My special memory was having a “nightcap” with Beth every night. Beth would always say; Hey, how bout we have two tonight! I would dig in her candy bowl to find 2 Mango (her favorite) and 2 original “Prince of Peace” ginger chews. After our chat and chew I would kiss her goodnight and tell her I loved her.
It was such an honor and privilege to have known her and help her with whatever she needed at the moment. She is greatly missed and my heart aches for her family.

Dear Mrs. Beth,
I hope this letter finds you in peace. As I reflect on the time we shared, I feel compelled to express just how much you meant to me. Your love, respect, and kindness created a warm atmosphere that made my days brighter.
I often think about the moments we spent together—your laughter, your stories, and the invaluable advice you shared. You always reminded me to take good care of myself and my family, and those words have stayed with me. I promise to carry your wisdom with me as I navigate through life's journey.
Your caring nature inspired not only me but everyone who had the privilege of knowing you. I will always cherish the lessons you taught me about compassion and resilience. You had a unique way of making everyone feel valued and loved, and I strive to embody that spirit in my own life.
Thank you for the impact you've had on me. I will forever remember you and hold you close to my heart.

Oh my, Beth Powell was such a treasure!
I was blessed with meeting her when her precious daughter Patsy and I were Kappas at SMU.
She and I shared the same birthday, December 28th, and it has always been acknowledged all these years.
She had the most beautiful eyes that sparkled, especially when she laughed, and we accomplished a lot of that over the years.
Beth was a caring, strong Christian woman who I always respected and am honored to have known and be loved by her.
No doubt, Heaven is having a party right now!
We loved our sweet Beth. What a blessing she was to so many people. We will miss you very much.
Love,
Deb and Tim
Heartfelt condolences to Beth's family and dear friends.
I enjoyed working with Beth during her years at SMU.
It always amused me to watch her "manage" her bosses, Walt Snickenberger and Jim Caswell.
Beth always had a kind word for me and a lot of good advice.
I could always get a giggle out of her by asking her about King George as she loved George Strait!
Knowing Beth enriched my career tremendously.
Beth had a generous spirit and made anyone who was in her presence feel valued and important to her. I remember how gracious she was when I met William over 20 years ago. She always wanted to make sure I was comfortable in her home. We had many great times at the Texas Rangers Baseball games cheering them on as they eventually won the World Series.
She was a true inspiration and gift to me.
With Love,
Barbara Powell
Beth was the nicest and most loving person I ever met and I am proud to have been her dear friend! The world was a better place with Beth in it but God has called her Home to be with Him! Matt. 25:23-Well done, my good and faithful servant, etc…
Much love,
Arlene
