Twila Savage Herring, Age 92, a longtime resident of Devine, went to be with the Lord on May 8, 2026.

She was born on March 1, 1934, in Indiahoma, Oklahoma, to her parents R.E. and Dollie Mae Savage.

Twila graduated from High School in 1951 and then went to business school in Fort Worth, Texas. Before returning to Devine, that is when she met the love of her life, Lawrence Herring. They were married on September 14, 1952, and were married for 53 years until the passing of Lawrence in 2005. During their life together, they loved to travel. Mostly with their camper to the Frio River with family and friends.

They had two sons - Scott Herring (Sherry) of Devine, Texas, and Todd Herring (Jennifer) of Holliday, Texas. Her grandchildren, Wes Herring, Nicole Herring Suhr (Johnny), Maeley Herring Stroupe (Cal), and Jack Herring (Maggie). Along with her great-grandchildren, Karma Herring, Lennon Herring, Carson Suhr, Caroline Suhr, Hallie June Herring, and Layton Avis Stroupe.

Twila is preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence Herring; her parents, R.E. and Dollie Mae Savage; and her four brothers, Howell, Tharon, Don, and R.E. Savage, Jr.

She is survived by her Sister Beulah Anderson and many nieces and nephews, whom she loved very much.

Twila was baptized at a young age at First Baptist Church and was a devout Christian all her life. She served as WMU President, GA Leader, Sunday School Teacher, was in the choir, and was a soloist for her church, weddings, and funerals.

Twila began her working career as a teller for Medina Valley State Bank in 1952 until 1969, when her husband, who worked for Shell Oil Company in Bigfoot, Texas, was transferred to Karnes City, Texas, during the oil boom in that area. Twila began working for Karnes County National Bank in Karnes City in 1969, until 1977, when they moved back to Devine, Texas. In 1978, they opened a Sears Catalog store in Devine, and in 1979, their son Scott joined them in the business. It was open until 1993 when Sears closed their catalog division in the United States. Twila took a little time off but became bored staying home, so she went back to her favorite job as a teller at Medina State Bank until her retirement in 2005.

Twila was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease around 2010. In 2015, she moved in with Bennie and Beulah Anderson until 2021, when she moved into an assisted living facility in Lytle, Texas. In 2022, Twila moved to Argent Court Assisted Living in Jourdanton, Texas, which she loved very much. To make matters even better, her sister Beulah moved into Argent Court in 2023 and made her life better with her sister close by.

She attended church service at Argent Court every Sunday and knew all the songs by memory even with her mind beginning to fail. Twila loved living even in limited conditions. Her life at Argent Court was happy times but that is no surprise because her whole life was happy times.

Twila was ready to participate, whether it was riding a float at the Cowboy Homecoming Parade or posing for glamour photos. She was loved by the hospice nurses as well as Argent Courts nursing staff, administrators, and the other residents. When they saw her, they just had to give her a hug. She will be deeply missed but we know she is with her Lord and Savior and all her loved ones and friends.

Services will be held on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, with visitation beginning 10:00 AM and funeral service starting at 11:00 AM at the First Baptist Church of Devine with interment to follow in Evergreen Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Wes Herring, Jack Herring, Johnny Suhr, Carson Suhr, Dal Anderson, Wayde Anderson, Cal Stroupe, and Bill Bain.
