Mother's Day Tribute by Joan Garrett

May 11, 2020 - Women who are mothers, step-mothers, grandmothers, god-mothers, adopted mothers, you all deserve to be honored for Mothers Day. Articles have been written for the ones I paid tribute to this week, and now my comforting words go out to everyone of the Mothers in the community. Please continue to be the mother to care for your children and provide service to the community and churches. May your life be prosperous and healthy for many years in the future.

Mother's Day Spotlight: Kathy Mosby and Rhonda Page

May 9, 2020 - Kathy Mosby, a graduate of Daniels High School in the early 60s, is an ambitious lady. She moved to Houston and worked at one of the oil and gas companies. After retirement, she became a fashion consultant and held many fashion shows for organizations as well as owned a boutique for women. Wanting to serve her community in her own caring ways, she opened her first senior assisted living home, which has now grown into several homes today. Kathy, known by hometown people as Sue Ann Eaden, has been a caring person as well as mother and grandmother.

A Special Aunt

May 8, 2020 - I am sure everyone has a special aunt to brag on this week of Mother’s Day. I will do the same for my Aunt Hazel Garrett Brown. Auntie has reached that Golden Old Age where the family must be careful with her. I think she is 90 years old. She is the only child remaining of Edgar and Sally Ann Garrett who were prominent citizens of Center and members of St. Paul Church before their demise. I always wanted to be like my Aunt Hazel. She worked as a hairdresser in a shop in Center for many years before moving to Longview Texas after her marriage to Prentiss Brown.

The Swindell Triplets

May 7, 2020 - Known as three Ds, Donna, Dedra and Dadra have been active most of their lives. They were young in Center when their mother passed away. They were raised by their dad and by other siblings assisting in Houston. These three grew up to be fine women. They were active in sports while in school and beyond even learning how to ride motorcycles. The three went into the cosmetology business where they were successful for many years, winning many awards while attending national shows. Many relatives have joined them in this environment.
