Preston Wade Conley

Preston was born in Big Spring Texas on August 26, 1939, the only child of Preston “Jack” and Helen Harwell Conley.

He was raised in Houston and after graduating from Jeff Davis High School in 1957 he studied at San Jacinto Junior College and E. C. C. School of Electrical Technology.

Preston worked as an electrician and a purchasing supervisor retiring from Texas Department of Human Services in 2009.

He married Beverly Pete and had daughters Cindy and Angie. He married a second time to Rosalie Cappellano and had a son Aaron.

Preston was a member of the Church of Christ.

In his retirement his greatest joy was spending time with his great grandchildren sharing his passion for donuts and blue bell ice cream. Preston always had a kind or humorous word for the ones around him, always trying to brighten someone’s day.

Preston is survived by daughters Cindy Yawn, Angie Oliver and husband Roy, son Aaron Conley and wife Linda, grandchildren; Derrek Yawn, Brad Yawn, Christopher Yawn, Candice Jansen, Amber Oliver, Sarah Hardsteen, Steven Conley, 11 great grandchildren, an aunt and numerous cousins.

Preston was preceded in death by his parents Preston and Helen Conley, Son-in-law Rip Yawn, and great granddaughter Brooklynn Grace Yawn.

The family wants to express our sincere thank you for the loving care and support provided by the staff of Swan Manor assisted living in Baytown, the nurses of Rollingbrook Rehabilitation and Traditions Hospice.

He had a particular fondness of the friendship provided by caregivers Linda, Eva, Jackie and Jodie.
