He married Edith Hasty on April 7, 1932, in Paint Rock. J.B. moved to San Angelo with his family as a youngster. He always enjoyed telling the story of the move and how amazed he was to first spot the bright lights from the "big city" of Angelo while still 20 miles from town. As a young man, J.B. worked at jobs ranging from construction work to fuel deliveries. During World War II, he was a Civil Service employee and repaired airplanes both at Goodfellow Air Force Base and at Pyote Air Force Base. After the war, he attended Mrs. Carson's Business College in San Angelo. In 1948, he bought the general store in Vancourt. J.B. operated the country store and served as the community's postmaster until his retirement in 1971. The general store-post office was the gathering place for the community. J.B. enjoyed serving and visiting with friends and neighbors from the area, as well as the travelers who pulled off of Highway 87 to stop at his store. After retirement, J.B. sold the store, but he kept his home in Vancourt. For years, he and Edith traveled the country, sometimes with friends and sometimes by themselves. They especially enjoyed fishing trips to places like Kingsland and Falcon Lake. They also enjoyed playing dominos and visiting with friends and family. Retirement gave J.B. time to devote to woodworking. "Piddling" in his backyard workshop, he created heirlooms like handmade dulcimers and unique furniture. Edith and J.B. moved back to San Angelo in the early 1990s when his health began to falter, but his heart always remained in Vancourt.

The family is grateful for two wonderful people who helped J.B. during his final illness: his special niece, Peggy Hasty, and his friend and Hospice of San Angelo nurse, Wanda Lange.

Funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Monday, March 31, in the Robert Massie Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Phil Steinbach, of First United Methodist Church, officiating. Burial will follow in Mertzon Cemetery. Verna B. was born in Sherwood, Texas, the 11th child of Fayette and Annie Grey White Tankersley. She was raised in Mertzon and attended school there - where there is evidence that she was a member of the girl's basketball team. After graduation from Mertzon High School, Verna B. attended Howard Payne College and later CIA, which is now TWU in Denton, Texas. Verna B. and Reginald Atkinson married in Marfa, Texas, where they started their life together, ranching. After ranching near Marfa, Rankin and Texon, they moved to Irion County where they settled permanently. They spent their life together ranching, focusing on raising Registered Herefords and Rambouillet Sheep. Together, Reg and Verna B. were members of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association, and American Hereford Association and were widely known and recognized for producing quality livestock. Verna B. was a member of the Home Demonstration Club, and was an avid supporter of 4-H and other activities that supported youth. Together, she and Reg established the Atkinson Sportsmanship a-ward at Mertzon High School and chaperoned numerous senior trips from Mertzon High School. Verna B. preferred to be a silent supporting force in the background, always supporting and encouraging kids. As an active hardworking woman who ranched beside her husband, Verna B. inspired her nephew and nieces to be stewards of the land. She strongly believed in her father's admonition "Take care of the land, and the land will take care of you." She enjoyed hunting and fishing, and there are many tales of fishing and hunting trips with her and Reginald. Recently, her great-nephew, Boyce Tankersley III, commented on the influence Verna B. and Reg demonstrated by their private efforts with the conservation of the land, brush control, restocking Spring Creek with fish at their own expense, and working on the numbers and quality of deer and turkey in their pastures before the general population embraced these types of efforts. Verna loved a good joke and had a twinkle in her eye for her family. She worked hard and respected others who worked hard. Leading by example, she didn't have much time for slackers. We miss her. She was preceded in death by her husband, Reginald Atkinson; her parents, Annie White and Fayette Tankersley; grandparents, Richard Franklin Tankersley and Annie Ellen Tankersley and grandparents, Sarah Burns White and W.H.
