Jorge Treviño Martínez

Jorge Treviño Martínez, born on July 12, 1964, in Sabinas Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Mexico, to Bernabe Treviño Cantù and Dolores Treviño Martínez, passed from this life leaving behind a legacy of love, strength, devotion, and faith.

Jorge was a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence brought warmth and guidance to everyone who knew him. He carried himself with quiet strength and a generous heart, always willing to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement. His love for his family was the foundation of his life, and he took great pride in caring for and providing for those he loved.

Born and raised in Sabinas Hidalgo, Jorge carried with him the values of hard work, faith, loyalty, and integrity throughout his life. Whether through his work, his friendships, or his time spent with family, he made a lasting impact that will not be forgotten.

He is survived by his loving family: wife, Ivonne; three sons, Jorge, Jahaziel, and Abdiel Treviño; eight brothers and sisters, Irma, Esther, Guadalupe, Celestina, Jesus, Feliciana, David, and Mario Treviño, all who will continue to honor his memory by living out the lessons he taught them: to love deeply, work honestly, and remain strong in the face of adversity with their faith in Jesus Christ whom Jorge loved as his Lord and Savior.

Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we find comfort in knowing that his love remains with us always. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the family he cherished.

May he rest eternally in the arms of Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior.

Carol McGuire

Carol McGuire, 87, of Waco, TX passed away on February 20, just two days shy of her eighty-eighth birthday. The funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., on Wednesday, March 4, at OakCrest Funeral Home with visitation at 1:00 p.m. Private burial will be at a later date.

Born Carol Sue Bertram on February 22, 1938 in Lamesa, Texas to Thomas and Montez Bertram, she was raised in Hobbs, NM, the oldest of four siblings. Carol attended college at McMurry University in Abilene, singing in the college choir, the Chanters. While home on summer break she met her future husband, Lewis, at a church ice cream social hosted by her parents.

Carol and Lewis were married on August 29, 1958. During that same month she graduated with a teaching degree and started her first teaching job in Sundown, TX. After several moves, a job opportunity in 1965 led to a move from Hearne to Waco where the couple would remain.

Her daughters, Susan (born 1967) and Angela (born 1968), occupied much of her time, in addition to her interests in sewing, gardening, and needlework. Carol loved music: playing it, listening to it, singing it. This was evident by the array of instruments, records, tapes, and CD’s that would eventually fill the McGuire house. Once the girls started school, Carol opened Lake Air Sheet Music Sales inside of Holze Music. She would remain in business until 1997, when her location in the Lake Air Mall closed. She finished her career at the Waco Center for Youth.

Once retired, Carol and Lewis began their traveling years, going on cruises, train journeys, and pulling a camper to visit 49 of the 50 states in the USA. Never liking to be idle, Carol was active in many clubs, organizations, and social groups. Through the years she was involved with United Methodist Women, Beta Sigma Phi, Meals on Wheels, Altrusa, Kountry Kampers, Stardust Dance Club, among others. She loved games and played Bunco monthly and Hand and Foot Canasta twice a week.

Carol was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Lewis; her parents, Thomas and Montez Bertram; and brother, Jerral Bertram. Left to cherish her memory are daughters, Susan (Gordon) and Angie (Jamie); grandsons, Jordan, Connor, Douglas, and Samuel; sisters, Beverly and Elaine; sister-in-law, Donna; and several nieces and nephews.

Carol Kolb

Carol Mae Riley Kolb, age 90, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2026, at 12:47 p.m., with her family by her side.

Carol was born on April 11, 1935, in Sumner County, Kansas, to Elmer Edward Riley and Lillian Madge Arnold Riley. She was the seventh of nine children. She was baptized and confirmed at South Haven Methodist Church in South Haven, Kansas, beginning a lifelong devotion to her faith that would guide every season of her life.

On March 17, 1957, she married Gottfried “Jeff” John Kolb at the Methodist Church in South Haven, Kansas. Their marriage was a testament to love, faith, and lifelong devotion. Together they built a beautiful life and were blessed with three daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who brought her immeasurable joy.

As a military wife at James Connally Air Force Base, Carol embraced military life with energy and enthusiasm. She devoted herself to supporting her family and serving her community, forming lifelong friendships along the way. When their time in the Air Force concluded, Carol and Jeff returned to Waco, Texas, the place they proudly called home.

In Waco, Carol continued her life of service. She worked as a radiology technician at Waco Radiological Clinic and later at the VA Hospital. Her faith remained central to her life as an active member of Christ Lutheran Church and later Peace Lutheran Church, where she cherished her Joy Group and many dear friends.

Carol was deeply involved in her community through the Waco Federation Women’s Club, Beta Sigma Phi, Red Hats, Kountry Kampers, Meals on Wheels, and countless social groups. She loved people and had a gift for bringing them together.

She especially loved cards — Canasta, Bunco, Manipulation, Bridge, Pinochle, Hand & Foot, Uno, Left, Right, Center, and many more. Everyone knew her one firm rule: “Do not schedule any appointments or engagements on my card days… or hair day.” Card days were sacred; with her sharp wit and competitive spirit, she kept everyone on their toes.

Carol was known for her kindness, strength, humor, generosity, unwavering faith, and resilience. She cherished being a mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her home was always welcoming, her table often full, and her life rich with connection.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jeff, on February 20, 2011, as well as her parents and several siblings.

She is survived by her daughters, Leann Kolb Williams (Shap), Jean Kolb Phillips (Mark), and Cynthia Kolb Rice (Millard); her grandchildren, Summer Tappmeyer Collins (Adam), Katharine Williams Nunley (Nick), Caroline Williams, Whitney Phillips (Tiffany), Spencer Phillips, Kelly Phillips, Ariana Rice, and Alessandra Rice; and her great-grandchildren, Claire Nunley, Campbell Nunley, Joseph Phillips, Emily Phillips, Ian Phillips, and Adelyn Phillips; and her youngest brother, Terry D. Riley.

Visitation will be held at OakCrest Funeral Home in Waco, Texas, on February 20, 2026, from 5:00–7:00 p.m.

The funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2026, at OakCrest in the Chapel, officiated by Pastor Peter Kolb of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Waco. Burial will follow at Waco Memorial Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, Peace Lutheran Church and the Waco Federation Women’s Club in her honor. Her family expresses profound gratitude to the many friends and loved ones who enriched Carol’s life with faith, friendship, and laughter. Her legacy of love, devotion, and fiercely protected card days will live on in all who knew her. And if heaven has a card table, she is surely already seated — right on time for the 1:00 p.m. game.
