Chong Won Locklear

She was born in Gyeonggi-do, Korea in 1936. She grew up in Seoul and married a soldier, Howard, in 1963. She moved to the states where she became a naturalized citizen in Georgia in 1970. She and Howard had a daughter and moved to Evant, Texas, where they raised her.

Chong was preceded in death by her husband, Howard Locklear, and is survived by her daughter Donna Hernandez (husband Frank), grandson Chris Henager (wife Jennifer), great-granddaughters, Taylor and Ashlee Henager, and grandson Zachary Henager (wife Marketa) and son.

Nanny, as she was well known, loved her family fiercely. She was very involved in her daughter’s, grandson’s, and great granddaughters’ activities even after not being able to attend in person. She required detailed updates of sporting events, music performances, and lots of pictures! She always had a great smile and laugh that was contagious.

A funeral service is scheduled on Friday, July 12, 2024 at Taylor’s Valley Baptist Church, 2497 W. Farm To Market 93, Temple, Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Reach Campaign at Taylor’s Valley Baptist Church would be greatly appreciated.
