Sylvia Belle Beede

Mrs. Beede received her promotion into eternity on October 21, 2005 in Dumas. She graciously passed through the valley of the shadow of death and is now "absent from the body and face to face with the Lord." II Corinthians 5:8b. In a place of "no more tears, no more pain, the old things have passed away." Revelation 21:4b. This precious little motherling is a testimony to grace and a trophy of grace: SAVING GRACE; LIVING GRACE; and DYING GRACE. Saving grace: "For by grace are you saved through faith/faith alone in Christ alone\; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. Living grace: "Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3:18, and dying grace: "For me, living is Christ, dying profit." Philippians 1:21. She was born August 14, 1921 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She was a former Pampa resident, moving from Pampa to Houston, Houston to Bryan, and from Bryan to Dumas 5 years ago. She married Robert Beede on October 1, 1943 in Oklahoma City. He preceded her in death in 1968. She was a member of the Kanon Bible Church of Bryan. Missing her dearly on earth are: her daughter, Kay Cline & husband Miles of Dumas; her son, Rev. Robert L. Beede of Bryan; 2 Brothers, Marvin Gray of Lefors and Donald Gray of Pampa; 1 niece and 4 nephews.A victory celebration will be held at 2:00 PM Tuesday, October 25, 2005, at Fairview Cemetery in Pampa, officiated by Sylvia Beede's son and pastor, Rev.
