Albert "Sid" Sidney Childs

Sid is preceded in death by his parents Henry Jay Marcus Childs and Clara Jane Morehead Childs; his loving wife Bobbie Jean Lummus Childs; ten siblings Billie Edwin, Hugh Jay, Henry Ray, Ruth Evelyn Moore, Flossy Gene Childs, Alva Dale, Roy Bowden, Lonnie Harold, Vanita Clara Baird, and Virginia Grace Jackson; and two grandchildren Austin Jay Childs and Brigett Rae Yurattas-Childs.

He is survived by his three children Sylvia Meek (Billy McCann), Gail (James) Burnett, and Tommy (Elizabeth) Childs; grandchildren Lisa (Kevin) Owens, Marci (Casey) Camara, Chris (Rose) Meek, and Katelyn Childs; and five great grandchildren Tyler Richardson, Blaine Richardson, Jayden Childs, Cooper Camara, and Amelia Meek.

Sid was raised and educated in Fairfield; after graduating high school he enlisted in the United States Army and began his 45 year-long career serving his country. He married Bobbie Jean Lummus on February 3, 1950 and they were married for 63 years before her passing in 2013. He was a man after the American Dream—Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness; Sid’s happiness lived within his family. He would do anything for the ones he loved, without hesitation. In his free time, Sid enjoyed watching Westerns and spending time with his grandchildren—they were his world. He was also an avid fan of the Houston Pro Teams and the University of Houston.

Visitation for Sid will be held Wednesday, April 13, 2022 from 5:00-8:00 PM at Forest Park East Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held Thursday, April 14, at 11:00 AM at the funeral home. Burial will take place in Forest Park East Cemetery.

Serving as pallbearers are Chris Meek, Blaine Richardson, James Burnett, Caelan Brister, Wayne Kelly and Randy Brister.
