With deepest sorrow, we share the news that Janet Salazar's mother, Betty L. Brackett Powell, has passed away.

Obituary of Betty L. Brackett PowellBetty L. Brackett Powell, 85, passed away on April 29, 2024, in El Paso, TX.
Betty was born in Stanford, KY, on July 21, 1938, to Tom and Cleo Brackett. Betty and her husband, Jack, high school sweethearts, moved their family to El Paso to pursue their decades-long involvement in the grocery business, eventually owning Big 8 Foods stores on the west side of town. She was Jack’s side-by-side partner in life and in business. Betty worked for over 15 years at the El Paso International Airport, where she was executive assistant to the general manager of Sky Chefs and was a longtime active member of the El Paso Women’s Club and multi-term president of the Desert Hills Garden Club. Betty and Jack's lives also centered around their church, first as groundbreaking members of Scottsdale Baptist Church and later as members of St. Mark’s Methodist and The First Baptist Church of El Paso.
Though she battled Alzheimer’s in her later years, Betty never lost her spark. While devastating, she didn’t let the disease take away her essence – a sassy, social, loving spirit, never to be dimmed. The family would like to thank those who lovingly cared for her.

A Celebration of Life Service will occur Saturday, June 8, 2024, at 11:00 AM at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 5005 Love Rd, El Paso, TX 79922. All are invited to attend.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Alzheimer’s Association, West Texas Chapter – www.alz.org/westtexas/donate

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.MartinFuneralHomeWest.com for the Powell family

With sincere regrets and prayers of peace for Janet and her family,

Have a favorite picture of yourself? - Westside Welcome Club will be working this year to add member's pictures to the directory. To help us, please email Molly at [email protected] your favorite, relatively new, picture of yourself that you would like to have included in the directory. The pictures will be small closeup head shots. We can crop in from whatever picture you send us. If you don't want your picture in, we will simply put a WWC Logo in your spot. We will also be taking pictures at upcoming coffees and luncheons to try to get everyone included.
