Vera Jo was born November 10, 1930 to Joe Rogers and Vera Thomas Rogers and graduated from Lockney High School in 1948 with honors. She attended Texas Tech in Lubbock and Lippert’s Business College in Plainview. On January 20, 1950, Vera Jo married Donnie Gene Bybee at the First United Methodist Church in Lockney, Texas and she was a lifelong member of that church. Some of Vera Jo’s favorite past time were square dancing the two steps and waltzing with husband Donnie. She also enjoyed playing Bridge and 42 and writing a news column in the Lockney Beacon. In fact, she wrote this obituary and made sure her children had it along with the photo she wanted used. Another love of Vera Jo’s was doing family research. She was a member of Mary McBain’s Genealogy Society in Plainview and Buffalo Grass Society in Floyd County. Vera Jo was proud of her 18 Revolutionary ancestors. Some of her most treasured memories were when she watched her children and grandchildren in their activities.
Vera Jo was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Vera Rogers, her husband, Donnie Bybee and a sister, Oddie Probasco and a son in law, Gary Faries.
She is survived by daughter, Dara Faries of Decatur, son, Louie Bybee and wife Cynthia of Plainview, and daughter Becky McPherson and husband Steve of Lockney, 6 grandchildren, Kara Faries Womble and husband Robert, Clint Faries and wife Millie, Bryan Bybee, Tyler Bybee and wife Amy, Matt McPherson and wife Megan and JW McPherson and wife Stephanie, and 9 great grandchildren, Kitson and Kalla Womble, Irelyn and Whitton Faries, Jay Bybee, Payce, Elle, Kennedy and Erin McPherson.
