William (Bill) C. Hearn of Waco, Texas, passed away on March 11, 2026, at home in Waco, TX.

Burial will be at Rosemound Cemetery in Waco at 9 a.m. on Friday, March 20th. Services will follow at Holy Spirit Episcopal Church at 11 a.m. Visitation will be at Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey Funeral Home on Thursday, March 19th, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m.

He was born on October 20, 1941, in Waco, Texas, to John Dudley and Sunshine Elnora Hearn. On August 15, 1965, Bill married the love of his life, Mary Louise, beginning a lifelong partnership centered on faith, family, and service.

Bill earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences from Texas A&M University in 1963. He later earned a Master of Education, with minors in English and Psychology, from Sam Houston State University in 1974 and a Master of Arts in Behavioral Sciences from the University of Houston–Clear Lake in 1980.

He proudly served his country in the United States Army for eight years, dedicating his life to leadership, duty, and honor. From 1964 to 1967, he held key leadership, command, and staff positions in the Panama Canal Zone. He went on to serve from 1967 to 1968 as a Rifle Company Commander and Division Staff Officer with the 1st Infantry Division in Vietnam, leading with courage in one of the most challenging chapters of his military career. From 1969 to 1972, he continued his service as an Assistant Professor of Military Science at the University of Alaska, shaping and mentoring the next generation of Army officers. Through this experience, he discovered a passion for working with college students.

His distinguished service was recognized with some of the nation’s highest military honors, including the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Army Commendation Medal, and Combat Infantryman and Airborne Badges. His legacy of bravery, integrity, and devotion to his country will be remembered with deep gratitude. Following his military service, Bill devoted many years to higher education and student development at Texas A&M University at Galveston. Twice, he was called upon to serve as campus CEO. While working in Galveston, he spent many summers aboard the Texas Clipper, a training ship used as a “school at sea” for students. Bill is renowned for bringing the traditions of the main campus, such as Aggie Muster, Silver Taps, and SALT Camp (Fish Camp), to the Galveston campus. His dedication to Texas A&M and the Galveston campus was recognized by the naming of the William C. Hearn Honor Guard and his induction into the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Hall of Honor.

Bill was a deeply faithful man who shared his love for God through both words and actions. He served his churches in a variety of capacities in Dickinson, Galveston, and Waco. He served on the boards of the Galveston County Salvation Army, Red Cross, Mental Health Association, A&M Club, and the Episcopal Canterbury House for college students in Galveston.

Outside of work, he enjoyed breeding and showing canaries, receiving numerous national awards. He also enjoyed raising dogs, caring for animals, and long walks on the trails at Lake Waco.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John Dudley (J.D.) and Sunshine Hearn; his wife, Mary Louise Hearn; and his siblings, Martha Hutchinson, Barbara Weir, and John Hearn.

Bill is survived by his daughters: Carol Scott and her husband Ken; Kimberly Hawkins and her husband Joel; and Beth Williamson.

He is also survived by his grandchildren: Ciara Oatman (Wesley), Gabriel Scott, Erica Holliday (Norris), Darren Hawkins, Kristin Hearn, Zachary Cowley (Kim), and Matthew Cowley (Courtney).

His great-grandchildren include Caroline, Wilson, Colette, and Cathleen Oatman; Cadence, Makayla, Scarlett, Aria, and Grayson Holliday; and Rilynn Cowley and Cayden Hodges.

Betty Shelton Bracken

Betty Shelton Bracken, affectionately known as “BB” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 10, 2026, in Dallas, Texas, at the age of 88.

A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 17, at Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey Funeral Home in Waco. You are cordially invited to wear “bright” clothing to honor her memory.

Betty was born in Palestine, Texas, on April 9, 1937, to Roland R. Shelton and Marie Stamps Shelton. Raised in Kerens, Texas, Betty gave early hints of the woman she would become… serving as head majorette for her high school band, homecoming queen, and graduated valedictorian of her class. Betty attended Baylor University, where she was an Alpha Omega, and later formally affiliated with Pi Beta Phi. She graduated with a business degree in marketing.

She enjoyed her first job as a high-end fashion buyer for women at Titche-Goettinger, often remembered as Titche’s, one of the most prominent and influential department stores during the “golden age” of retail in Dallas. Soon she would meet the love of her life, S Terry Bracken, on a blind date. They married on December 16, 1961, less than six months after their first date!

The newlyweds moved to Houston as Terry pursued his career in public accounting. Betty would work for Tennessee Gas until the arrival of her adored only child, Jennifer “Charlyn.” Even as she prepared to welcome her daughter, she strongly encouraged her husband to leave the security of Price Waterhouse to start his own accounting firm. Betty was active in the Houston community, enjoyed her time as a member of the Assistance League of Houston, but her favorite philanthropic endeavor was the Pin Oak Charity Horse show benefiting Texas Children’s Hospital… evidenced by being a leader, and top fundraiser for 15 years.

Later in life she and Terry moved to Waco, to where she reconnected with old friends and became an active member of the Harston Study Club.

Faith was core to everything Betty was. A devoted Christian, she was a longtime active member of Tallowood Baptist Church and participated in numerous Bible studies. Her faith was apparent by the way she loved… with genuine warmth and a gift for making everyone around her feel deeply loved and cared for.

Betty enjoyed traveling, reading, played a mean game of bridge, and cherished time with her many wonderful friends and family.

Betty was preceded in death by her beloved parents.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Terry; her daughter, Charlyn Holmes, and son-in-law, Rob C. Holmes; grandchildren, Ashley Taliaferro (Jamie), Allison Bailey (Cole), and Baron Holmes (Flora Kate); great-grandchildren, George, Hudson, Kate, Bobby, John Dooley; and a 6th great-granddaughter arriving in May; her sister-in-law, Sarah Lou Bracken; her nieces, Betsy Bracken, Suzanne Cox (David), Sarah Lynn Gamble (Steve), and their families.

The family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Betty’s primary caregivers, Thea and Stephanie. We love you, and you will always be family to us!

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in Betty’s honor to Texas Children’s Hospital of Houston or the Alzheimer’s Association.

The family invites you to leave a message or memory of Betty in her online "Memorial Guestbook" at www.WHBfamily.com.

Jim was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, known for his humor, kindness, and friendly spirit.

Born on November 9, 1938, in Waco to George and Ollie Mae Moen. Jim grew up in a loving family that instilled in him the values of hard work, compassion, and integrity. He carried these values throughout his life, both in his professional career and personal relationships.

A graduate of Waco High School and Baylor University, Jim dedicated almost 50 years to his company, JMA Plastics Inc., where he was known for his client care, vast knowledge of materials, and industrial application problem solving. His colleagues admired his attention to detail and his quickness to connect personally with people. Outside of work, Jim was active in the life of Waco, serving on the board of Waco Family Counseling and Children’s Services for decades. He served on the vestry of Holy Spirit Episcopal Church and was president of Waco Lions Club where he had a special place in his heart for the Texas Lion’s Camp in Kerrville.

A devoted family man, Jim's greatest joy was spending time with his high school sweetheart and wife of 60 years, Gale, who preceded him in death.

He is survived by his children, James Rockwell (Mary) Moen, Eric (Amy) Moen, his brother the Rev. Allison (Bonnie) Moen, and his grandchildren, Caroline (Cody) Seabolt, William (Taylor) Moen , Elsa (Jonathan) Lammey and Jens Moen, greatgrandchildren Grayson, Nathan, Franklin, and Elizabeth, nephews Aaron Jon (Rachel) Moen and Matthew Moen, and great niece, Annalise, who will forever cherish the memories they created together.

Johnny Michael Davis

Johnny Michael Davis, of Waco, Texas, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2026, at the age of 82. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, businessman, and adventurer who touched the lives of all who knew him.

Services will be held Friday, March 13, at 1:00 p.m. at Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey Funeral Home in Waco, with graveside service immediately following at Waco Memorial Park. Visitation will be Thursday, March 12, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey Funeral Home in Waco.

Johnny was born on January 6, 1944, in Waco, Texas, to Clifton Edward and Ruth Flanagan Davis. He was the son of two loving parents who instilled in him the values and character that would define his life. A proud Waco High Lion, class of 1962, Johnny went on to graduate from Baylor University in 1968.

Johnny had a passion for adventure and the outdoors that defined his spirit. He was an avid golfer and hunter, and his pursuits extended to snow skiing, photography, and s***t shooting. He loved sailing, fishing, and SCUBA diving with equal fervor. As a licensed private pilot, Johnny reveled in the freedom of flight and the endless horizons that opened before him. There was no challenge too great for him to tackle. Whether on the fairway, the water, or in the sky, Johnny lived life to the fullest.

At his beloved Davis Ranch at Pearl, Texas, Johnny built a cabin with his own hands in solid rock, a testament to his determination and craftsmanship. It was here that he found his sanctuary, sitting on the front deck as the sun painted the sky in brilliant hues, watching the sunset and finding solace in the quiet beauty of the Texas landscape. There was something sacred about that place for Johnny; in the stillness of evening, surrounded by the land he loved so deeply, he discovered a peace that grounded his adventurous spirit.

Johnny also built a magnificent rock home on the Middle Bosque River, constructed entirely of local fieldstone and built to last generations. He had an artist's eye for permanence, and in building with rock, he created something timeless. It was along the banks of the Middle Bosque that Johnny would sit, listening to the river's song as it flowed past. The sound of running water became his meditation. He and Harriet were married there, and now Mike and his family call it home.

As President and CEO, Johnny built on a successful enterprise started by his father with Home State County Mutual Insurance Company, expanding it into other states with Home State Insurance Group and Equity Insurance Company. Beyond the business metrics and bottom lines, Johnny's greatest pride came from the people who worked alongside him. He deeply cared for his employees, viewing them not merely as colleagues but as an extended family. He treasured the time spent with them, the relationships built over the years, and the camaraderie that defined the workplace culture he fostered. He was particularly proud that his children and grandchildren have become integral parts of the family business, ensuring his legacy will continue for generations to come. His leadership and vision transformed the company while honoring the traditions upon which it was founded. It remains one of the largest family-owned businesses in its field.

Johnny cherished his many friendships and valued his relationships with colleagues and business associates. His warmth, generosity, and engaging spirit will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. He leaves behind a legacy not just of business success, but of a life fully lived; one marked by courage, adventure, love, and a deep appreciation for both the grandeur and the quiet moments that make life meaningful.

Johnny is survived by his beloved wife of 44 years, Harriet Herring Davis, his devoted partner who embraced every adventure with grace and supported him and participated in his business endeavors. He was a proud father to his son Mike and his wife Amy, of Waco, Texas, and his daughter Jen, of Wimberley, Texas. He was the proud grandfather of Lili Huddleston and Evan Huddleston, both of Tulsa; and John Davis and William Davis, both of Waco. He is also survived by Mike and Jen's mother, Jonnilou Negri; niece, Melanie Davis, of Ft. Worth; nephew, Gary Davis, of Houston; and sister-in-law, Margaret Davis, of Ft. Worth.

Johnny was preceded in death by his parents, C.E. and Ruth Davis; his brother, Jackie Clifton Davis; and his sister, Jo Ann Davis Dixon.

Pallbearers are Gary and Melanie Davis, Mike Davis, Evan Huddleston, John Davis, and William Davis.

Honorary pallbearers are Hack Branch, Bob McEachern, Paul Skretny, Mark Reynolds, Patrick Russell, Ed Arredondo, Rudy Herzog, Larry Parks, John Foster, Jackie Durham, Lee Ann Stewart, Alonso Santacruz, and all the employees of Home State Insurance Group.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Johnny's honor to the American Heart Association, Waco Meals on Wheels, or the Animal Birth Control Clinic.

We invite you to leave a message or memory of Johnny in his “Memorial Guestbook” online at www.WHBfamily.com.
