Obituary

Susan Elizabeth McBeth, beloved daughter and sister, died peacefully on Thursday, December 22, 2016, at age 54.  She was preceded in death by her mother, Jody McBeth, in 1993, her step-mother, Carolyn McBeth, in 2012, and her sister, Sydney McBeth, this past January.  She is survived by her father, Charles McBeth, her Godparents, Uncle and Aunt, Joe and Mary Sue Pratt, and many wonderful and loving cousins. Sydney was a talented, professional singer, but always said Suzy had the better voice.  Suzy did sing on weekends at Swan Court in Richardson from time to time, and seemed to be able to do whatever she wanted to and do it well.  In the 5th grade she, on her initiative, put together a grade school newspaper, The Heights Gazette, four or five letter-size pages with a Sports Section and other typical newspaper sections, together with a few “reporters” she recruited.  When the teachers discovered it they made and distributed copies.  About the same time she taught some of the younger kids in Vacation Bible School.  She worked in sales her adult life, and as she put it, sold “everything that’s legal.” Thank you, God, for letting us have our precious Suzy for this brief time, and the joy she brought to us. When Sydney passed away in January, Suzy and I were overwhelmed at the wonderful support from our family and friends and Sydney’s friends.  I know that there would be similar support and condolences for Suzy at her service as well, but I hope you understand that I have decided not to have a church or memorial service for Suzy.  Suzy’s ashes will be placed in the same niche as Sydney’s at the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration’s columbarium in a private ceremony at a time to be determined. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Church of the Transfiguration, 14115 Hillcrest, Dallas, Texas 75254.  When Jody died Suzy went with me to make arrangements at the funeral home, the church and other places at this most stressful time.  She took the lead in making arrangements for Sydney and gave a beautiful eulogy for Syd.  We found this wonderful church to be a haven of love and support.  I know God will grant Suzy the most wonderful blessings of heaven.  May God bless our friends and family for their help, their love and support. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    Even though Suzy and I went to Heights together, I really remember our times at West Jr. High. We both were cheerleaders – many fun practices at Height’s Park and sleepovers. The last time I saw Suzy, it was at a high school reunion. She brought Sidney. I told her that I thought she was still the most beautiful girl in school. I am glad I told her that truth! I am truly sorry for your loss.

    Cousin Charles, you are in our thoughts and prayers. The memorial from the newspaper was so nice and the picture of Susan so beautiful. Your precious daughter is already missed.

    I was thinking of the McBeth family and did some research “on line”. I am a cousin to Carol Jo Mizera McBeth. It has been years since I had any contack with Charlie. His daughters were so talented and gorgeous,,,just like their Mother.. My cousin Suann and I took Sydney & Susan to a movie when they had come to visit the family in Midland, TX. The last time I was able to see Jodie and Charles was on a trip to Dallas. So heart breaking that Carol Jo and they girls are not on this earth but in Heaven..Kathryn “ANN” ARMSTRONG Al-Jazrawi…

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
