Anita C. Sowell formerly of 923 Stratford & 1501 Lavonia, Pasadena, Tx. passed on to be with the Lord on March 9th 2018. She was buried alonside her husband Oran in Woodlawn Cemetery, Houston, Tx on March 14th. Mom & dad attended South Houston Bible Chapel for many years before attending Manvel Bible Chapel. Mom had the pleasure of working in the Pasadena school system alongside her coworkers as an aid for deaf & handicapped children for 35years before retiring.

Beloved wife of Oran A. Sowell for more than 30yrs who passed away in 1985. Both of them came to know the Lord early in their relationship together. They were changed in that moment, throughout their life together, now, and forever by the simple recognition that Jesus, the lamb of God, came & died to clear away any obstacles between themselves & God, nothing more, nothing less. That Jesus is the way, the truth, & the life. The savior of the world. That witness, testimony, & faith was manifest to and permeated the lives of their children, grandchildren, and continues to do so in their great grandchildren, and others as well. She is survived by sister Ruby Crenshaw, daughter Geneva Ford, Husband Erin Ford, daughter Diana Selby, Husband Mike Selby, daughter Donna Welborn, Husband Ron Welborn, son Charlie Sowell, Wife Emmy Sowell, son Gary Sowell and numerous grand children, great grand children, nieces & nephews. Mom & Dad took great pleasure in raising their family in Pasadena. Thank you to all those who played a part in their lives there.
