Biography

Cape Jasmine "Sanny" Hughes was born 28 Oct 1895 in Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA to Abraham “Abe” Hughes (1872 - 1917) & Fannie May Williams (1874 - 1961).^[1][2][3] She had one brother & two sisters:

Lemuel Fay Hughes (1893-1986)

Antha Corrine Hughes (1898-1957)

Azalee Hughes (1906-1998)

There have been various spellings of her name in the census rolls, especially her middle name, and even within the family: Jasmine, Jesmine, Jesmire, Jasmen, Jesmer. She went by the last name of Sinclair most of the time after her divorce from Lloyd Sinclair. She was called Sissy by brother & sisters, Sanny by HC's side of the family, & Jackie by James Ray's side.

She was of Protestant faith, but I never heard her profess any particular denomination, and played the piano for many churches.

I don't known her true hair color, but I believe it was auburn, as she dyed her hair reddish auburn from any time I can remember. She had hazel eyes, 5"6" tall, and around 150#.

When we were first married she would bring just enough groceries that it would not seem like charity and would invite us to dinner towards the end of the month. We would have had a much harder time had it not been for her.

Sanny passed away 27 May 1990 in Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA and is buried at Grove Hill Cemetery in Dallas, Dallas, Texas.^[4] My one trip to Grove Hill Cemetery, while in Dallas, showed this to be the worst cemetery for assistance that I have dealt with. I failed to find their grave site but fortunately someone else did and placed it on Find A Grave. ^[5][3]

Yes, she is buried at Grove Hill Cemetery, Dallas, Dallas, Texas, USA. The reason she is buried by Woody and not Homer is that in their divorce settlement, Homer got the lots at Restland. However, Irene White (Dial - Homer's third wife) offered to trade her lot at Restland for Sanny's lot at Grove Hill so that she could be buried next to Homer. But, it made Sanny mad and she wouldn't have anything to do with it. So, that is why Sanny isn't buried next to Homer.^[6]
