tivities.
She was a mehttfer of First
United Methodist Church in
DeLeon and taught children's
Sunday School classes and
headed up Vacation Bible
School for many years. She
loved the Breath of Life praise
service there, and was always
in attendance when health did
not prevent it.
Her proudest accomplish-
ment was being the mother of
Robby and Clint. She was al-
ways involved in their school
activities. She loved being part
of their lives and being a friend
to their friends.
She is survived by her hus-
band, James, of DeLeon; her
two sons, Robby of Austin and
Clint of Dallas; and by her
brother, Ron Bledsoe of Lex-
ington, Oklahoma. She is also
survived by many aunts,

They say give it time. But for people who suffer from
chronic wounds, sometimes, time needs a little help.
Every year, non-healing wound conditions affect
millions of Americans. Such wounds may lead to life-
threatening infections, disability and amputations.
The Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Center
provides comprehensive management for your wound while
your primary physician continues to treat the underlying
condition and provide for your overall care.
If you or someone you know is suffering from a non-
healing wound, have your primary physician make a
referral to the Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine
Center or for more information, call 325.649.3640.
