Ellen Wayne was my Great Aunt. I remember her as being a kind sweet lady. My earliest memory is when the family lived on West Gate (Mi. 6) and my family was invited to their home for supper. My brother, William Thomas Boyd, is named after our Great Great Grandpa Boyd who was her father.
I remember meeting Mrs. Snyder for the first time, after many years of friendship with her daughter Diana, in the house in Boerne. I thought of her as a classy lady who enjoyed cooking delicious meals and desserts, attending church weekly, and visiting with her friends. Diana always commented on how much she loved singing in the choir. As soon as I walked into her house it felt like home. It was uncanny how similar everything was to the way my own parents house felt. I hope you are dancing and singing with your loved ones in heaven. Love and prayers to the family❤️

Wayne and I grew up together. Her name was Ellen Wayne Boyd and my name was Ellen Mae Boyd. She was my aunt, only 4 years older, so we were raised like cousins. When I was born, Dad wanted to name me "Ellen," and Mom said "Don't you know you have a little sister in Tennessee named Ellen?" "Oh, they'll never be together!" When I was four and Wayne was eight, Grandpa, Gracie, and Wayne moved to Weslaco. Of course the double name was always used to designate which Ellen was being addressed. Eventually Ellen Mae Boyd became Ellen Boyd and Ellen Wayne Boyd became Wayne Boyd. I was too young to know how it happened that I was the one to be called Ellen and she was called Wayne.
Wayne was a sweet and loving woman. We were great friends. I played the piano for her wedding to Carl Snyder and my father gave the bride away.
