James
Andrew Dailey, 80, died in a Beaumont hospice after a battle
with an autoimmune disease and then bladder cancer. He was born
in Houston on May 17, 1938, the first of five children to Dr.
James Emerson Dailey and Catherine Igoe Dailey. He enjoyed an
idyllic childhood on Reba Drive where lifelong friendships were
formed.
Jim
graduated from St. Thomas High School, and from Texas A&M
University eleven years later. In between he had many
adventures, including studies at Notre Dame, surveying in
Alaska, service in the United States Navy Pacific Fleet, and a

classmate, Maggie Bains, introduced Jim to his future wife,
Melanie Coburn.

Wildlife Department as a marine biologist. Joyous to rise each
morning, he continued for 29 years, helping to monitor Matagorda
Bay’s ecosystem. Jim remained in Palacios where together with
his wife, Melanie, they raised their children, regularly
attended St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, supported community and
school activities, and enjoyed lifelong friendships. Later in his career, Jim helped pioneer saltwater fly fishing on the middle Texas coast, often speaking on his passion around the state. His joy and enthusiasm attracted many others to the sport, and to revere all forms of wildlife around Texas.

was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers-in-law Sam
Thomson, Paul Stallings and Neil Coburn.
He
leaves behind his wife of 52 years, Melanie Coburn Dailey of

introduced to their Grumpy’s favorite outdoor activities: Lauren
Elizabeth Dailey, Brooke Larkin Dailey, Alexis Emerson Dailey,
Beatrice Sofia Hernandez-Dailey and Ruben James
Hernandez-Dailey.
James
Andrew Dailey was a joyous, kind, and funny man. Generous to the

Mrs. Lara Kay Deadrick-Glasper was born to Ruby and Larry Deadrick on March 24, 1962, in Palacios, Texas. On February 3, 2019, she left her earthly home for a mansion in glory. Raised in Palacios, Texas and educated in the Palacios school system, Lara Kay was a 1980 graduate of Palacios High School, serving as Vice-President of the Sr. Class, Vice-President of Student Council, President of the Future Teachers of America, Member of the Speech & Debate Squad, Flutist in the Shark Band and an actress in UIL winning plays. Upon graduation from high school Lara Kay attended Victoria Junior College before earning her Bachelor of Science in Education from Prairie View A & M University. As a student at PVAMU, Lara Kay participated in the University Forensic Society and numerous other collegiate activities. A candidate for Miss Prairie View, Lara Kay carried forward the proud legacy of Alpha Kappa Alpha women in her family and was initiated into the Zeta Gamma Chapter as one of the 16 Trendsetting Beauties. While a student on "The Hill" Lara Kay met a young transfer student from Chicago, Illinois. After a courtship of several years, she married Lynn Glasper - her husband of 27 years. Together, they welcomed what Lara Kay often described as her "best work ever" - her son Larry Lynn. With her Education Degree from PVAMU in hand, Lara Kay began her long career as an educator, accepting a position at Thomas Edison Middle School in HISD. She left Edson to work in Montessori education helping to shape young minds and give them the best start on their educational journey. In 1988, Lara Kay joined Fort Bend Independent School District where for 31 years she educated, mentored and guided students - first at Christa McAuliffe Middle school, later at Progressive High School, and, for the last 20 years, at Willowridge High School. During her tenure in Fort Bend ISD, she was twice awarded Teacher of The Year for her campus. In May 2017, an example of her commitment to her students was captured on Twitter, when the Fort Bend ISD Chief of Police posted a photo of Lara Kay taking off her shoes at the 2017 graduation ceremony and giving them to a student with a broken shoe heel, so that the student could walk across the stage without embarrassment. While Lara Kay's life as an educator was busy, she still found time to volunteer as a member of the Continental Societies, as well as for activities for Larry's school and Boy Scouts. Each October and March found her donning her apron and flipping pancakes with the members of the "Cousins Club" for the annual church mission breakfast in Palacios. An avid reader, with a preference for John Saul, Patricia Cornwell and any series romance. Lara Kay will be remembered for her humor and her "fix-it" approach to life. A true South-Texas girl, she loved country music with its truthful, storied lyrics. Lara Kay was a faithful Christian who lived her testimony of trust in God and shared the compassionate heart of Christ with others. Absent in the body, present with The Lord - that is where our Lara Kay is now. She leaves to mourn her passing and celebrate her life: her husband, Lynn Glasper and her son, Larry Lynn Glasper; her parents, Ruby and Larry Deadrick; her sisters, Rossana Deadrick, Regina Deadrick and June Deadrick; her stepdaughters, Cathy Glasper and Octavia Williams; her aunts, Winnie Mauryne Grigsby, Kenda White, Tara Williams and Rita Holmes. Also mourning her are her "family-in-love", Mrs. Henrietta Wynn, Mr. James Glasper, Sr., the Glasper, Weakley, Lowe and Wynn families; her cousins; her school family, and countless other relatives and friends. Viewing will be Thursday, February 7, 2019, 10:45 – 11:45, at The Church Without Walls followed by the funeral service at 12:00 p. m. Graveside services will be Friday, February 8, 2019, 9:30 a. m. – 10:00 a. m. at Palacios Cemetery, 916 County Road 347 followed by interment. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a. m. at Agape Family Outreach, 1811 Newsome Blvd., Palacios, TX 77465.
