JOY JANE WEEKES FELAN, 65, school secretary,
passed away on Sept. 26, 2026, with burial in the
West End Cemetery at Stephenville, TX.
Joy was born in Ranger, TX on July 24, 1961 to Joe B.
(RHS-1933) & Marjorie (Moon) Weekes. She attended
Ranger High School in the Class of 1979 and married
Alfred "Trey" Felan III in Dec. of 1991 in Ranger.
Joy was a member of the First Baptist Church. She
was a faithful member of the S.A.L.T. (Serving and
Loving Together) Sunday School class. She served
in the University Ministry for several years. She
worked side by side & supported Trey as a Fellowship
of Christian Athletes Huddle Coach. Joy was a faithful
servant of God who was always willing to help wherever
she was needed. Joy worked for Ranger ISD for 44 years.
She started out as a Kindergarten Aide. Later she moved
to the Superintendent's Office where she wore many hats.
Like at her church, she was always willing to lend an
hand wherever it was needed.
Joy did a tremendous job as a coach's wife. She always
supported Trey & his athletes. She would provide snacks
and even help them when they were sick. Again, she was
always willing to lend a hand. Joy embodied the definition
of her name because she was a joy to be around. She would
always greet you with a friendly smile and a word of
encouragement. Joy loved animals, but she loved people
even more. If she saw someone in need she would do every-
thing in her power to meet their need. She cared for her
Mom and Dad as well as other elderly family members.
Joy also enjoyed gardening, watching sports, playing card
games and helping others. She especially enjoyed spending
time with family and friends. Joy loved her Savior & Lord
Jesus Christ. When she received her diagnosis, she told
Trey that whatever happened it would be win-win for her.
She said if she got well she would get to stay with him
as well as her family and friends. She said if she didn't
get well then she would get to be face to face with her
Savior and Lord. Through this difficult time Joy remained
faithful to God. Her infectious smile, quick wit and
loving personality touched the lives of those taking care
of her in the hospital.
Survivors include her husband, Trey Felan of Stephenville;
sister, Betty Jo Weeks Goleman (RHS-1968) of Wisconsin;
and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-
nephews.
