University, she moved to Donna, TX and married Sam Watts in 1938. She worked as the high
school librarian, library supervisor and teacher in the Donna School District for 38 years. Mrs.
Watts was a dedicated member of the First Presbyterian Church. She moved to the Bryan/

is preceded in death by her two brothers and parents. Memorial services will be held at 11:00

lifelong advocate for animals, in lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to your favorite animal
shelter or The First Christian Church, 900 S. Ennis, Bryan, TX 77803.
I am so very sorry to learn of Mrs. Watts’ passing, she was such an awesome lady in all ways. She always was so very willing to help me in school. She loved my daddy, Max Miller, who was the high school principal for years. He thought the world of her too. He passed away in 1994 in North Carolina.
Please accept my family’s deepest sympathy.
Beau Miller
