Born July 15, 1948, in Wichita Falls, Texas, to George and Ruby Stodghill, Travis grew up in Tyler and graduated from Chapel Hill High School in 1966. On February 21, 1969, he married the love of his life, Donna Snipes. Together they built a beautiful life filled with faith, family, and adventure, celebrating 56 years of marriage. A lifelong learner, Travis earned his Bachelor’s degree from East Texas State University in Commerce and later completed Master’s degrees in Science and Educational Administration. For forty years, Travis poured his heart into education, shaping countless young lives in roles that included Agriculture Teacher, Science Teacher, Assistant Principal, Principal, and Facilities and Maintenance Director. He proudly served Elysian Fields ISD, Terrell ISD, and Scurry-Rosser ISD before retiring in 2015 from Kaufman ISD. Known for his wisdom, patience, kindness, and genuine care, he left a lasting mark on students and staff alike. After retirement, Travis cherished the simple joys of tending the family farm, worshiping and serving at Rockwall and Brin Church of Christ, and spending precious time with Donna while watching his grandchildren grow. Time with family was always his greatest treasure. Travis was proceeded in death by his parents, George and Ruby Stodghill; his sister, Janeice Hargrave; and his sister-in-law, Linda Stodghill. Left to cherish his memory are his devoted wife of 56 years, Donna Stodghill; his daughters, Angela Corder and husband Shawn, and Amy Brookshire and husband Zachary; his beloved grandchildren, Cindy, Claire, Boyce, Abel, and Eli; his brothers, Lyndon Stodghill and Dale Stodghill and wife Margie; brother-in-law Bob Hargrave; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family, former students, and dear friends who will miss him deeply. Travis lived a life of quiet strength, deep faith, and unwavering love. He will be remembered as a faithful husband, proud father and grandfather, dedicated educator, and a true servant of God. Rest in peace, Travis. Well done, good and faithful servant.
