Joe was a blue-collar worker who worked at the Austin State Hospital for 50 years as the Ground Supervisor. You can still see Joes Impact at the Hospital from the various rose bushes from 45th street ranging to Guadalupe St. There is even a replicated Star in front of building 501 dedicated to his father who built the star at the State Capital. Joe seemed to always be working when he wasn't working at the hospital, you would find him maintaining the grounds at his local church, maintaining the yards of friends. Saturdays were for yard work he felt most joyous doing a good deed for others who could not do for themselves. Joe was the type that could never sit still, he always had to be doing something, but on those rare occasions where he wasn't always working. You could find him at any of the bowling alleys in Austin, he loved to bowl especially on Thursday night (league night) with friends and of course with his dad. But for Joe fishing was his number one activity to do, he absolutely loved to fish he was a freshwater connoisseur who loved to go the coast and do some Saltwater fishing. Before anything else Joe had to make sure that the Texas Longhorns or Dallas Cowboys weren't playing because nothing came before that, Joe loved his Texas Longhorns and The Dallas Cowboys and if you watched the games with him, you better have the right colors on or else. Joe loved to spend time with family and friends, especially in Marble Falls.

Bobbie O'Neal

Age - 89

Bobbie Murphy O'Neal It is with profound sadness that the family of Bobbie Luckette Murphy O'Neal announces her passing on November 23, 2023, at the age of 89. Born August 15, 1934 in Luling Texas, to parents Julius Edward Murphy and Winnie Barton Cathey Murphy. Bobbie's twin, Billie Arlene Murphy, was her lifetime companion from birth. Bobbie's life journey was shaped early by the untimely passing of her mother while giving birth, resulting in her and her twin sister being raised amidst the thin life of the Texas Oil Patch by their resilient father, loving grandmother, aunts and uncles and two wild ass older brothers, one named Mack and the other. . . they just called him Junior. Bobbie was a woman of many talents and passions. She was a graduate of Kingsbury High School, where she made a name for herself in sports, along with her sister Billie, leading their team to a State Championship in Basketball. Bobbie had a love for the simpler pleasures in life - fishing, cooking, oil painting, and the joyous sound of her honky-tonk upright piano, which she could (and did) play by ear. She also liked to drive yellow Cadillacs. Bobbie embraced life fully, celebrating Christmas and Thanksgiving with huge family parties, enjoying a good game of dominoes, and the excitement of visits to Vegas or Coushatta. Her love for travel took her to the far corners of the globe, from the rolling green hills of Ireland, the ancient culture of China, the Mountains of Switzerland, to the tropical beauty of Puerto Rico, but it was the roots of home destinations like fishing the mighty Guadalupe River, or visiting family in Leesville. . . Prairie Lee. . . Lockhart or Gonzales Texas that made her most happy. Finally, the tranquil lake place at Kingsland at Lake LBJ, where she and her beloved husband of 67 years, Denver Franklin O'Neal Jr. made a beautiful home that she loved the most. Bobbie was preceded in death by her dear husband, Denver, her parents and siblings, her poodles including Zsa Zsa and many of her kin folk and friends who (we believe) have been waiting patiently for her homecoming, so the music could begin. The Trumpets, the Harps of Gold, and maybe. . . just maybe a little "Walking to New Orleans" on an old upright piano, played by a Saint of a women who loved through her smile. Bobbie leaves behind her children Damon O'Neal and wife Donna of Kingsland, Dani O'Neal Barrington and husband John of Bastrop, and Daryl O'Neal and wife Jena of Dripping Springs Texas. As well as grandchildren: Dawn O'Neal Garner, Dev'n O'Neal Morrison, Denver O'Neal III, Demi Barrington, Lt (USAF) Mac O'Neal, Ella O'Neal as well as eight great grandchildren; Ashlyn, Ainsley and Trey Garner; Emma and Paxton Morrison; Henry, Harrison and Lily O'Neal Our mom loved flowers and gave them often, please send flowers through Frey Tags Florist or any Austin local florist. She also loved animals, please consider a donation to Austin Pets Alive Medical Triage and Wellness Clinic in the name of Bobbie O'Neal. Alternatively, a gift to the "Ella O'Neal Needs a Poodle While Living in Dallas" Fund, would also make mom very happy. Services will be held on Friday December 1, 2023 Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Oak Hill at 6300 West William Cannon Drive Austin Texas 78749 10:00 AM Visitation 11:00AM Chapel Service and 12:00 internment in the adjacent MausoleumShow more
