My uncle Tommy married his first wife, Margret Hinton, on November 24, 1975, in Brevard, Florida. Together they had two children.

Thomas Eugene Wegley Jr

1976–

James Ray Wegley
1979–

Benny married his first wife, Karen Marie Wegley, on May 2, 1970. Together, they had three daughters. Melody, Tracy, and April. They would divorce on April 7, 1977.

In 1979, when he was 27, he had a fourth child, his only son, Nathaniel Wayne Richardson, with Cindy Walvoor, who was 15 or 16 at the time.

He married Carol J. Smith sometime around 1987. They had no children.

He played in bands his entire life. Mostly the guitar, but he also sang. He played in many local bands throughout the course of his life. Later, as his arthritis progressed, he taught himself the keyboard.

My uncle Raymon married Catherine Anne Burke on April 17, 1974, in Fannin, Texas. Together, they had two children, Shawn Dale (1975) and Jeremy Edward (1978).

Raymond Wegley Jr. was buried in Bonham, Texas. He was buried next to his wife, who died on June 11, 2017.

Raymond Edward Wegley Junior, age 68, passed away on February 12, 2021, due to kidney failure. He was born December 11, 1952, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma to Raymond and Elsie Wegley. He married his longtime friend and love, Catherine Anne Burk, in April of 1974 who preceded him in death in 2017.

His life was a living example of Ephesians 4:32 — “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.”

Raymond is survived by three siblings, Thomas Eugene, Karen Marie, and Robert Thomas, as well as his sons Shawn Dale, and his wife, and Jeremy Edward, his beloved grandchildren, his many nephews and nieces, and great-nephews and nieces.

He had a wonderful life and will be missed by many.

Ben Donald Price was born in what was then known as Grayson, in Jefferson county. However today the town is known as Waurika, Oklahoma.

His social security number was 526-24-0943, which can be found on the on the US Social Security Applications and Claims Index.

He was married to Elwynne May Lynell on June 4, 1949. They were very big into the Baptist church.

He died at the age of 79 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and was buried at the Resurrection Memorial Cemetery in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. (find a grave page) His exact date of death was April 23, 2004. That means he died just a week after his 79th birthday.

He was born on July 27, 1927, in Waurika, Oklahoma.

His father was Benjamin Franklin Price and his mother was Ethel Ann Hopson.

His wife was Dorothy J Richardson. Apparently, she was no relation to us, it was just a crazy coincidence that she had the Richardson name. 🙂

They had a total of 4 children, Glen Jr, Gloria Jean, Freddy Dan and Joey.

Freddy Dan died on January 18, 2018. He had a stroke about 3 years prior and a friend of his had been taking care of him. Glen Jr. passed away about two years prior to that so about 2016 and that meant as of January of 2018 only Gloria Jean who they called sissy was still alive. Her family thought that she was still living somewhere in Mexico but know little else about her whereabouts.

He died of a cardiac arrest, due in part to his morbid obesity on August 3, 1982. His death certificate also tells us that he was a wrecker driver in Fort Worth, Texas. He was 55 years old. (Find a grave link)

At one time he lived at 2411 Warwick Ave, Fort Worth, TX, 76106-7557 and at another time his recorded address was 2226 Robinwood Dr, Fort Worth, TX, 76111-5117.

His photos are obvious shots of him in the Navy. His death certificate also states that at some time he was in the US Armed Forces. My grandmother (his younger sister), Alice Joann Price thought he went into the US Navy in 1941, but I knew that couldn’t have been right since then he was only 14. I found it though on his US Department of Veteran Affairs Death File.

He was in the Navy. He enlisted on November 29, 1944. He was released on May 11, 1946.

She was born on June 30, 1935, in Waurika, Oklahoma, and she died on July 8, 2020, in Houston, Texas, in the nursing home her daughter (Joanna) placed her in when she was unable to care for herself. She died just one month after her 85th birthday.

I don’t know the date she married her next husband, who was Jean Noel Cash. She had 3 kids, he had 3 kids – it was like a real-life Brady Bunch. They would stay married until he died on July 14, 1996.

They had no children of their own, but again, with 6 kids between them, they had more than their hands full.

Alice Joann Price currently lives with her husband, Fred Smith, in Conroe, Texas.  Alice moved to Houston, Texas, from Oklahoma to live with her granddaughter, Tracy Joann Richardson (me), after the death of her husband, Jean Noel Cash.  It was at that time that she was introduced to Fred Smith.  Our housekeeper had a family who lived in Conroe near Fred, who was widowed.  They knew he was seeing a friend and/or travel companion of his own age, so Debbie introduced them, and they have been inseparable ever since.

I think this picture was from Thanksgiving 2012. Pictured from left to right ….
