SHIRLEY ANN VOELKEL – JULY 29, 1941, – JUNE 20, 2026 ( 84)

Shirley Ann Voelkel, age 84, of Nordheim, Texas passed away on, 20th of June 2026.  She was born July 29, 1941, at her parent’s home, in Dewitt County, Texas to Whitmore Forrest Voelkel and Agnes Bernice Rohan Voelkel.

In her early years, Shirley found joy in being a homemaker and a talented seamstress. She worked with integrity, kindness, and a natural ability to connect with others. She especially loved creating clothing adorned with redbirds and hummingbirds, and she took pride in custom-tailoring outfits for friends and family in the community.

As her children grew older, Shirley expanded her work outside the home. She spent time at Pyron’s in Runge before beginning a 17‑year career as a meat cutter/cashier at H‑E‑B in Kenedy. She retired after receiving a life‑changing kidney transplant from her loving brother, Gordon—a gift she treasured deeply.

Shirley also enjoyed taking gambling trips with local friends, always eager to meet new people, share stories, and bring laughter to those around her. Her warmth, openness, and ability to make friends wherever she went were among her most enduring qualities.

Shirley’s life was defined by love—love for her family, her friends, her work, and the simple joys that made each day meaningful. She will be remembered for her generosity, her resilience, and the way she made every person she met feel valued.

Shirley is survived by her beloved companion, Robert “Bobby” Waskow. She took great pride in being a devoted homemaker for Bobby, creating a home filled with care, warmth, and unwavering support. Before joining her life with Bobby, she was previously married to EV Caruthers and James “Frog” Audilet.

Family was the center of Shirley’s world. She is lovingly remembered by her son, Roy Caruthers; her daughters, JoAnn Trippodo and Sherry Keese. Shirley’s legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren: James Zengerle, Jeffrey Zengerle, Danny Keese, Ann Keese, Diana Keese, Kyle Caruthers, Alex Caruthers, Joshua Caruthers, Tiffany Hilbrich Ruona, and Troy Hilbrich.

She is also preceded in death by her parents, daughter Kay Hilbrich, brothers Forrest Voelkel, Jimmy Voelkel, Gordon Voelkel, and Franklin Voelkel, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

CAROLINE BRICKNER MOSER – AUGUST 1, 1924 – JUNE 25, 2026 (101)

MOULTON: Caroline Brickner Moser, age 101, of Moulton, Texas, passed away peacefully on June 25, 2026. Born on August 1, 1924, in Peoria, Illinois, to Henry and Ruth Brickner, Carol lived a long and remarkable life defined by strength, service, compassion, and unwavering independence.

After graduating from nursing school in 1945, Carol devoted the rest of her career to caring for others. She continued serving her community well into her nineties, including weekends as the Head Registered Nurse at Shiner Nursing Home. Through her compassion, skill, and dedication, she touched countless lives and earned the respect of patients, families, and colleagues alike. Carol and her husband, Edmund, shared a love of adventure, friendship, and travel. An accomplished pilot, Edmund often flew the couple on day trips to neighboring cities where they met friends for lunch or dinner before returning home, creating memories they treasured together. Fiercely independent throughout her life, Carol lived alone until the age of 100 and maintained a valid driver’s license, continuing to chart her own course well into her second century of life. She had a special love for animals, especially her dogs, who were treasured companions over the years. Her compassion extended to the many stray cats she faithfully cared for, maintaining a colony of cats until she entered the nursing home. Having lived through more than a century of change, Carol remained grounded in the values that guided her throughout her life: hard work, resilience, kindness, and service to others. Her legacy lives on through the generations of family she loved and the many lives she touched.

Carol was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Edmund Moser, Jr., who passed away in 1961; her parents, Henry and Ruth Brickner; and her three older sisters, Suzie, Mary, and Mikee. Together, the sisters were lovingly known within the family as “The Four Little Women,” a bond that remained a cherished part of Carol’s life. Those who knew and loved Carol can take comfort in imagining a joyful reunion with Edmund, Suzie, Mary, and Mikee, the Four Little Women together once again.

Carol is survived by her daughter, Sally Hahn and her partner, Leo; her granddaughters, Kate Krause and husband Levi, and Kelly Hahn; and her great-grandchildren, Taylor Hahn, Trent Buerger, Kylee Krause, Kaleb Krause, Gabriella Perez, Antonio Gonzales, Ramiro Gonzales, and Jeremiah Cruz. Carol will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished by all who knew her.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Thiele-Cooper Funeral Home in Yoakum. In accordance with Carol’s wishes, no public services will be held.

GREGORY CHARLES “GREG” NAGEL – AUGUST 16, 1962 TO JUNE 21, 2026 (63)

Gregory Charles “Greg” Nagel, 63, of San Antonio, passed away after a courageous year-long journey with illness, surrounded by love.

Greg was born on August 16, 1962, in Cuero, Texas, to Charles and Jean Nagel. He was raised alongside his siblings, Jeff Nagel and Ann Nagel Pratt, and remained deeply connected to his family roots throughout his life—especially the N7 multi-generational family ranch in Cuero, which held a special place in his heart. No matter where he was in the world, he always made it a point to return to the ranch for birthdays and holidays.

Greg earned his Bachelor of Science in Dairy Science and a Master of Agricultural Economics from Texas A&M University. He went on to serve for 30 years with the U.S. Treasury as a National Bank Examiner. In addition, he was the co-founder of Capital Envy Franchise Development Co., where he also served as CFO and helped build and support businesses for over 18 years.

Greg loved entertaining, cooking, and creating spaces where everyone felt welcome and cared for. Whether hosting one of his memorable gatherings, arranging flowers, or simply making sure everyone was having a good time, Greg made life feel fuller, warmer, and more joyful.

He was known for his spirit, his sense of humor (“holy guacamole”), and his belief that life should be lived boldly and without regret. He encouraged others to “go forth in the direction of your dreams,” to “do more of what makes you happy,” and to “try everything”—values he lived alongside Eric in their entrepreneurial adventures.

Greg shared 28 extraordinary years with his husband, Eric Barton, building a life defined by love, adventure, and true partnership. Together, they made their home in Dallas, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; Washington, D.C.; Northern Virginia; Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico—creating a life rich with travel, exploration, and connection. Through it all, they built a world without regrets—one filled with celebration and deep devotion.

He is survived by his husband, Eric Barton; his parents, Charles and Jean Nagel; his siblings and spouses, Jeff and Katy Nagel and Ann and Jim Pratt; several nieces and nephews, many great-nieces and nephews, cousins, loyal sidekick Brooklyn, and countless dear friends around the world whose lives he touched.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Edwin and Edna Krueger-Nagel, Rudolph and Jennie Fuchs, and his cousin, Scott Benfield.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM in the main cathedral, with a reception to follow at 5910 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas, TX 75235.

In honor of Greg, donations may be made to Texas FFA, 4-H Foundations, or the American Brain Tumor Association.
