Woodie Joerine Sellers
Joerine accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior after meeting William H. Sellers in El Paso in 1955. A story that she loved to share time after time, of their love and how important it was to Daddy that she accept Christ before they married and shared their life together. What an amazing life they had, 66 years of marriage, working side by side with Daddy’s business as a State Farm agent, Mom as his secretary.
They shared a love for travel and enjoyed numerous trips together as well as with family. We teased her that her middle name was “Go!,” because she was always packed and ready for our next adventure. She was the most loving Momma to her daughters, Mimmy/ Mim to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Every conversation with Jo included her love for the Lord, her relationship with Him and did you know Him, whether you were a stranger or a friend. She was a member at the Worship Place in Georgetown.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jerry Meadows and Joseph Sivil; her husband, Bill; and grandson, Caleb Brooks.
Joerine is survived her daughters, Sheri and David Brooks of Taylor, and Gayla and Lynn Bonnet of Florence.
