Obituary for Beth McCollum
Susan Elizabeth "Beth" McCollum was born June 27, 1958, to Robert Lewis "Bob" and Peggy Jo (House) McCollum. She was raised in Newport, Arkansas, and lived there until moving to Houston, Texas, where she promptly discovered the best Mexican food in the state, a love for the Astros, and built a tight circle of wonderful friends, which she enjoyed for the rest of her life.
Beth was fiercely loyal, thoughtful, loving, kind, considerate, incredibly generous, independent, self-sufficient, whip smart, quick witted, and a master of sarcasm. She had a smile that would light up the room, and a laugh that invited anyone listening to join her. She was an encourager and supporter to all she loved. Beth was an accomplished horse rider, an avid reader, a lover of music, a gadget connoisseur, and had what was arguably the best collection of purses and shoes in recorded history. She also had an amazing talent for letting all those that she loved know it - never missing a birthday, a holiday, or a chance to make you smile.
She broke our hearts when she passed from this life on May 18, 2021. She was preceded in death, and likely met at the pearly gates, by her adoring maternal and paternal grandparents, Howard and Brooksie "Chick" House, and Robert "Murlie" and Kate McCollum. Beth is survived by her parents, her brother, Rob, and sister-in-law Rita McCollum, her nieces and nephews-in-law, Katie and Keith Prescott, Kristin and Mike Sullivan, and Karrah and Frank Seitz, her great-nieces and great-nephews, Allie and Wyatt Prescott, Elizabeth and Sam Sullivan, and Wade and Evie Seitz, her aunts and uncles, Betty Kate and Vance Thompson, Howard and Jimmie Rae House, and Mickey and Allison House, and her lifelong best friend and “sister”, Beverly Nix, as well as her many cousins and friends.
In everything she was and everything she did, she was the best, and she will be tremendously missed for the rest of our lives by all who love her.
Graveside services are 2:00 p.m. Monday at Sandhill Cemetery.
