V. Mamie Elizabeth Price
Mamie was a soft spoken, gentile woman
remembered for her kindness. She was detailed
orientated in her house cleaning and stored everything in moth balls. After her husband, DeLaine passed away in
1964 she later married a man named Leo Armstrong. They had no children of their own. After he passed, she lived alone. Mamie lived north of Houston in The Woodlands
near her daughter Sandra. Mamie
Armstrong developed Alzheimer’s disease, and for a time lived in an assisted
living apartment until she passed away at the age of 88 years old.
VI. Linda Lucile Townsend
Like her mother, Linda was a quiet
spoken person, but had an outgoing personality.
After she married Bob Snow, the responsibility and pressures of
motherhood gave rise to a depression she did not manage well; weight gain and alcoholism
developed. After an affair was revealed,
Bob sought a divorce. Linda’s drinking
lead to drug addiction, and the loss of her two sons. Tracy and David were taken by The State of
Texas, and they were placed in the Buckner’s Home for Boys in Dallas. Bob remarried, and legally gained full
custody of his sons.
Linda’s depression and drug abuse lead to a
passion charge, and a 10 year prison sentence in Gatesville. After her release, she attended Alcohol
Anonyms meetings where she met Gerald Lee Thomas, who also struggled with
issues. The hit it off and were shortly
married. Linda went to trade school and
successfully completed a Cosmetology license becoming a hair stylist for a
time. She was also able to reconnect
with her two adult sons, and rebuild a relationship with them.
Gerald and Linda Thomas never had children
of their own. They lived in Copperas
Cove, Texas for several years, and later moved to Loogootee, Indiana where
Gerald got a job “farming turkeys”.
Earlier years of IV drug abuse took its toll as Linda suffered the
consequences of having Hepatics C. She
passed away from it worsening complications at the age of 58 years old.
