Hallie Lucile Fagan Snider joined her Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 11, 2014. She was born on April 14, 1917 to Fredrick Wheeler Fagan and Zilpha Putnam Fagan on the Fagan Ranch in Refugio County Texas. The Fagans were a pioneer family in Refugio and Victoria Counties during the early 1800 settlement of this area and received a Spanish Land Grant to settle here. Her parents and all of her siblings and their spouses preceded her in death as well as her spouses, Boyd Forehand and T.H. Snider; two children, Sul Ross Forehand and Martha Faye Forehand. Surviving are her son, Roger Fagan and his wife Connie of Tivoli, Texas and her daughter, Ann Fagan Cook and husband Larry Cook of Shamrock, Texas; her grandsons, Reagan Fagan and his wife Michelle of Del Rio, Texas, and Rory Fagan of Houston, Texas; great-grandchildren Kathryn, Jenna and Conner Fagan of San Angelo, Texas. Her granddaughter Suzie Ross and husband Jeff of Victoria Texas, and grandsons Ross Crews and wife Loraine of Rogers, Texas, and Geoffrey Hooper of Shamrock, Texas. Her great-granddaughters, Nicole Mora and husband David of Corpus Christi Texas, Elise Pittman and husband Clifton of Tivoli, Texas, Candice Eixman and her husband Jered of Rogers, Texas and Casey Crews of Rogers, Texas as well as great-great granddaughter

Kaylee Elizabeth Mora of Corpus Christi, Texas and Annabelle Fagan of San Angelo, Texas. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews and their families. Lucile was always involved in projects to further the history of the Coastal Bend of Texas as well as Refugio County and the families of these areas. She has written several books about this as well as numerous family history books for people of this area. She (as well as her parents before her) has always been able to lend a helping hand for those she knew who were having a difficult time in their life. She was named Citizen of the Year

in Refugio County 2005 and Citizen of the Year for the Coastal Bend. She loved her family and loved making quilts for them at which she was an expert.

She was a great supporter of the Refugio County Fair and has hundreds of ribbons and plaques to represent her wins. She was the gatherer of family history information for the Fagan and Putnam families which she carefully cataloged for future reference. She also collected and preserved items from families and places throughout the area. There is a small personal museum located at the ranch. She will be greatly missed by many throughout the area.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2014 at the First Presbyterian Church in Tivoli, Texas at 10:00 a.m. with Pastor David Parks and Pastor Cyndi Meyers officiating. A private family burial will be held at the Tivoli Cemetery, Tivoli, Texas.
