Neta Rae Sees

It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of Neta Rae Sees on October 04, 2025. Neta was a phenomenal mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, a loving and loyal friend and an overall remarkable human being. Neta was born November 4, 1930, in Dallas, Texas, to the late James Ben and Ruby Barron McCormick.

After graduating high school, Neta went on to attend North Texas State University where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in physical education. She began her PE Teaching career in La Marque, TX and ended it with her retirement from Garland ISD in 1990.

Neta has been the proud owner of the Barron family farm, located in the heart of the tiny metropolis of Bluff Dale, Texas, for many years. Anyone who’s known Neta knows this farm is her pride and joy, second only to her family. Over the years, Neta spent as much time there as possible, whether to just sit on the front porch enjoying coffee and welcoming the day or preparing the screened-in back porch to host another large family gathering. These porches were her sanctuary from the everyday world; to watch the deer and turkey come to graze at the always well stocked feeders, to welcome any visitor who happened to drop by for a chat, to visit with her siblings, nieces and nephews who reside(d) in Bluff Dale, to make sure she was on-time for annual cemetery working or attend a local event at the firehouse because her brother and nephew volunteered there. It was on this farm that she did most of her hunting and fishing whenever the season was upon us. Beyond her passion for the Farm and anything active and outdoorsy, Neta was an avid travel enthusiast, an awesome bridge and dominoes player, and a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, despite the last 30 years.

Neta married her sweetheart, Clarence “Bud” Sees, in 1952 and later welcomed their son Mark Wayne, the only child of their union.

Neta was preceded in death by her parents, James and Ruby; her spouse, Bud Sees; siblings, Clara “Crissy” Bramlett, George “Mack” McCormick, and Margaret Allen; brothers and sister-in-law, Henry “Shine” Bramlett, Allene McCormick, and John Allen Sr.

Neta is survived by her son, Mark Sees and wife Denise; granddaughter, Sierra Sees and husband Zane Allen; grand-dog, Tito; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Services to celebrate Neta’s well lived life will be held on Saturday, October 11th at Bluff Dale Baptist Church (425 Glenn St, Bluff Dale, TX 76433) at 2:00 PM. Family will receive guests one hour prior to service. Graveside service at Glenn Cemetery in Bluff Dale to be held immediately following the funeral service.
