Eula Mae Hannah Childs was born the youngest of three children on March 2, 1930 to Seth Batson Hannah and Ollie EulaVenable Hannah in Normangee, Texas. She went home to be with her Lord and Savior on January 12, 2022.

She lived on the family farm until her father's untimely death when she was 12. And, after her mother also passed away a few years later when she was 17, she went to Mary Hardin Baylor for a year. After that year, her brother helped her relocate to Houston, Texas, and helped her get her first fulltime job at Old National Insurance Company. There she met and married her future husband, James Grant Odell Childs. They had two children, a daughter, J. Candace (Candy) Childs O'Mally and a son, John Patrick Childs (known as either Pat or John).

They moved from Houston to Dallas (where her son was born) to Texarkana (Texas), finally permanently relocating to Houston, living in the same house for 54 years.

After the children were a little older, she went to work for Southern Clinic in Texarkana, then Glen Valley Clinic in Houston, and finally for Baylor College of Medicine, retiring after 30 years. While there, she worked in the departments of Neurology, Otorhinolaryngology, and finally Ophthalmology. In addition to her regular workload, she worked on Project Orbis, The Cataract Congress and a member of Health Meeting Planners. After retiring, she was an Ombudsman for the State of Texas for ten years.

Her family joined Sagemont Church, it is believed as charter members, in 1967. In addition to attending Sunday School and church services regularly, she also taught third grade and adult ladies Sunday School classes and also was the storyteller to children ages three and younger for years. Even though she ultimately could not attend church activities in later years because she could not hear or get around very well, one of her greatest joys was the visits and calls of her special church family.

She leaves behind her daughter, her grandson and his wife, Tyler and JulieAnna O'Mally, her granddaughter, Rachel Ann Childs, andher daughter-in-law, Karla Shelton Childs Boyer and husband, Roger Boyer, and her stepson and wife, Bob and Stephanie Childs, as well as beloved nephews, their families, in-laws, and a host of other family and friends.

What a glorious reunion she is having right this very minute with her husband, son, mother, father, brother, sister, in-laws, and nephews who have gone on before her!

Please join us in person or in spirit for a celebration of her wonderful and blessed life.
