DEE DEE HUMBERT
Edwina "Dee Dee" Humbert, age 90, of San Antonio passed away Tuesday, November 15, 2016. She was a resident of The Forum at Lincoln Heights since August 2013.
Dee Dee was born on Monday, July 19, 1926, in Anniston, Alabama, the youngest daughter of Russell & Lurlene Stephens. Dee Dee was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Rev. Jack Humbert, her sisters Kathleen Harman and Frances Finta, and one son, Stephen Humbert.
Survivors include her two sons, Rev. Chuck Humbert and wife Rebecca of San Antonio, and Kenny Humbert and wife Ruth of San Antonio; five grandchildren, Jacob & Joshua Humbert, Amy Keuten, Daniel & Clayton Humbert of San Antonio; nephews Jimmy Harman, Rev. Bruce Humbert, Dr. Mark Humbert, nieces Debbie Klosterman, Donna Najewski, Joyce Johns, Lisa Baldasre; and many beloved friends.
As a teenager Dee Dee had a variety of jobs before eventually working for Bell Telephone Company as an operator. During this time she met her future husband while visiting a US Army Base at Fort McClellan in her home town of Anniston. They dated for four weeks when Jack then proposed on a Friday and they wed the next day in Heflin, Alabama. They were married for over 58 year.
Dee Dee lived in eight different states while married to Jack. She was commissioned as an "Honorary Texas Citizen" through the State of Texas by Governor Mark White. Jack for most of his career was an executive in the railroad industry and then eventually a pastor in full-time ministry work. Dee Dee was always known as a hard worker, a fantastic southern cook, and out-going hostess, and her favorite role as homemaker to her husband and sons. She also sang a strong alto regularly in choirs of the churches she faithfully attended.

Hello sweet, dear Humbert family,
This comes late, but no less sincere. I loved all of your family, and have been saddened by reading that you have lost not only Dee Dee, but Jack, and Stephen. What a wonderful heavenly reunion there must have been when she went to be with the Lord.
It is not a surprise that so many of you have gone into the ministry. You were all excellent bible scholars, as youngsters.
You may remember me as the Lois half of the Clark Kent team back in Park Forrest, Illinois (Baptist Temple.) Real name: Sharon Curtis. My husband was John. He passed away Feb 4th, 2016. He suffered from Altzheimer's Disease, and was very ill for years.
I have such fond memories of Dee Dee. She was so down to earth, and faced life
with grace, love, and humor. She would laugh and tell me that some of her happiest times were when she was making a pound of hamburger stretch as far as she could, and she often painted humor into her stories...like the time she said
they were moving from one city to another, and drying diapers, flapping in the
wind out the window of the car. Even though she was the boss's wife she always made me feel like a sister in Christ.
It is because God used your family in a mighty way, that I know I will see my husband again. As a young bride, living in the foot hills of the Alleghany Mountains, my neighbor introduced me to Christ and I committed my life to Him at that time. John, still a practicing Catholic, wanted nothing to do with the bible, or my study group. He went so far as to throw my bible out of the window into
the snow. He demanded that no one pray for him during the study group, but of course we continued in prayer. I thought he was never going to give Jesus a chance. All along God was working in the background..John became dissatisfied with his job and sent out his resume all over the country. Jack Hummbert hired
my husband. When we moved, I was looking for a church, and was
dumbfounded when I learned that the pastor of the church I loved, was also
named Humbert. The rest is history, but praise be to God, John eventually came to Jesus, listening to God's word and Pastor Don's preaching. I know this is a miracle that you experience often, but wanted you to know how esteemed your family is held. God bless all of you until we are all a part of the ultimate reunion in heaven.
