Ginger Pace, 78, of
Amarillo and fonnerly of
Conroe and Highlands,
passed away on May 21,
2019.
Ginger was born on
January 21, 1941 to J.R.
and Mildred Eddings. She
was married to Jerry Don
Pace for 47 years until he
passed away in 2007.
Ginger loved the Lord
and walked with Him her
whole life. She made life-
long friendships through
Bible Study Fellowship
and enjoyed teaching
Sunday school to young
children. She was a gifted
artist and taught art in the
public school system for
over 30 years.
In her later years, she
and her daughter led kids’
art classes out of their
home art studio. The art
students looked forward
to Mrs. Pace’s homemade
chocolate chip cookies as
much as the art activities.
She partnered with her
friend Bobbie Russell and
illustrated “The Royal
Attributes of God” which
was translated into sever-
al languages.
Ginger was most proud
of her six grandchildren
who called her Gran. She
always found ways to
bless and support them.

man.
In high school, he
quickly rose to stardom
on the football field. They
called him, at one point,
“The Sophomore Sensa-
tion.” It was no different
for him on the track as a
sprinter and middle-dis-
tance runner.
Oscar learned true love
by becoming a father to
his only daughter Megan
Garcia-Dow; she was the
love of his life.
Oscar found com-
fort and joy in daily life
spending time outdoors
with family and friends.
Amy one who joined him
on a fishing or a hunting
trip was lucky enough to
see his passion and light
shine through.
Oscar loved his family,
and his family loved him
unconditionally. His lega-
cy will live on through his
strength, selflessness and
commitment to his family.
He is greatly missed
by his daughter Megan
were blessed with the first
of their four children.
After graduating from
UT with a Degree in Busi-
ness, Mary and Doug re-
turned to Baytown where
Doug went to work for
Citizens Bank & Trust
Co. Doug remained in
banking for over 50 years
serving as an officer and/
or director of several fi-
nancial institutions in-
cluding Citizens of Texas
Savings and Loan where
he was President. He was
also a Rotarian for many
years.
Doug was a long-time
member of the First Chris-
tian Church. For many
years, Doug and Mary
raised their young family
a block from the church.
Doug taught a very pop-
ular high school Sunday
School class where there
was some discussion of
Gander football in addi-
tion to the Bible.
Like his father, Doug
loved sports. In addition
to basketball, Doug was
an avid golfer and loved
playing at Goose Creek
Country Club as well as
other courses around the
world. Doug also loved
hunting and fishing.
He was famous for his
post-morning hunt bloody
mary’s and poached eggs
at the family ranch in
South Texas.
He equally loved tell-
ing and listening to stories
with family and friends
around the campfire while
enjoying a cocktail or
two. Doug was a peo-
ple-person, and he loved
to entertain.
He was a long-time
Longhorn season ticket
holder and spent many
fall weekends traveling
to Austin to cheer on his
favorite team. As Doug
grew older, he was less
able to participate or at-
tend sporting events, but
this did not dampen his
enthusiasm. There was al-
ways a daily call from one
of his children or grand-
children to let him know
which one of his favorite
teams were playing that
day and on what channel.
As much as he loved
sports, Doug’s true pas-
sion was his family. He
was affectionately named
(Daddy Doug) by his
grandchildren. All those
close to him whether they
were family or not loving-
ly referred to him as Dad-
dy Doug. He was never
reserved about his feel-
ings toward his beloved
family. There was never
a family get together that
he would not get tears in
his eyes and profess how
much he loved each and
every one of them and
how very proud he was of
his family.

On May 18, 2019,
Douglas Welburn Stewart
of Baytown, Texas passed
away peacefully at home
with his wife of 71 years,
Mary Echols Stewart, by
his side. Doug was born
in Liberty Hill, Texas
on September 6, 1925 to
Bertie Andrew (B.A.) and
Eula Stewart.
They soon moved
to Goose Creek, Tex-
as where Bertie went to
work for Humble Oil and
Refining, and he and Eula
began raising their family.
Doug was a gifted ath-
lete and a star player on
the Robert E. Lee High
School basketball team.
He received scholarships
to play basketball from
all of the Southwest Con-
ference schools - except
from The University of
Texas.
Doug had always
dreamed of playing for
UT and decided to forego
those scholarships and re-
alized his dream by walk-
ing on at Texas. Through
hard work and dedication,
he earned a spot and a
scholarship on the 1943-
44 Longhorn basketball
team. This began Doug’s
life- long connection to
The University of Texas.
After basketball season
was over, Doug enlist-
ed in the Navy where he
served on LST-879 in the
Pacific Theater and par-
ticipated in the invasion
of Okinawa.
After the war, Doug
returned to Goose Creek.
One day, he saw the most
beautiful girl he had ever
seen walking down the
street. It was love at first
sight. He turned to his
friend and said, “I am go-
ing to marry her.” They
soon met and began to
date. Doug proposed to
Mary at the Texas vs.
Oklahoma football game
in Dallas, Texas. They
were married on Decem-
ber 21, 1947. This was the
beginning of a truly beau-
tiful marriage.
For the next 71 years,
they were inseparable.
Newly married and hav-
ing served several years
in the Navy, Doug fo-
cused on his studies at
UT. Soon Mary and Doug
Pamela was born in
Natchez, Mississippi
and raised in Fayette,
Mississippi. She attend-
ed schools in Jefferson
County graduating in the
class of 1993.
Pamela decided to re-
locate to Baytown, Texas
where she resided until
the date of her departure.
Pamela got joy from help-
ing others and putting
smiles on people’s face.
She worked for 20 years
as a Unit Coordinator
at San Jacinto Method-
ist Hospital in Baytown,
Texas where she was able
to satisfy her need to help
and give back to her com-
munity until her health
failed. She was very lov-
ing and family oriented.
Her children and grand-
children were her world
and she was always proud
to be their mother. She
also had a love for ani-
mals, especially her dog,
Chi-Chi.
On May 13, 2019,
Pamela was violently tak-
en from us. However, in
return, she was reunited
with her mother Helen
Ruth Frye-Turner.
