Owedia “Bo” Cordez Sthram Coufal, formerly of Kingsville and Mathis, died January 9, 2021.  Bo was born to Roy and Henrietta Sthram in Hull/Daisetta Texas on July 16, 1932, the fourth of seven children.  Bo graduated from Big Sandy High School in 1949 and enrolled in Nursing School.  Shortly thereafter, she met Joe Coufal and the couple was married on July 28, 1951 in Reno, Nevada.

Above all, Bo was a Mother:  to her four sons, her grandchildren, their children, her siblings, her extended church family and neighbors, her classmates, and her community.  She excelled at providing for and nurturing others.
