Jackie Kay Bradford

On October 17, 2026, the world lost a beautiful soul, Jackie Kay Bradford, who passed away peacefully in her sleep. Born on July 29, 1968, in Fort Worth, Texas, Jackie was a beacon of love and faith throughout her 58 years. Her journey began as the cherished daughter of Johnny and Judy Bradford, who have predeceased her.

Having grown up in Arlington, Texas Jackie was a proud graduate of Arlington High School, class of 1986. She loved being a dog sitter, a role that perfectly aligned with her nurturing spirit and love for animals. Her gentle nature and compassionate heart left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered, especially the four-legged friends she cared for.

Her faith was an integral part of her life, and as an active member of Church360, Jackie found joy and fulfillment in her spiritual community. She is fondly remembered for her beautiful smile, unwavering faith and her ability to remember the date of any particular event that had taken place. She was our unofficial family historian.

Jackie's life was rich with simple pleasures and beloved pastimes. She adored her family and cherished moments spent in their company, especially during Sister Sleepovers, Holidays, and Family Reunions. She was the very best Aunt in the whole wide world.

Her love for Jesus, Chick-fil-A, Outback Steakhouse, the Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, Starbucks Frappuccinos and White Rhino hot chocolate was well-known. She was a spirited fan of classic television shows like Bonanza, Andy Griffith, Little House on the Prairie, The Walton’s, The Partridge Family and Everybody Loves Raymond. Jackie found delight in playing Bunco and going to lunch with her church friends. She had a particular fondness for Mississippi Mud Cake (a must on her birthday) and sweet tea—“light ice”.

She is survived by her five sisters, who were her lifelong companions and confidantes: Julie (Donald) Trumble, Janet (Don) Nicholson, Jill (Larry) Chapman, Joanna (Chris) Buckley, and Jennifer (Charles) Dever. Several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, her best friend since they were 5 years old, Angel, and her cat Sookie.

Her family and friends were the centerpiece of her life, and their bonds were strengthened by shared faith, memories, laughter and love.

Although she faced difficult health challenges, her inner strength and faith in Jesus never wavered. We take comfort knowing she is no longer in pain and is reunited with our Momma and Daddy and her baby Shelby.

We will honor Jackie’s life on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 at Church360, 6450 S State Highway 360, Grand Prairie, TX 75052.

Visitation will be from 10:00 - 11:00 AM

Funeral Service to follow at 11:00AM

Graveside Service 1:00PM at Moore Memorial Gardens, Arlington, Texas.

One of Jackie’s wishes was that everyone would wear red or black to her service.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Hussna Abunafeesa and Dr. Suzanne Cole at UT Southwestern Medical Center - Oncology, for their wonderful care and compassion, as well as Dr. Bruce Mickey who performed Jackie’s brain surgeries in 1997 and 1999.

Thank you also to Gentiva Hospice—RN’s Jill and Robert and CNA Xochitl, who treated Jackie with unmatched kindness, compassion, love, and respect.

I love you so much lil sis! You were my best sister-friend. Don’t worry, I won’t tell the others.

Linda Ruth Soehnge

Linda Ruth Soehnge, 77, passed away peacefully at home on October 11, 2026, after a two-year journey with Alzheimer’s disease. In her final days she was surrounded by the family and friends who cared for her and loved her, and whom she loved right back.

Linda was born on December 18, 1948, in Fort Worth, Texas, to James “Cotton” Goodman and Joyce (Brooks) Goodman. She grew up on a series of small ranches in the countryside around Fort Worth, and some of her happiest childhood days were spent with her beloved horse, Chili Pepper.

For most of her career, Linda worked as a marketing manager, first at Xerox and later at Hewlett-Packard. It was at HP that she met the love of her life, Bobby. But the work closest to her heart was her photography. As a photographic artist, she happily shared her work at regional art shows, including the Main Street Arts Festival in Fort Worth. Those who knew Linda knew she loved the color purple and was rarely without a piece of her signature jewelry, often bought from fellow artists she met at those same shows.

Linda and Bobby spent ten years in Atlanta before coming home to the Dallas–Fort Worth area to be closer to family. Linda loved her people deeply, and that included Bobby’s family, whom she welcomed and cherished as her very own.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents. She leaves behind her loving husband, Bobby Soehnge; her brother, Jim “Bubba” Goodman; her dear friend, Angie Welch; and her sweet dogs, Preston and Rosie, who never left her side.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Linda’s life at a Service of Witness to the Resurrection at 10:00 AM on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Wade Funeral Home, 4140 West Pioneer Parkway, Arlington, Texas 76013.

Please join the family afterward for a reception at the home of Frank Soehnge and Chris Kelly, 4411 Steeplechase Court, Arlington, Texas 76016.

In lieu of flowers, the family would be grateful for donations to the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org.

Margo was the cherished daughter of Karl and Elsa Plagge, who instilled in her a passion for learning and a deep appreciation for her German heritage. This passion was evident throughout her life as she became an active member of the German community in Arlington, where she resided for over 40 years.

A lover of languages and cultures, Margo turned her fluency in German and her love for people into a fulfilling career as a tour director for Dan Dipert Tours. Her work allowed her to share her enthusiasm for geography and customs with others, and she was always eager for her next adventure. Margo's zest for life was infectious, and her tales of travel inspired many to explore the world beyond their doorstep.

At home, Margo found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was an avid bridge player, a pastime that not only challenged her intellect but also brought her closer to friends. Her love for reading and gardening filled her later years.

Margo was predeceased by her beloved daughter Marlene Aguirre, her grandson Micheal Aguirre, and her devoted parents. She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Norman Pierce, her daughter Cherie Moore, and her great-grandson Jesse Ford and his wife Julie, who will continue to carry forward her legacy of love and adventure.

A celebration of Margo's life will be held on October 22, 2026, at 12:00 PM at Arlington Cemetery 801 S. Mary Street, Arlington Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Margo's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting her spirit of generosity and her desire to make the world a better place.

Margo E. Pierce's life was a testament to the beauty of embracing the world with open arms and an open heart. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who had the privilege to know her.

Wayne Arlen Rohne

Wayne Arlen Rohne passed away peacefully on Friday, October 16, 2026, in Arlington at the age of ninety-five. Wayne was born on the family farm on September 8, 1931, near Cranfills Gap, Texas in rural Bosque County. He was the middle of three children born to Paul B. (Tom) Rohne and Alma B. (Tergerson) Rohne. He was baptized and confirmed at Saint Olaf’s Lutheran Church in Cranfills Gap and graduated from Cranfills Gap High School in 1949. Wayne liked to say he graduated in the top twenty-five of his class (if you know you know). Following high school, Wayne enrolled at nearby Clifton Lutheran College where he played football and met Jurdiss Marie Colwick. Following graduation from Clifton College in 1951, he ventured to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1953. The couple were married on November 7, 1953, and enjoyed almost 22 years together before her passing on September 13, 1975.

Wayne, having served in the Army Reserve during his college years, enlisted into active service with the US Army in 1954. He became a member of the Signal Corps stationed at the Panama Canal during the Korean War through 1956. After his honorable discharge from the Army as Specialist Fourth Class (E-4), Wayne enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. Upon graduating and passing the bar exam in 1958, the couple moved to Fort Worth where he started working as an attorney with Simon, Crowley, Ratliff and Miller, working his way to managing partner. In 1967, he hung out his own shingle, Wayne Rohne Attorney at Law, later being joined by partner Jerry Hoodenpyle. Rohne and Hoodenpyle prospered and were prominently known in the city of Arlington until his retirement in 1993. He then worked “Of Counsel” until the early 2000’s. At that time, he again practiced law solely until the age of 90 in 2021.

Wayne forayed into politics in 1970 as a council member for the town of Pantego. He then stepped up serving as Pantego mayor for ten years from 1971 to 1981, helping the city move forward and improve in many ways. During this time, he worked with the Council of Governments which banded together smaller, local cities to better help one another. He also served as a city attorney for multiple municipalities and represented many school districts.

Wayne and Jurdiss Rohne were parents to five children. Both Roger Wayne and Mark Allen were lost as infants. Still desiring children, the couple adopted Bruce Edward, Eric Thomas and Janet Lynne, who were raised with great love and affection. After Jurdiss’ passing in 1975, Wayne married Marguerite (Marge) Rohne on December 16, 1990, and they enjoyed many adventures together until her passing May 15, 2007.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Maurine and brother-in-law Perry Suter; wife Jurdiss; son Eric Thomas; second wife Marge Wilhelm; brother Paul Bernhardt Jr. and his wife Harriet; grandson Bradley Rohne and nephews David Suter, Greg Carlson and Tommy Suter.

He is survived by his son Bruce Rohne (Lou Ann); daughter Janet Rohne Ayala (Jaime); granddaughters: Laura Rohne, Mandi Vogel (Dustin); Alicia Ayala Anderson (Colton), grandson Jaimie Ayala Jr, and six great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by stepchildren Scott and Wendy Wilhelm, their children Keeley, Riley; Sherri Wilhelm Pitre (Chris) and Jenelle Bailey.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 PM at St. Olaf Lutheran Church, 402 Meridian Street, Cranfills Gap on October 22, 2026 with graveside burial service to follow at St. Olafs Kirke (Old Rock Church), 2680 CR 4145, Cranfills Gap.

Memorials may be given to Saint Olaf Lutheran Church – Stained Glass Renovation fund, Cranfills Gap, Texas.

Wayne was proud of his Norwegian heritage, he helped found the Norwegian Society of Texas. He enjoyed genealogy and spending time at his farm and residence in Bosque County. He lived a long and productive life fully devoted to his faith, family and career. He touched many lives and leaves a legacy of devoted service to family, friends, and all who knew and loved him.

David Powell Littlefield

On April 19, 1932, David Powell Littlefield was born to Ray and Inez Littlefield at home on Texas Avenue in Houston, Texas. He was the youngest of three brothers (Virgil and Raymond). When David was five years old, the family moved to Brownwood, Texas, where his dad attended Howard Payne College. Two years later, the family moved to Waco, Texas, where his dad attended Baylor University, and his mom did secretarial work for President Pat Neff. David and his brothers enjoyed living just across from the entrance to Cameron Park, an 1100-plus-acre park – a wonderful place for three boys to explore and enjoy! It was in Waco, when David was 10 years old, that he accepted Jesus as his personal Savior during a Sunday worship service at the 7th and James Baptist Church. When David was 12, the family returned to Houston where he graduated from Lamar High School at age 17. At his uncle Paul Boynton’s request, he entered Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas. His uncle was president of SFA. After completing his initial year at SFA, David transferred to the University of Houston and completed his BBA in Management. Following his initial employment with Consolidated Chemical Industries (CCI), he continued graduate studies at the University of Houston. Shortly thereafter, he was drafted into the United States Army and served two years in Massachusetts as a Radar Operator and Troop Information and Education Liaison at the NIKE Missile Base.

Following David’s discharge, he returned to CCI (now the Industrial Division of Stauffer Chemical Company) and was eventually transferred to the Division Office as Assistant Personnel Manager. In addition to David’s Human Resources background, his career included Management and Organizational Development, Consulting, and Teaching. He served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Houston, Houston Baptist University, Houston Community College System, the University of Texas-Arlington, and Tarrant County Community College System.

During David’s retirement years, he taught men to read through the Arlington READS Program, visited/encouraged patients at the Mansfield Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, served as the Lowe’s Farm HOA Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, and as a member of the Mansfield Historic Landmark Commission.

David and his wife, Barbara (deceased), have a blended family of four children (plus one daughter, deceased), 15 grandchildren, and 18 great grandchildren. And, what a blessing they have been!

It became apparent that God was leading David to encourage and to touch/change lives for the Lord over the years. It was his pleasure to serve in leadership/teaching for CrossCity Baptist Church in Euless, Texas and, later, as an encourager to others at Walnut Ridge Baptist Church in Mansfield. His desire was to give God the glory in all that he did!

In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates contributions to Walnut Ridge Baptist Church for use in their community mission outreach.

Barbara Alice Williams

Barbara Alice Williams (Lawing) was called home to our Lord on October 12, 2026. Born on June 4, 1930, to Arthur and Foy Lawing in Arlington, Texas. A graduate of the original Arlington High School, where she met the love of her life, Henry “Sonny” Williams. Barbara married Sonny in October 1948 and lived on Center St. for the first several years of their marriage. Barbara is remembered by her grandchildren with her skills as a baker, to quote her granddaughter, Chana, “My Mammaw was Texas through and through. She was a wonderful baker (oh, those chocolate chip cookies!), a perfect hostess, a fisherwoman and loved camping. For years every Halloween, she made caramel apples for all the grandkids, a tradition I’ll always remember.”

A devout Christian whose family helped to establish Park Row Church of Christ, rarely missed a service. Barbara later became a member of Woodland West Church of Christ and regularly watched their services on her tablet. In 1969, Barbara and Sonny bought some lake front property on Cedar Creek Lake. Together, Barbara and Sonny built their lake house, affectionately called a fishing cabin by Barbara. Connie proudly tells everyone that she helped Sonny brick the fireplace. In recent years Barbara would spend her time sitting on the porch of the lake house enjoying the breeze or on the dock with a line in the water.

Aside from being such an avid baker, she also loved to work on her jigsaw puzzles, often completing a 1,000 piece puzzle every week. Barbara was also very accomplished with crocheting, having made a baby blanket for each one of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Barbara was also a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan, rarely missing a game on television and an avid watcher of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.

Barbara retired from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1992 as an Administrative Assistant, through her retirement she was able to spend a lot of time with her grandchildren. Through their marriage, Barbara and Sonny were able to take several trips across the country and spend time with their beloved children, Ronny, David and Connie. Sonny preceded Barbara in death in 2010 and now they are reunited in Heaven.

Barbara is survived by her children and their spouses, Ronny and Julie Williams, David and Cindy Williams, Connie and William G***k, her grandchildren Chana and Dayson Fouts, Sarah Williams, Joshua Williams, Aaron and Ellie Williams, Jeremy and Jamie Williams, Cheri Williams, Tyler and Parker Bynum, Lauren and Quentin Hasten and 14 great grandchildren with two more great-grandchildren expected soon.
