Mrs. Powell was born April 20, 1939, in Cleburne County, Ala. to the late William L Beck and Lula Mae Beck. She was honored to be a stay-at-home mom dedicated to her husband and family. She served the Lord Jesus Christ and the Body of Christ through music ministry. She played the piano for churches in Japan, and numerous states as she and the family traveled while her husband served in the USAF.

She blessed her family working with her hands, sewing, creating crafts for church, Sunday School and Vacation Bible Schools for most of her life. She never missed being in church demonstrating her love for the Lord and being an example of faithfulness. Her life was a testimony of God’s grace and mercy and power. She was a member of Safe Harbor Church in Macon, Ga.

She loved her family dearly and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
