You could never find her too far away from a beloved dog, and she would be the first to tell you that she would rather be outside than in. With hard work and laughter, Werlie and Russell farmed and made a loving home for Doug and Sallie in Hartley, Texas. She could cook a wonderful noontime meal for Russell and Doug when they came in from the field, sew the most beautiful clothes for Sallie, can the best green beans and peaches, and grow the most beautiful roses. Rumor had it she could shoot off a match with a 22 shotgun! She bought fun and laughter and love to every task, whether she was snapping on the lawn in the evening, hanging clothes on the line, or visiting with a friend at the fence or on the phone. Her home was open to anyone and everyone who traveled Hartley, and only one stop, you became family. Whether it was 4 AM of 4 PM, you could find a warm hug, a soft bed, biscuits and gravy or banana pudding, and a good visit. Although gentle and warm with all those around her, she had a fierce love for family and those she loved. This was never more apparent than to her granddaughters, Robin, Melinda, and Lisa. Known to them as Grandmommie, Werlie would make a special camp for them every summer, from the time they were little and even after they were grown and married. Grandmommies house was the place to learn to cook, of quilt, take care of kittens, drive Dougs truck or Granddads tractor, play dress up, walk to the little store for candy, hide in the root cellar, hear ghost stories huddled around the furnace in your pajamas on Saturday night after your bath, have mud pie fights on the side of the house, play in the flour bin, gather eggs from the chickens, play a good game of 42, but most of all feel more loved and more special than any other place you knew. When it came to giving and loving, her heart and generosity were limitless with all who were blessed to know her.Her Granddaughters would like to thank the many angels in her life: the staff at Coon Memorial Home for the years of love, friendship, and kindness, special angel Mickey Ford, the David Ford Family, the Donald Ford Family, Bobbie Howell, Judi Trayler, Nelda Herring, Joyce Chisum, Dalhart Church of Christ, Dalhart Hospice, Dalhart Hospital, Dr. Thetford, and all the angels that unseen by us helped make he life more rich and joyful.We are forever grateful and humbled by your generosity.Tell Me Your Dream by Imogene Gilbert(a poem from Sallies scrapbook)Did you have a dream last nightWell, I had one too.Mine was very beautiful, because it was of you.I saw a home in Texas-Where beautiful bluebonnets grow-With a big white fence, and children;But thats every girls dream, I know.I dreamed of finding happinessWhere friends are true and kind.Come, dear, and tell me your dreamIve already told you mine.
