Posted

Elizabeth Lou “Becky” Dial Halpain came to the end of life’s venture on October 3, 2024, in Jacksonville, TX. She began that venture on November 6, 1948, in Crockett, TX, the youngest of Adwin and Augna Dial’s four children.

Becky grew up a farm girl, surrounded by livestock and sometimes cotton fields. In school, her gregarious, outgoing and friendly personality kept her surrounded by friends. Ultimately, in high school she was elected cheerleader and football sweetheart along with being chosen class favorite for three consecutive years. Later, her talents and interest in art led to a degree in Art Education at Texas University in Tyler, TX. At the age of 50, she graduated Suma Cum Laude and earned her teaching degree. Becky taught high school art until her retirement from Jacksonville High.

Elizabeth was a devoted member of the Methodist Church, embodying her faith through dedicated service as the hands and feet of God.

Elizabeth married Jerry Halpain, and they enjoyed 34 wonderful years together.

She is survived by her loving husband Jerry Halpain; her brother Wayne Dial; her children; Lanier Tullos, Danny Tullos, and Robert Hughes; stepdaughters; Sara Lynne Miller and Tammy Mongillo. She is also survived by numerous nephews and nieces, seven grandchildren, one great grandchild, and another on the way. She was preceded in death by her brother Winston Dial, sister Martha Dial Safford, and stepson Michael Todd Halpain.

Elizabeth was an avid gardener and reader. She found joy and tranquility in her hobbies, which enriched her life and those around her. She spent many peaceful hours at her home on Stryker Lake.

There will be a Celebration of Life to be held Saturday, October 26, 2024, at the Edward Carter Hall in the Groveton Methodist Church between 2:00 and 4:00 PM.
