Cathy Wells, 54, peacefully went to be with the Lord on November 1, 2004, at 4:50am at her home in Waxahachie. Cathy was born in Seminole, Texas on November 13, 1949 to Thomas Lehman Teal, Jr. and Lillian Hills Teal. She graduated from Richland Springs High School in May 1968 and Howard Payne College on August 10, 1973 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and minor in English. She was a member of the Park Meadows Baptist Church. Cathy was a teacher at Waxahachie I. S. D. for 31 years. The W. I. S. D. Board of Trustees honored Cathy by naming her the recipient of the very first Teacher of the Month Award in January 1987. The past three years she was the librarian at Avalon I. S. D.
Cathy and Pepper Wells, high school sweethearts, were married May 25, 1968 at the First Baptist Church in Richland Springs. They moved to Waxahachie in August of 1970 to begin their teaching careers. Cathy was always thinking and wanting to do for others. She tried to see that everyone was as happy as she could make them. The love of her life was her family and she will be greatly missed by all that knew her.
She is survived by her husband, Pepper Wells of Waxahachie; sons Scott Pepper Wells and his wife Melanie, Eric Pepper Wells and his wife Deann, all of Waxahachie; four grandchildren that gave her so much joy, Ryan Pepper, Madison Chandler, Allison Grace and Autumn Deann; her mother and step-father, Lillian Teal and David Perkins of Brownwood; sister Terry and Dale McKinnerney of Richland Springs; brothers, Dr. Tommy and Connie Teal of Brownwood and Craig and Lavonna Teal of Waxahachie; mother-in-law, Billie Wells Standlee of Richland Springs; sister-in-law, Mitzi Wells Supak of Austin; and numerous nieces and nephews. She also left behind her constant companion, her pug, Max. She was preceded by her father, Thomas (Tex) Lehman Teal, Jr., father-in-law, Frank Wells and step-father-in-law, Raymond Standlee.
The family will receive friends and relatives 6-8 PM Tuesday, November 2, 2004 at the Wayne Boze Funeral Home. The Celebration of Life will be 10 AM Wednesday, November 3, 2004 in the Pat Boze Memorial Chapel of the funeral home with Grady Cashion officiating.
In lieu of flowers, Cathy had requested donations be made to the: First Baptist Church Elevator Fund, Box J, Richland Springs, TX 76871.
After four years with a courageous battle with cancer, we mourn for our loss, but are comforted in knowing Cathy has claimed her reward through Jesus Christ her Lord. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness." 2 Timothy 4:7.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Wayne Boze Funeral Home.
