Joe Ruben Tanguma II
Joe Ruben Tanguma II
passed away on July 19, 2018. At the age of 43, he left this world
too early, but his legacy as a loving son and brother, brilliant
attorney, generous friend, and amazing father will live on forever
in the hearts of those who knew him.
Joe, or Joey, as he was
known to family, was born on December 26, 1974, to parents Joe and
Ruby Tanguma. Joey grew up in Bay City, Texas, where his parents
were lifelong educators. As the big brother, Joey playfully
tormented his younger brother David and doted on his little sister
Sarah. He attended Holy Cross Catholic School and Bay City High
School, where he was a stand out member of the swim team, and later
coached young swimmers during his summers home from college. He
remained close to many high school friends and was instrumental in
organizing the annual alumni swim competition.
Joey attended The
University of Texas at Austin for undergraduate studies and law
school, and was a huge Texas Longhorn fan. After graduating from law
school, Joey began his law practice representing public schools
throughout Texas. Building on his passion for helping others and
his deep respect for educators, Joey soon developed a reputation as
one of the best school attorneys in Texas. He was named a Texas
Rising Star and Texas Super Lawyer by Texas Monthly magazine, and a
Bay City ISD Distinguished Alumni in 2014. He represented hundreds
of school districts across Texas, argued cases in front of the Fifth
Circuit United States Court of Appeal, and earned the respect of his
clients and colleagues.
Joey was married for
many years to Tessa Mason, and was grateful for her friendship after
the marriage ended. He later married Jenny Wells and became Dad to
her young daughter Caris. His heart was full a few years later when
his daughter Josefina Ruby Tanguma (Josie) was born. Joey found his
calling in being a father, and was the best dad two little girls
could have. They were the light of his life, and his best qualities
shine through in their laughter and smiles.
Joey was a loving and
giving soul, full of humor, intelligence, and warmth. He left an
indelible mark on those around him, and he will be deeply missed. He
is remembered with love and joy by his parents, Joe and Ruby Tanguma;
brother, David Tanguma; sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Steven
Padilla; niece and nephew, Adriene and Stevie Padilla; daughters,
Caris and Josie, and their mom Jenny; aunts and uncles and cousins,
extended family, friends, and colleagues.
He is preceded in death
and welcomed into Heaven by his grandparents, aunts and uncle, and
his beloved dogs Royal and Hank.
Rosary and memorial
services are tentatively planned for the first weekend in August in
Bay City, Texas. Details will be forthcoming as they are finalized.

Anna Sue “Suzy” Chapman Thompson, 87, went home to be with her Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ on June 12, 2018. She was born in Bay City,
Texas to Grady and Wilton Chapman on July 16, 1930.
She spent her happy childhood growing up in Garwood, Sealy, Eagle
Lake and Bay City, Texas, and often told stories about the happy
times she spent as a young child living with her family in her
grandparent’s home during the great depression. Suzy sustained
life-threatening injuries following a car accident shortly after
graduating from Bay City High School in 1947. After a long yet full
recovery, she attended one semester of college at Texas Christian
University before marrying the love of her life, William “Bill”
Arthur Thompson, on March 5, 1949.
Bill and Suzy enjoyed life together, both being at home and
traveling the world, and raised their two beloved children, Lindsey
Arthur Thompson and Beverly Sue Thompson Bradley. Suzy not only
served her family well, but she was also dedicated to her community
and church, First United Methodist, where she was a member for over
fifty years, singing in the Cancel Choir for much of that time.
Suzy taught Sunday School classes in junior high, high school and
college age departments and served as the church school
superintendent for a period of ten years. She was active in Little
League, PTA and helped to organize and was a charter member of the
Bay City Junior Service League, subsequently serving as its
president. As a member of this organization, she volunteered
regularly at the Bay City Public Library and Matagorda General
Hospital.
After raising their two children, Suzy made the bold decision to
follow her dreams and returned to college to resume her education,
studying Art Education at Wharton County Junior College. She later
went on to receive her bachelor’s degree from the University of
Houston, followed by her master’s degree from Texas A&M University.
Bay City Independent School District recruited Suzy in January 1975
to implement and direct the Community Education program. She held
this position as director for 20 years before retiring in 1995 at
the age of 65. As Director of Community Education, Suzy brought
courses to Bay City that afforded citizens the opportunity to learn
new skills for personal growth and development, to enjoy enrichment
classes and for many to receive vocational training as well as to
earn high school diplomas and college degrees. During this time,
she also created an Advisory Council of 30 citizens who represented
all facets of the community, and over the years, these Bay City
Advisory Councils have been recognized and honored numerous times as
“The Outstanding Advisory Councils in Texas.” She also began the
Bay City Chapter of Literacy Volunteers of America in addition to a
Community Action Reaching Every Students (CARES) program benefitting
children in the Bay City schools. Subsequently, Suzy was elected to
serve as president of the State of Texas Community Education
Association.
However, none of these accolades compared to her greatest joy, her
four grandchildren, Emily Thompson, Chapman Thompson, Will Bradley
and her namesake, Anna Bradley Ferguson. Her grandchildren enriched
her life beyond words and she and Bill poured into them at every
opportunity.
Suzy’s personal interests always centered around her home and
family. She was a loving and involved wife and mother, the hub of
the family wheel. She was an adoring, devoted grandmother, sending
letters of encouragement or checking in through phone calls. In
addition, Suzy was a cherished friend to many. Her hobbies included
creating floral arrangements, gardening, genealogy, birding, cooking
and entertaining with family and friends. She and Bill both loved
to travel and took many lovely trips over the years to places in the
United States, Canada, Europe, Asia as well as Central and South
America. Her last big trip was to take her four grandchildren to
Alaska, at the age of 76. Suzy remained active in community
organizations as long as she was able, including the Bay City Floral
Study Luncheon Club, Book Review Club, Cemetery Board of Directors,
Daughters of the American Revolution and Daughters of the Republic
of Texas.
Suzy is preceded in death by her husband of nearly 58 years, Bill
Thompson; and her parents, Grady and Wilton Chapman.
She is survived by her son, Lindsey Arthur Thompson and Michelle
Renee Ottis of Bay City; her daughter and son-in-law, Beverly
Thompson Bradley and Douglas Bradley of Bellaire, Texas; her
grandchildren, Emily Thompson, Chapman Thompson and wife Becca, Will
Bradley and wife Brennin Bradley, and Anna Bradley Ferguson and
husband Ben Ferguson; as well as two great grandsons, William Brock
Bradley and Benjamin Bradley Ferguson. She is also survived by a
sister, Willa Dean Balusek and brother in law, Raymond Balusek of
Deer Park, Texas.
Visitation was held Saturday, June 16, 2018 at Taylor Bros. Funeral
Home in Bay City from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Cynthia Ann Reese Trousdale
Cynthia Ann Reese
Trousdale, 69, of Santa Fe, Texas was called to be with the Lord on
Saturday, February 2, 2019, in Houston.
Born March 11, 1949 in
Pasadena, Texas to Tony and Dorothy (Floyd) Reese. As the second
oldest of five children, she grew up in Bay City, Texas and in 1967,
graduated from Bay City High School. Cynthia then moved to the Santa
Fe area and attended College of the Mainland School of Nursing where
she earned her A.A.S. and graduated Phi Theta Kappa in 1979.
Throughout her Registered Nursing career, she always treated her

around her. She was a strong leader that imparted her wisdom to
anyone who asked for help. Cynthia also enjoyed reading books,
movies, singing, dancing and spending time with her family. In her
last days, her faith and love for the Lord never faltered, as she
praised and worshiped Him through gospel music. It is said...”A life
that touches others is never gone,” and Cynthia touched many lives
in her time here with us.
Cynthia was preceded in
