the Reverend Stan Copeland officiating. Ms. Austin died Tuesday, 
September 12, 2006, in Dallas. She was born October 30, 1928, to Ras

State University in 1958, with a degree in elementary education. She

wonderful pecan tassies, her affection for the Dallas Cowboys, and her 
love for her two grandsons, Mason and Mitchell Moses. A great day for 
her and them was getting to play games together, using only her 
imagination to take them to exciting places with great adventures. Her
