindell, her daughter Teresa(Bryan) Roberts and her son Kenny (Nicole) Singleton. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Kara(Rob) Kirby of Waco, Clayton(Mica) Roberts of Glen Rose, Tyler(Jillery) Roberts of Lamesa, Kacia(Chris) Clark of Lamesa, Keathan Singleton, Bryce(Caitlin) Singleton of New Braunfels, and Breeley Singleton of Fort Worth, twenty great grandchildren and one great granddaughter with one more on the way.

Nina was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Gene Alvie and Johnnie Anderson Jarrett, son Ricky Lee Singleton, grandson Kendell Ray Singleton and great granddaughter Grace Adiah Roberts.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Alzheimer's Association or Northside Baptist Church.

Patricia Anne Oliver Miller, 68, of Lubbock, Texas, passed away on November 22, 2025, surrounded by the deep love of her family.

Patricia was born on August 19, 1957, in Lamesa, Texas, to Warren Layton Oliver and Evelyn Joyce Pearson Oliver. She was one of three children: her older sister, Teri Oliver Kent, and her brother, Sam Oliver, who preceded her in death. She grew up in a warm, devoted family in Lamesa, where her father—known affectionately as Layton—was a successful cotton farmer in Dawson and Gaines Counties. Some of Patricia’s happiest memories were riding along with him to the farm, helping whenever she wasn’t in school, and soaking in the rhythms of the land. She had a deep and life-long love for her parents, and would eventually care for them in their later years.

From an early age, Patricia was drawn to beauty, music, and expression. She played the flute exceptionally well, becoming a standout musician throughout her years in the Lamesa High School band. Her musical talent followed her through college and into adulthood and remained a part of her life’s soundtrack.

Patricia attended Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas, where she majored in Speech-Language Pathology. Caring for people—especially children—was her calling. She poured her heart into her career in pediatric speech therapy, where her compassion, warmth, and joyful spirit helped countless children find confidence and their own voices.

Her personality can only be described as sparkling, joyful, and full of life. Patricia’s laugh—musical, unmistakable, unforgettable—was the kind of sound that lifted spirits instantly. She loved music, decorating, color, holidays, and creating beauty wherever she went. Everything felt a little more magical when Patricia was near. She inherited her fabulous sense of style from her mother, Joyce, and carried that beauty with her always—inside and out. Those who found themselves in Patricia’s orbit will never forget her special magic and tremendous heart.

Patricia is survived by her devoted husband of nearly 41 years, Michael David Miller, who cared for her with unwavering love throughout her life and especially through her illness. His steadfastness, tenderness, and loyalty to Patricia were extraordinary; she could not have had a more loving partner.

She is also survived by her three children, who adored her:
• Jason Aaron Roberts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• Jennifer Anne Miller Grove of Corpus Christi, Texas
• Catherine Denise Miller Blackburn of Stephenville, Texas.

To her children, Patricia was first a caring mother—and, over time, a best friend and confidant. Their lives were shaped by her warmth, humor, creativity, and boundless love.

Patricia was the proud grandmother of four grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense joy: Memphis Coonrod, Sterling Seay, Jackson Grove, and Ella Grove. She remained active and engaged in their lives until the very end, supporting them, cheering for them, and loving them deeply.

Patricia leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, music, beauty, and generosity. She made life richer, fuller, and brighter for all who knew her. Her absence will be felt profoundly, but her light will continue in the hearts of her family, friends, and all those touched by her extraordinary spirit. Though we feel the ache of her absence now, our faith reminds us that this separation is only for a little while. We hold close the promise that we will meet again.

Funeral service for Patricia Ann Miller, 68, of Lubbock, will be held at 10:00 a.m. Monday, December 8, 2025 at the First Baptist Church Chapel with Pastor Dennis Adams officiating. Interment will follow at Dawson County Cemetery. Arrangements are under the care of Branon Funeral Home.

He is survived by his beloved wife Donna, his sister June Boles of Lubbock, and five of his six children: Ross, Gena, Jodi, Eric, and Sara. He was preceded in death by his brother, Joe Kenneth, and daughter Lori Ann. Billy was a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren—Galen, Marlen, Jaclyn, Dolen, William, Johnathan, D’Layna, Noah, Nate, and Dawson—and a great-grandfather to seven great-grandchildren: Jaxon, Grant, Collin, Layth, Casey, and two more blessings on the way. All of them were the joy of his life.

Billy Dale Roberts, a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on November 22, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. A lifelong resident of Welch, Texas, he dedicated his life to farming and cultivating the land. His fields flourished with cotton, peanuts, pumpkins, & watermelons. His hard work fed both his community and family with abundance and pride.

Billy’s memory will live on in the laughter of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, the traditions of his family, and the fertile soil of the land he worked so faithfully.

Billy’s greatest strength was his giving spirit. He cared deeply for his family, always putting their needs before his own. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering love were the foundation upon which his family grew. He leaves behind a legacy of devotion and compassion that will continue to guide those who knew him.

His family and friends will remember him not only for the crops he grew but for the love he sowed in every heart he touched.
