Tommie married James Matlock on June 17, 1955, in Channelview, TX. They lived in San Jacinto for a while then moved to Porter, TX where they lived for several years. In 1961 they bought a farm in Garrison, TX with the money from a GI Bill. They slowly built their house and lived there together until James passed in May of 2002. She did a little bit of everything and had several titles but her most loved ones were Mom, Granny and Granny Matlock.
