Shirley Lou Huckeba

Shirley was baptized at age 12 in Beaumont, TX where she dedicated her life eternally to Jesus. She was a very loving and thoughtful person who was very outgoing and never met a stranger. She loved showing pictures of her family and friends to anyone she could. Shirley loved the outdoors – everything from fishing to hunting to archery. She was always willing to go on new adventures and lived life to the fullest. In earlier years, she was a member of several groups which included the Mother’s Day Club, American Study Club, bowling league, bridge club and the famous Las Senoritas De Las Rosa’s of Odessa College Drill Team, “She really liked to crack that bull whip”.

She worked at Zales and won many awards in her 20 years of service. She loved jewelry and definitely had the “eye” for the best stones and made many friends with clients and co-workers. She had a passion for birds and angels. Her favorite bird was the red cardinal. She loved her family and she was a loving sister, daughter, aunt, wife and most of all, the best mom and grandmother. She will be missed by all of her family and friends and we’ve cherished all of the time we had with her.

Shirley is survived by her brother, L.C Brasuel; daughters, Sharon Trout and husband Rick O’Donnell and Cindy Johnson and husband Rob; step daughter, Debby Huckeba McCollum; grandchildren, Chelsy Wingate and husband Ryan, Charles Christensen and husband Christopher, Harley Trout, Shauna Ayala and husband James, Lori McCollum, Kayde Hammons and husband Sherman; and great grandchildren, Jace, Lexi, Skylar, Madi, Mia, Ava, Kali and Jaden.

Along with her parents, she is also preceded in death by her sister, Doris Janet Brasuel Tucker and brother, Gerald Ray Brasuel.
