Evelyn Earlene (Albright) Dry, of Jasper, Texas went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on January 10, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. The family will receive visitors from 4-6 pm, Saturday, January 13, 2024, at Shultz Funeral Home in Jasper. The burial will be 11 a.m. Sunday, January 14, 2024, at Holly Grove Cemetery in Holly Grove, Texas near Livingston.

Earlene was born on January 16,1939 in Baytown Texas, the last of six children in her family. She was a 1957 graduate of Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, where she lettered in band playing the clarinet. Afterwards, she studied physical therapy at Lee Junior College where she met her future husband, Aubrey Dry. She soon married Aubrey while attending college and then worked as a bank teller full time to pay tuition for her husband. After moving to Jasper, Texas in 1972, she worked as a substitute teacher for many years for the Jasper School district. When not teaching, she was a stay-at-home Mom and enjoyed caring for her children and family. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution for over 40 year and served as the local chapter president. She enjoyed traveling to Branson Missouri with her husband, friends and family, game shows and playing dominos, card games and jigsaw puzzles.

Earlene loved the time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and cared for them while their parents were working prior to them reaching school age. She taught them to read before they began kindergarten. She also loved hunting and fishing with her family, church and especially singing with the choir. She never met a stranger and loved having conversations with friends she ran across when shopping or simply running errands.

Earlene was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Aubrey J. Dry Sr., parents Earl Flemon Albright and Eleanor
Alice (Foster) Albright, her brothers Eddie Albright, Gordon Albright, and Carl Albright.

She is survived by her children, Renee Waggener and husband Clay of Jasper, Aubrey J. Dry Jr. of Jasper, Ronnie Dry and wife Gloria of Houston, and Eddie Dry and wife Brady of Seguin. Her brother, Wayne Albright of Bryan, and her sister Delores Adams of Livingston. Her grandchildren, Clayanne Spadaccini and husband Michael of Jasper, Jill Beatty and husband Cedric of Jasper, Jacob Waggener of Jasper, Lawson Dry and wife Krista of Brookeland, and Lacy Jordan and husband Derek of Splendora. Her great grandchildren, Camden and Claire Spadaccini, Braelyn and Trevor Beatty, Jaeya Waggener, and Arabella, Mary, Evelyn and Chasen Jordan.

Above all, she was the heart and soul of our family. She always encouraged her children and grandchildren in all endeavors whether they were in play, work, or school. She always stressed the importance of loving God, family, and country and to always treat others in a manner that you would like to be treated.

The family wishes to extend thanks to the staff at Advantage Plus Homecare, Harbor Hospice and a special thanks to her caregiver, Teresa Fox.

Your kind thoughts and prayers will be a blessing to her beloved family during this difficult time.
