Earlene Beaty Hendricks, born July 8th. 1925 to Pierce and Nona (Sawyer) Beaty in Aubrey, Texas , went to be with our Lord and Savior on _May 28, 2009. She died peacefully in her home in McKinney, Texas surrounded by her loved ones. As she herself would exclaim “at the age of plenty nine.” As indicated, she lived life to it's fullest and approached each obstacle with humor. She entered matrimony in 1943 with Gene F. Hendricks. Earlene's lasting life legacy was adherence to the simplistic, but profound truth, to treat others as one would want to be treated. All who were privileged to know Earlene were greeted and embraced with total acceptance. Earlene loved life and met each day with strength, faith and a beautiful smile. She devoted her early adulthood to her immediate family. Her abundant love for others over flowed and she incorporated “The Turners,” Diane, Tommy, Allison, Travis and Jamie into her loving life and arms. Earlene was preceded in death by her parents, Pierce and Nona Beaty; husband, Gene Hendricks; sisters Johnnie Clark, Ruby Garner and Babe Strebeck and one brother, William Earl Beaty; half brother, Bertle Bailey and half sister, Johnny Clark.
