Reflections of a life well lived

On February 26, 1931, in Emory, Texas the 5th child was born to the late Jim and Minnie (Jernigan) Hubbard. They named him Tom Ray (T. R.) Hubbard.  The family later relocated to Wolfe City, Texas.

Tom attended Clark High School in Ladonia, Texas, where he graduated in May 1950. After graduation,

he relocated to Dallas, Texas.  Tom served in the U. S. Army with an honorable discharge.

Tom united with Bexar Street Baptist Church where he served with the Usher Ministry. Later he moved his membership to Munger Avenue Baptist Church where, he was a member of the Deacon Board, Trustee Ministry, Usher Ministry, Brotherhood/Men’s Movement and Sunday School Teacher until his health failed.

Tom was an avid golfer, loved playing dominos and fishing.

Tom met and married Marilyn Bennett in December 1972.  The Lord blessed them with 3 children,

Matthew, Timothy and Amelia.  They were married for 49 years.

Tom retired from Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), and later pursued employment with the United Stated Postal Service for a number of years.

Tom was preceded in death by his lovely wife Marilyn, both his parents, six brothers and two sisters.

Those left to cherish his memories are: Two sons Timothy Hubbard of Dallas, Texas, Matthew Hubbard of Washington, D. C. and his daughter, Amelia Hubbard of Dallas, Texas; one grandson, Dyvaryn Hubbard, (serving in the Military); two sisters, Laura Carroll of Crowley, Texas, Elmora Whifield of Lancaster, Texas; one brother, Harold (Marion) Hubbard, of DeSoto, Texas; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends; and his church family.
