Sara "Sally" Elizabeth Mudd

Sara “Sally” Elizabeth Mudd passed peacefully on July 31, 2026, surrounded by her family and loved ones.

Sally was born January 22, 1938, in Denton Texas, to Sara and Mark Hannah. From an early age she was full of energy, joy and a love for others. When Sally was just 6 months old her father bought her a shetland pony. As she grew, her interest in ponies increased and with the help of her father they started "Sally's Pony Farm". Using the money from the pony sales she eventually paid her father back and became sole owner in 1948, at only 11 years old. Sally's Pony Farm is an important and cherished part of her childhood. She was especially close to her “Aunt” Exa Adams. Aunt Exa was a loving and devoted Christian influence in Sally’s life, helping care and raise her after Sally lost her mother at the age of two. Sally’s faith in Jesus remained a guiding part of her growing childhood.

Sally was friendly and well-loved throughout her school years. In high school, she was a cheerleader and was voted Most Popular. She attended North Texas State University and graduated in 1959 with a Bachelors in Education. While attending North Texas she met her college sweetheart and lifelong love, Jim Mudd. They married in 1960 in California, where they both lived and taught for two years. They moved back to Texas in 1964 where she continued her teaching career. Teaching children was Sally’s lifelong passion. She dedicated her career to teaching young children, primarily kindergarten. She was known throughout Denton for "Sally's Little School". A private school that she started and ran for over 6 years. She furthered her teaching career working in Coppell and Denton public schools. She was known to be an exceptional educator who took great pride in seeing her kindergarten students graduate knowing how to read and write.

After retiring from teaching, Sally became the volunteer coordinator at Flow Hospital for several years. A job she always described as “fun” and one that never felt like work. Sally and Jim then retired to Cave Creek, Arizona, where they spent 25 wonderful years. There, Sally continued to grow in her faith, serve at her local church, work several part-time jobs, and build cherished lifelong friendships. She loved caring for her beautiful yard, floating in the pool and going on adventures with her weekly girls groups.

In 2023, Sally and Jim returned to Denton, where she spent her final three years reconnecting with lifelong friends, former coworkers, and children she had taught. She especially treasured watching her grandson Jake play baseball and basketball. Sally will be remembered for her joyful spirit, her love of children, her devotion to Jesus, her gift for friendship, and her generous heart. She touched countless lives through her teaching, faith, and willingness to care for others.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Sara; father, Mark; Aunt Exa Adams; stepmother, Jessie; and brother, Ken Griffeth.

Sally is survived by her beloved husband of 66 years, Jim Mudd; son Mark Mudd of Callisburg; son Chad Mudd and wife, Christin; grandson Jake of Denton; sister Nancy Martinez and her children, Michael (Natalie) and Marci of Anaheim, California; and brother Mark and wife, Kathey, of Denton.

Hershel Joseph Chenevert, Sr.

Hershel Joseph Chenevert, Sr.

February 10, 1951 – August 17, 2026

With deep sorrow, the Chenevert family announces the passing of Hershel Joseph Chenevert, Sr., who died unexpectedly on August 17, 2026, at UT Southwestern Hospital in Dallas, Texas. He was 75 years old, born February 10, 1951, in Lafayette, Louisiana, the son of Mathew and Ella Chenevert.

Hershel was raised in a close-knit family of sharecroppers in Louisiana, where hard work and looking out for one another were simply a way of life. Every summer, when school let out for growing season, the Chenevert children worked the fields right alongside their parents. Money was tight, and new cars were out of the question — so Hershel and his brothers made a habit of finding discarded, broken-down vehicles and repairing them by hand, a resourcefulness and work ethic that stayed with him the rest of his life.

He attended Immaculate Conception Catholic School in Lebeau, Louisiana, where he served as an altar boy, before graduating from Phillis Wheatley High School in Melville, Louisiana, in 1969.

Like many young men of his generation, Hershel was drafted into the United States Army, where he served with Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, stationed in Germany during the Cold War. He served with discipline and honor and was honorably discharged in June 1973. It was in Germany that he met Helga, who would become the mother of his daughter, Vanessa, who was born in 1974.

After his military service, Hershel went to work for Pacific Rentals, an equipment rental yard in California run by his brother Matthew. It was there that he built a career in equipment rentals and repair, and in 1984 met Felicia, the woman who would become his wife, forming a close bond along the way with her young daughter, Erika.

Hershel and Felicia welcomed a son, Hershel Chenevert, Jr., and were married on July 5, 1992 — a union that would last more than three decades. Together they raised a blended family, with Vanessa, Erika, and Hershel Jr.

Hershel went on to spend five years as a service manager with Montgomery Ward, where his work ethic and leadership caught the attention of Camping World, who recruited him away. He spent the next 25 years there, rising from the service department to General Manager, then District Manager, and eventually Vice President of Memberships — a path that brought the family to Texas. He retired in 2013 and went on to co-found C&N Construction and Remodeling, which grew from a favor for family and friends into a referral-based business built on quality and honesty.

Outside of work, Hershel loved golf, which suited his patient and competitive nature, and he rarely missed a Saints game on Sundays. He also enjoyed watching basketball with family and friends. He was known for firing up the grill for a good cookout, and having a smidge, ribs were his specialty.

Those who knew him remember a man who could seem reserved at first, but who was quick to laugh, quick to forgive, and always ready with a bit of teasing once you got to know him. He was known for his attention to detail, his strong work ethic, and his kindness toward everyone who crossed his path — family, friends, and colleagues alike.

Hershel is survived by his wife, Felicia Chenevert; his daughters, Vanessa Cardona (Jeff) and Erika Rockwell (Norman); his son, Hershel Chenevert, Jr. (Delilah); his six grandchildren, Micah Cardona, Levi Cardona, Marcus Rockwell, Olivia Rockwell, Hershel Chenevert III, and Dylan Chenevert; his brothers, Murray, John, and Layne Chenevert; and his sisters, Janette Johnson, Beverley LaMotte (Paul), Gardenia Celestine (Gary), and Ruth Garriette (Ron).

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mathew and Ella Chenevert; his sister, Mary Ann Johnson; and his brother, Matthew Chenevert.

Hershel Joseph Chenevert, Sr. leaves behind a legacy of integrity, humor, and love for his family. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew him.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for all the love, prayers, compassion, and support shown to Hershel and the family during this difficult time.

April 21, 1968 - August 14, 2026

Jodie Lynn Massey, 58, of Justin, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on August 14, 2026.

Jodie was an absolute ray of sunshine. Vibrant, larger than life, and blessed with the biggest heart, she had a way of brightening every room she entered. She always looked for the best in people and had an incredible gift for making everyone around her feel loved, special, and seen.

To know Jodie was to love her. Her smile could light up a room, her energy was contagious, and her kindness and generosity touched countless lives. Whether you had known her for years or had just met her, Jodie had a way of making you feel like you mattered.

Above everything else, Jodie loved her family. She was a deeply loving and caring wife to her husband, Jeff Massey, the love of her life and her best friend. Her children and grandchildren were truly her world, and she never missed an opportunity to proudly talk about each of them.

Jodie is survived by her husband, Jeff Massey; her children, Kylee and Brandon Armstrong, Dran and Michele Crenshaw, Elanee Crenshaw, Cole and Kate Massey, Kristin and Austin Aune, and Brian Massey; and her beloved grandchildren, Braidyn, Lily, Molly, Palmer, Demi, Parker, Billy, Dallas, and Brady.

She is also survived by her siblings, Rick and Keo Geschwend and Teri and Jimmy Monken, along with many extended family members and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Roscoe Geschwend and Carol Geschwend.

Jodie's faith was an important part of her life. She loved listening to sermons and carried that faith into the way she treated others - with kindness, compassion, grace, and an unwavering belief in finding the good in people.

Jodie loved traveling and treasured every adventure she shared with the love of her life, Jeff. From beach trips to family getaways, those journeys were some of her happiest memories because they were spent together and with the people she loved most. She also cherished holidays and family traditions, especially Christmas Cookie Day, Easter egg hunts, and gatherings made brighter because Jodie was at the center of them.

Her family and friends will remember her beautiful smile, her larger-than-life personality, her laughter, her generosity, and most of all the way she made people feel.

Jodie leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, family, and kindness. Her light will continue to shine through the family she adored, the traditions she created, and the countless people whose lives were better because they knew her.

The best way to honor Jodie is to live as she did: love your family deeply, look for the good in others, celebrate life, and always make people feel special.

Amanda Yvonne Martin

Amanda Yvonne Martin, 50, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. While her passing leaves an immeasurable void, the love, laughter, and memories she shared will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Born on July 12, 1976, to Jack and Caroline Martindale at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, Amanda was raised in Royse City, Texas, where she graduated from Royse City High School in 1994. She later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Texas, a reflection of the creativity and artistic spirit that remained with her throughout her life.

On May 6, 2000, Amanda married the love of her life, Alexander "Al" Martin. Together they shared 26 wonderful years of marriage, building a home centered on love, laughter, and family in Denton, Texas. Amanda proudly served Denton County for nine years as a detention officer, earning the rank of Sergeant through her dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment. She later served as an office manager for a service company, where she helped build and support the business from the ground up.

Amanda had a way of filling every room she entered. Her quick wit, unmistakable humor, and infectious laugh made every gathering brighter. She loved making people laugh and never missed the chance to deliver the perfect sarcastic remark or tell a story that left everyone smiling.

A true artist at heart, Amanda had a passion for photography and was almost always the one behind the camera, preserving birthdays, holidays, vacations, and the everyday moments that became treasured memories. She had an eye for style, embraced her individuality, and expressed herself with creativity in everything she did. She also loved competing in the Stroke & Hope APA League, where she built lasting friendships and shared many unforgettable memories.

Amanda was proceeded in death by her father, Jack Martindale. She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband, Alexander "Al" Martin, her children, Brook Martin and Alex Martin, and his wife, Ashleigh; her cherished grandchildren, Henry Martin, Blake Wilkes, and Liam Wilkes; her mother, Caroline Martindale; her brother, Gary Martindale, and his wife Jessica; her niece, Jaclyn Kruk; and nephew, Garrett Martindale, along with their families; and a circle of extended family members and dear friends who will forever cherish the memories they shared with her.

Amanda leaves behind a legacy of laughter, creativity, strength, and unconditional love. Though she was often behind the camera instead of in front of it, she leaves behind far more than photographs. She leaves behind a lifetime of laughter, love, and memories that will continue to be cherished by all who knew her. Her legacy lives on in every story shared, every smile she inspired, and every moment she so thoughtfully preserved.

She will be profoundly missed, forever loved, and always remembered.

A visitation will be held from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Friday, August 7, 2026 at Mulkey-Bowles-Montgomery Funeral Home, 705 N. Locust St., Denton, TX.

Helen Elizabeth "Betsy" Faulkner

Helen Elizabeth "Betsy" Faulkner, age 93, went home to be with the Lord on July 28, 2026. Her legacy will live on through the memories we shared, the values she instilled in us, and the love she gave. We take solace in knowing she is now at peace, reunited with the loved ones who have gone before her.

Born on December 6, 1932 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma to Herbert and Ida Olmsted, Betsy lived a long, full life, filled with both great hardship and immense joy. Helen is predeceased by her mother and father, her cherished step-mother, Faye Jones, her husband, Donald Lee Faulkner, and her two brothers, Robert "Bob" Olmsted, and David Olmsted.

Betsy loved gardening. She planted her first garden as the victory garden behind her family's apartment building at the end of World War II. She went on to become a Master Gardener and cultivated her life with the same attention and care she showed her flowers. Betsy had a natural green thumb and just like her collection of plants, her family has thrived under her love and affection. Betsy was the matriarch of a large family of five children, eleven grandchildren, and eleven great grandchildren, all of whom love and cherish her dearly. Her legacy is still growing, with two more great grandchildren expected this year.

Betsy retired from the University of North Texas in 2000. She then continued volunteer work and her favorite job of being a grandmother. Betsy sustained deep and meaningful friendships with her Beta Sigma Phi sorority sisters and life-long friends who felt like family. She contributed to her community and those she held dear through her work at the Denton Senior Center, delivering meals, and by transporting patients for medical treatments. She had abundant kindness and was willing to help anyone in need.

When Betsy did make time for herself, she chose to travel to the mountains, took senior bus trips, loved to reminisce about her beloved cruise to Alaska, read hundreds of mystery and romance novels, loved puzzles, and played a good game of chair volleyball. She could always be found with her crochet bag, and greeted every new grandchild with a cherished, hand-made blanket. Betsy loved snow, the color blue, the KU Jayhawks, and her family.

Betsy was also an avid sports fan. In the early years, sports from the radio filled her home. Later, you could find her watching sports on television, often texting children and grandchildren the play-by-play and outcome. She could recite the scores of any game of the week and could tell you the schedule of upcoming games. March madness delighted her. Betsy's favorite team to root for was The University of Kansas Jayhawks. She collected many forms of KU memorabilia that she proudly displayed in her home.

Her dry witted humor was always unexpected and sharp. Helen's smile reached her eyes, often hiding her bright and sharp blue eyes behind her laughing cheeks. She cherished the holidays and marked each of them with a themed outfit, purse, matching earrings, and her famous Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake. She could be found in the stands at any and every of her grandchildren's many sporting events, often with a treat or two in her purse, curated uniquely for each grandchild. Betsy's fridge was always stocked with each member of her family's favorite snacks -- a small representation of her thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

Betsy's death is felt deeply by all who knew her, because to know Betsy was to know laughter, determination, the best chocolate sheet cake you have ever tasted, hugs that melted any worries, and selfless love. As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate the joy and kindness that were the essence of her being.

A family graveside service will be held in Lawrence, Kansas at a later date.
