Olen Leroy Hubley ---June 20, 1920 –September 6, 2009 Leroy was born in Ranger, Texas on June 20, 1920, to Evelyn and Clarence St. John Hubley. His formative years were spent in San Antonio, Texas. As a young man, Leroy joined the fight for U.S. independence, participating in World War II and serving in the Pacific Theatre. Leroy was Honorably Discharged from the U.S. Army October 21, 1945. On return from the War, he met Frances Louise Davis in March 1946, and they were married July 6, 1946, at the McKinley Avenue Methodist Church in San Antonio, Texas. To this union were born two sons, Dohn Davis Hubley and Derek Frank Hubley. The family made their home in San Antonio, Texas. For 36.5 years he was employed by Southwestern Bell. During this time, Leroy's dream of becoming a minister came to fruition as Southwestern Bell allowed him to take summers off to attend The Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and do correspondence courses during the spring and fall. In 1963, Leroy was ordained as a Methodist minister, acting as the Chaplain for Southwestern Bell until his retirement in 1984. Leroy's first church was Parita United Methodist Church in San Antonio. He then was transferred to Alamo United Methodist Church where he spent 15 years as pulpit minister until the church was closed, and then on Gaddis Memorial United Methodist Church in Comfort, Texas. He was frequently called upon by the Methodist Conference to fill in for churches without a minister, quite often conducting two services each Sunday morning. Leroy stayed active in the Ministry until he was unable to walk on his own. Reverend Hubley is survived by his wife of 62 years, Frances Louise; son and daughter-in-law, Dohn Davis and Tonya Latrelle Hubley of San Antonio; son, Derek Berlin of San Antonio; granddaughter, Heather Dawn Ross and her husband Peter James of Lake Stephens, Washington; brother-in-law, Frank Davis, II and wife Glenda of Luling, Texas; Allen Davis and his wife Kim of Luling, Texas, and niece Margaret June Miller of Houston, Texas; and God-Daughter, Sandy Epp-Faught of Spring Branch, TX. He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Evelyn and Clarence St. John Hubley, brother and sister-in-law, Clarence and Dot Hubley, and nephew Frank Davis, III. Those fortunate enough to share in Leroy's life will cherish the things most important to him-family and thoughtful caring with respect shown to those in need. Visitation will be held on Thursday-September 10, 2009 at 12:00 Noon, with a chapel service beginning at 1:00PM at the Fred Tips Mausoleum Chapel in Mission Burial Park North, 20900 IH-10 West, San Antonio, Texas 78257.
