Cecile Madeline Balfour

Cecile was a native of Michigan, born October 31, 1929 to Don and Aleta Harley. Cecile, one of four very feisty sisters known as the Harley Girls, married John H. Balfour, Jr. in 1948 and moved to Arlington, Texas in 1951 where they owned and operated their family business, Johnny Balfour Electronics, Inc., and raised their three children. Left behind to cherish her memory is her son John H. Balfour, III, who cared for her night and day in her later years, daughter Nancy L. Joiner, son-in-law Jury G. Still, sisters Vernabell Wheeler and Lowana Wheeler, grandchildren Amy Booker, Joseph Still, Christina Speer, and Madeline Joiner, five great-grandchildren, a number of nieces and nephews, and many dear family friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, sister Melvajean Einedar, daughter Sheila Kay Still, and grandson Jury G. Still, Jr.

Funeral services for Cecile will be at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 19, 2012 at Moore Funeral Home in Arlington. Celebrant for the service will be Reverend Dr. J. Rand Certain. She will be laid to rest next to her husband on the rolling wildflower covered hills of Lakeland Hills Memorial Park in Burnet, Texas at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, February 20, 2012.
