NORMA JANE “NONIE” FARR – March 17, 1941 to March 5, 2026

NORMA JANE “NONIE” FARR – March 17, 1941 to March 5, 2026

Norma Jane “Nonie” Farr, 84, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2026. She was born on March 17, 1941, to the late Ernest Weldon and Lois Mildred Cogburn Farr. Raised in Fort Worth, she remained forever proud of being a “Cowtown girl.”

Nonie graduated from Amon Carter High School in 1959 and, in 1961, began the career she had always dreamed of—serving as a flight attendant for American Airlines. Over the course of her remarkable forty‑two‑year career, she was based in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Dallas–Fort Worth. She witnessed many historic moments in aviation, including the events of 9/11, but often spoke most fondly of her service in the late 1960s flying Military Airlift Command (MAC) missions. Aboard 707 charter flights, she and her crew transported troops between major U.S. hubs and Pacific bases, including Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa. From there, they ferried young servicemen in and out of Da Nang, Vietnam—passengers she always considered the most precious of her career.

After retiring from American Airlines in 2002, Nonie embraced life at her beloved farm in South Texas. There, surrounded by the land she loved, she created some of her most memorable artwork and enjoyed some of her happiest years.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernie and Lois; her cherished MaMaw Farr; and dear friends Sandra Pullin and Lynn Morgan.

Nonie is survived by her devoted partner of forty‑two years, Trish Griffith; her sister, Linda Croker (Gary); nephew, Darren Heppel; niece, Jerrilynn Heppel Lowenthal; the Pullin/Thomas family; and many other relatives and friends who will miss her deeply.

A celebration of Nonie’s life was held at Freund Funeral Home on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. A private burial will follow at a later date at La Rosa Cemetery in Woodsboro.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Home Instead, Hospice of South Texas Dornburg Center of Compassion in Victoria, and Advanced Home Health of Hallettsville for their exceptional care and kindness.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of South Texas Dornburg Center of Compassion.

Scam Alert: Fraudulent “DPS Citation Notice” Circulating in Texas

Pat Trevino | March 17, 2026

A new scam is making the rounds across Texas, targeting residents with alarming emails and text messages claiming to be from the Texas Department of Public Safety. The message warns of an unpaid citation and threatens driver’s license holds, registration denials, and additional fees unless the recipient clicks a link and pays immediately.

Local officials stress that DPS does not send text messages or emails about unpaid tickets, and any message of this kind should be deleted, blocked, and reported. To help the public recognize the scam, the full text of the fraudulent message is included below.

Full Scam Message Being Circulated

SCAM ALERT
The below is an email/text message from Scammers that is going around. It is completely bogus. It is being shown here in its entirety so you will recognize it if you receive it. DO NOT RESPOND OR CLICK ANY LINKS!!!

Texas Department of Public Safety – Driver License Division
Administrative Review of Driving Record

An administrative review of your Texas driving record shows an outstanding citation that remains unpaid.

Under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 706 (Failure to Appear / Failure to Pay Program) and related provisions, the following enforcement actions will be applied unless the violation is resolved by March 17, 2026:

  1. Driving Record Notation
    The unpaid citation and failure to appear/pay will be reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety and permanently noted on your driving record, which may affect future insurance premiums, employment background checks, and CDL qualifications.
  2. Vehicle Registration Denial
    Your Texas vehicle registration renewal may be denied. You will be unable to renew or obtain new registration for any vehicle registered in your name until the matter is cleared.
  3. Driver License Renewal Denial
    Your Texas driver license will not be eligible for renewal. If your current license expires after the hold is placed, you will be unable to renew it and your driving privileges in Texas may become invalid. This action may also be reported through the Nonresident Violator Compact (NRVC) to other participating states.
  4. Additional Fees
    The following costs will apply in addition to the original fine:
    • $10 Failure to Appear / Failure to Pay Program fee (per Texas Transportation Code § 706.006)
    • Possible court-specified late fees
    • DPS reinstatement fee (currently $100 for most license-related holds)
    • Any applicable OmniBase administrative processing fees
  5. Further Collection & Court Action
    The unpaid amount may be referred to a collections agency. The issuing court may issue a warrant for Failure to Appear or Failure to Pay, and the debt may be reported to credit bureaus.

Action Required
This is a final notice before enforcement actions take effect. Resolve the citation by March 17, 2026 to prevent these restrictions.

The fastest way to clear this hold is to contact the court that issued the citation directly or use the official Texas Failure to Appear website.

Check status and make payment: (Fraudulent Link Removed)

Taking care of this today is the fastest way to stop tomorrow’s suspensions and halt additional collection activity.

As mentioned above, Scammers are constantly trying to victimize people, and this is just one of the hundreds of methods they employ. DPS does not send out emails or text messages about unpaid tickets. Block and report the junk. Share this info with friends and family.

St. Michael’s Spring Festival Set for May 17: A Day of Food, Fun, and Community Tradition

Staff Writer | March 17, 2026

CUERO, TX — St. Michael’s Catholic Church is gearing up for one of its most beloved annual traditions as the St. Michael’s Spring Festival returns on Saturday, May 17, bringing a full day of food, music, games, and family‑friendly entertainment to 309 E. Church Street.

The festival has long served as both a fundraiser and a community homecoming, drawing parishioners, neighbors, and visitors from across DeWitt County. This year’s event promises the same welcoming spirit with a lineup of activities designed for all ages.

At the heart of the festival is the roast beef dinner, served dine‑in or to‑go for $15 per plate. The meal includes all the traditional trimmings and is expected to be one of the day’s biggest draws, as it has been for decades.

Beyond the food, guests can enjoy live music, a lively auction, and a variety of classic festival attractions. A silent auction, bingo, cake walk, country store, and raffle will run throughout the day, offering plenty of chances to win prizes or pick up homemade goods. Children and families can look forward to the carnival, which adds an extra layer of excitement to the event.

Organizers say the festival is more than a fundraiser — it’s a celebration of community, faith, and the shared traditions that continue to bring Cuero families together year after year.

The public is invited to mark their calendars, gather friends and family, and enjoy a day of fellowship at St. Michael’s Spring Festival.
