Wesley Thomas Jennings

Wesley Thomas Jennings (Weso) was born February 26, 1961, and passed away with a smile in his home telling a story on November 15, 2025, at the age of 64. He was born in Beeville, Texas, to Betty Jean (Emmons) Jennings and Thomas (Tom) Franklin Jennings. Wesley started first grade in Mathis and then moved to George West where he finished his education.

Wesley was a lifelong cowboy, fluent in Spanish, an avid welder, hunter, camp cook, jack of all trades, and storyteller.

Growing up, he helped his dad, Tom Jennings, work cattle for the Dougherty Ranch. Wesley lived in Dilley, Texas, where he owned Jennings Feed Store and Trailer Sales. That is where he met his soulmate, Monte Del. He sweet talked Monte Del (Varnon) Jennings into being his partner on July 1, 1994. He brought her home to George West to be closer to family. Wesley was a natural cowboy, avid welder, gauger, and hunter. He later became a wonderful camp cook and grand storyteller.

Wesley and Monte, along with their crews, built many miles of barbed wire and deer fence with Encino Fence Service. For the last 18 years, Wesley and Monte enjoyed their time together shredding local ranches and right of ways with WM Tractor Service.

It brought Wesley great joy to teach many young kids how to rope, ride a horse, work cattle, c**n and hog hunt, skin a deer, weld, build fence, and build metal barns. Those kids were family to him, and teaching sparked his love of storytelling and cooking, which brought together many family and friends.

Wesley was preceded in death by his infant brother, Keith Wayne Jennings, who passed in December 1963; his brother-in-law, Richard Wayne Otto, in May 1996; and his parents, Thomas (Tom) Franklin Jennings in May 2020, and Betty Jean (Emmons) Jennings in October 2022.

Wesley is survived by his wife of 31 years, Monte Del (Varnon) Jennings; and his stepchildren, Christine Elizabeth (Michael) DuBose, and Clayton Thomas (Stacey) Overstreet. He is also survived by his sisters, Darlene Denise (Rusty) Oxford, and Sherri Lynn (Bubba) Nelson.

He was blessed with his granddaughters, Saeleigh and Shambryn DuBose; his nephews and nieces, Brandon (Mandy) Oxford, Sherry Oxford (Bubba) Beasley, Cody Thomas (Kayce) Oxford, Byron Robert (Jennifer) Oxford, Kyle Wayne (Jena) Otto, and Peyton (Julio) Coronado; and his great-nieces and great-nephews, Peyton Oxford, Hadley Oxford, Abcde (Abby) Kinkade, Cutter Beasley, Cale Thomas Oxford, Kullen Raye Oxford, Ryleigh Nelson, Henley Teal Oxford, and Blane Russell Oxford, along with many friends he considered family.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at Brush Country Cowboy Church. The funeral service will be conducted at 10:30 AM, Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at Brush Country Cowboy Church in George West. Burial will follow at George West Cemetery.

A reception and meal will follow funeral services on Wednesday at Brush Country Cowboy Church in George West.

Serving as pallbearers will be Kyle Brown, Brandon Oxford, Cody Oxford, Byron Oxford, Kyle Otto, Heath Gonzales, Toby Holland, and Earl Fischer.

Honorary pallbearers will be Wayne Geffert, Robert Schuford, Matt Martin, Charlie Snider, Bill Poole, Doug Strause, Robert Fox, Tom Bartlett and Jim Cochran.

Dorothy was born January 29, 1932, in Karnes County to John Wesley Walker and Ruby Inez (Lee) Walker. She was a high school graduate who dedicated her life to her family and her passions.

Three children were born to this union. After Russell’s death, she married Wayne Isaacks in Normanna in 2002.

Her love for design was reflected not only in her professional career as an interior designer but also in the warmth of her home, where she skillfully transformed spaces to create inviting atmospheres for family and friends. Her faith was an integral part of her life; she actively attended Normanna Baptist Church, where she found community and fellowship.

In addition to her spiritual pursuits, Dorothy had a rich array of hobbies that included cooking, sewing and crocheting. She cherished the moments spent playing games and visiting with her family and friends, creating lasting memories that would be treasured by all who knew her.

She was the proud mother of two daughters, Deborah (Bill) Kent and Deanna Morphew, both of Stockdale. Her family continued to grow, and she became the proud grandmother to eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson, who brought her much joy.

Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Friday, November 14, at Galloway & Sons Funeral Home in Beeville with a funeral service at 12 o’clock. Brother Kenneth Fox will officiate.

Dorothy will be buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Waco at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18.

Ann Sharon (Colle) Coquat

Ann Sharon (Colle) Coquat, 89, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 7, 2025, in New Ibera, Louisiana, just days shy of her 90th birthday.

Ann was born in San Antonio, Texas on November 18, 1935, to the late Ernest Colle and Lucille (Troell) Colle. In September of 1954, Ann married Jerry Coquat, the love of her life, and together they built a beautiful family. Jerry’s career in the oilfield brought them to Alice, Texas in 1959, where they raised their three children. The family's journey took them to Morgan City, Louisiana, before finally settling in New Iberia in 1976, where they remained.

Ann’s education began at Texas A&I University, now Texas A&M at Kingsville, where she nurtured the seeds of her lifelong dedication to teaching. She began her career as a substitute teacher at NISH and in Grand Marais, eventually transitioning into a full-time kindergarten teacher at Coteau Elementary, then Jefferson Island Elementary, from where she retired. Her warmth, patience and passion for shaping young minds left a lasting impact on countless students who were fortunate enough to experience her care and guidance.

Ann found joy in flower gardening, often nurturing her plants as she nurtured her family. In the earlier days with Jerry, she dabbled in vegetable gardening, fostering a connection to the land that brought them sustenance and joy. She cherished every moment spent with family and friends, cultivating relationships that blossomed as beautifully as her garden.

In addition to her parents, Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jerry Coquat; and a brother, Frank Colle.

Mrs. Coquat is survived by three children, Michael Coquat, Curtis Coquat (Gaye Trimble Coquat) and Lucy Coquat Freyou (Jeffery Freyou), all of New Iberia; sister, Carol Colle Swisher of Alice, Texas; grandchildren, Hannah Coquat, Katie Boudoin, Heath Freyou and Lee Freyou; and great-grandchildren, Dawsyn Boudoin, Emmett Boudoin and Laurel Freyou.

Visitation will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, November 12, at Galloway & Sons Funeral Home in Three Rivers followed by a graveside service at 2:30 p.m. at Oakville Cemetery in Oakville, Texas where she will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband, Jerry.

Pallbearers will be Travis Colle, Clint Colle, Ernie Colle, Heath Freyou, Lee Freyou and William Swisher.

Ann will be remembered not only for her accomplishments in education but also for the profound kindness and love she exuded throughout her life. May she rest in peace.
