Precious daughter, wonderful mother, beloved grandmother and fun friend to many, Tina Jo Maples Brady was born Oct. 26, 1958, and left us on May 24, 2012.

She left behind a son, William Paul Brady, 36; a daughter, Robin Gene Brady Womack, 27; and four beautiful grandchildren, Robert Michael Worthington Brady, 10, Lauren Nicole Womack, 8, Jace William Womack, 7, and Daniel Anthony Diaz, 6.

She was the daughter of Peggy and Wendell Maples, from Fort Worth. Their large family included one brother, Benjamin, and Tina Jo’s three sisters, Lisa Sue, Bonnie Gene and Wendelyn Ettna.

Our Momma, “TaTa”, a person as gentle and good as she was, does not come along every day. The greatest gift she’s ever given is simply herself, her company, her smile and her advice. People completely relaxed in her presence and being around her just usually made you feel good!

We have asked God to reward her in measure. She has given so much. She deserves His blessings. We know, too, that she will have them.

We have claimed them for her because … We love and miss her so. Friends and family will celebrate the life of Tina Jo on Saturday, June 2.

For information, call (361) 645-9198. Brownwood Funeral Home was in charge of final arrangements.
