Barbara Powell was a wonderful grandmother to all of her grandkids including myself. She will be missed dearly. I was there and helped her and she wasn’t suffering when she was getting close to meeting face to face with Jesus. She’s dancing up and down the second she got out of her body. She and her husband Curtis my grandpa have aged so much in just 10 years. He has been doing great and she was in bed or her living room chair most of her last 10 years of life. Her body was with so many problems and I know for a fact once she got to the other side she was immediately able to hear and feel great in her new body. It’s now been 7 months since that day and it’s getting easier as time goes. For anyone that sees this her husband Curtis is being cared for physically twice a day in Beaumont and he still enjoys the little things in life. Both of them were excellent as grandparents to me. I’m glad I had the time with her and will cherish it always.
Curtis, I’m so sorry to hear of Barbra’s passing. She was a dear friend–a joy to work with at Vidor Elementary. I’m praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

So very saddened to learn of Barbara’s passing. Barbara was a totally sweet, charming lady. I will miss her but I will remember her often. My thoughts and prayers are with you Curtis along with all family members.
Was so shocked and saddened when I heard that our beautiful friend had passed away. We know that she has gone on to heaven and is having a good time chatting with Jesus. We’re praying for you, the family to have peace of mind. God speed your grieving process.
Hi Mickey Roger’s, I wanna share this information with you. My dad was with her on her bedside when she was getting close to meeting Jesus. God told him that she was with him when she left her body and his composure instantly became calm when he heard His voice. It’s great news and she is indeed having the best time for the last 7 months in her new body in Heaven.
