Note: Was married before to a Boston Watson and had two daughters.
Divorced and later married my father.
Her nick name was "Kewpie" but with the southern drawl if came out "Coupie", and that nick name stuck.
She was named Kewpie "coupie" because she loved to dance and named after the Kewpie doll that always dances on the car dashboard, that friends had seen.
She never had a birth record, from the family bible only. And she never had a Social Security Card.
Her parents were cotton farmers from Chireno, Texas. They are burried in Attoyac, Texas in the Black Jack Cemetery.
She is burried beside her daughter Comal Annette Byrd in Oak Grove Cemetery, Nacogdoches, Texas.
