Lurah E. Nale
December 23, 1923 — May 3, 2013
Rancho Viejo:
On May 3rd, 2013, God sent his Angels to escort Lurah Ellen Nale to be with her Lord and Savior. She was born to Charles Edwin Myer and Ina Pearl Myer in Rio Hondo, Texas on December 23, 1923. She attended Rio Hondo High School where she met and married Gerad Carlton Nale who was the love of her life. They moved from Rio Hondo, Texas to Laran, Louisiana in 1973, where she worked closely with her husband to establish a successful business. She was a member of the Methodist Church and in her later years she enjoyed watching her favorite Christian TV programs.
After Gerald’s death in 1982, Lurah continued on with their business. In 1989, she retired and moved to Georgetown, Texas. While in Georgetown, she volunteered much of her time at the Stonehaven Senior Center. In 2006, she moved to Rancho Viejo, Texas. She spent most of her life caring for her family and friends. Her hobbies included sewing, crocheting, knitting, gardening, fishing and feeding her many hummingbirds. She will be greatly missed. She was an exceptionally caring and giving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her family and friends are so very blessed to have had her in our lives.
She is survived by her children: Gerry Waters (Ron) of Rancho Viejo, TX, Ellen Laywell (Cliff) of Bryan, TX, Eddie Nale of Farmerville, LA; grandchildren, Rhonda (Waters) Sellers (Greg) of Ed Dorado Hills, CA, Jeff Waters, Ryan Waters, Jon Waters (Karen) of Rancho Viejo, TX, Kim McFall (Grant) of College Station, TX, Paul Laywell of San Antonio, TX, Sarah Nale of Laran, LA, Crista Nale-Eubanks (Alton) of West Monroe, LA, Thad Nale of Laran, LA, Missy Pace (Jonathan) of Austin, TX, Michelle Holley (Shoan) of Waco, TX; and 17 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald C. Nale, daughter, Linda McMurtry, son-in-law, Jim McMurtry, parents, sister, Evelyn Howe, brothers, Jack Myer, Paul Myer and Jimmy Myer.
Lurah will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband in Laran, Louisiana at a later date.
