Margaret Elizabeth Luckie Herring ODESSA — Margaret, Mom to three sons and MawMaw to three grandchildren, has triumphed over pain and sorrow. Freed from the burden of a harrowing struggle, she has flown with the joy of the just and good into the waiting arms of her husband, Omar; and her parents; brother; and sister. They have long awaited her arrival and now, at long last, may once again savor her apricot fried pies. A lifelong Methodist, Margaret attended her church faithfully until recent years when illnesses combined to preclude her doing so. Her bible studies, with her years of schoolteaching at various levels, enabled her to live under, and to teach by example, the tenet she unfailingly lived by, as expressed in St. Luke, Chapter 6, Verse 38: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Margaret’s sons wish to thank everyone who has stopped by with gifts and best wishes, both during her struggle and following her departure. All your kindness touches us deeply. To the competent and caring staff of Seabury Center and Odyssey Healthcare we extend our gratitude for your attention to our Mom during her last months. Your professionalism and ministrations made our Mom’s journey, and our transition, bearable. Margaret is survived by her three sons, Mack Herring, Jack Herring and David Herring, all of Odessa.

Nelda Scott ODESSA — Our precious wife, mother, daughter, sister, mother-in-law, Grammy and friend went home to be with the Lord. Words can not express our deep sorrow at the void left behind, but we rejoice knowing that she is home — right where she has always wanted to be. Her life was spent serving others, just as Christ taught. Those who knew her, knew her kindness, compassion, dedication, loyalty and love. She never hesitated to help when she could. She loved gardening and sewing, but most of all she loved her friends and family. Her husband, Terry, of 38 years was the love of her life, her high school sweetheart and a true gift from God. She loved her daughters, Cristy Diana Batte and Kelly Deanne Weaver. Nothing made her happier than spending time with her children and their families. Her blessed grandchildren were an endless source of pleasure for her. She was the best Grammy ever! Her passionate love for family spurred her to volunteer her time at Birthright, an organization dedicated to protecting the unborn. She gave of her time freely, always willing to listen and pray. She was a true prayer warrior on behalf of all who asked and many who did not. Numerous lives were touched and changed by her prayers. She loved her church and always served graciously in whatever way was needed. She had friends and loved ones too numerous to count. Each one is immensely better for having known her. Her joy was contagious. She was a pillar of strength and wisdom. Her Godly wisdom far exceeded her years and flowed from the hours she spent in prayer and study. She was an inspiration to all who were blessed to know her and more than anything she wanted people to know and love her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She is survived by a loving family: her faithful husband Terry and cherished daughters Cristy Batte and Kelly Weaver. She forever changed the stereotypical definition of mother-in-law. Her two sons-in-law, Blake Batte and Dan Weaver, not only loved her but admired her as well. Those who called her Grammy are Alix and Abby Batte and Nikita and Nate Weaver. She was a devoted daughter to Floyd Ball and supportive sister to Edgar Ball. She is rejoicing in heaven with her Mother, Dorothy Ball.
