Eula Elizabeth Green

Eula Elizabeth (Beth) Green, 89, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend of Granbury, TX, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of inner strength, quiet devotion, and an unwavering love. She was born into humble beginnings on January 28, 1936, to James Cyrus Bellah and Myrtle Adell Richards Bellah in Lone Oak, TX. During those early years, she was known as Eula Beth to her family and friends in Campbell, TX. Eula Beth grew up picking cotton, learning early the values of hard work, gratitude, and resilience. She was the 2nd born of 5 siblings and was the oldest daughter. Eula Beth was a shy, soft-spoken youth who also had a competitive nature that propelled her to excel in school and sports. During high school, she was voted the most popular girl, homecoming queen, and earned the title of Salutatorian. On the basketball court, she was known for her skill and speed, donning number 23. She often joked that Michael Jordan had stolen her number, which is why he was famous.
After high school, Eula Beth married her high school sweetheart, Jimmy Green, and they had 4 children during their 20+ year marriage. During this time, they moved to Plano, TX, and she began working outside of the home.
Once she began working, she was known to most as Beth, the name she used throughout her career and family life. Beth worked as a machinist for several years, working her way up to a quality inspection supervisor for Collins Radio, Rockwell International, and Acatell. During this time, she was the only female inspector and set a path for other women in the industry. She retired after 29 years of service. As a single mother of four, Beth carried the full weight of providing for her family-never wavering. The lessons she taught her children were learned in her everyday living. At times, she worked the night shift to provide for her family, and during these times, a strong work ethic was shown to her children. Beth worked hard, saved her money, took care of the things she was afforded, and never took for granted the things she acquired during these years. Her early years would come to shape and define the way she lived her life: with quiet dignity, an open heart, and a tireless spirit, which is a testament to her loyalty and perseverance. After retiring, Beth didn't slow down. She moved to be closer to her daughter in Granbury and was able to become "Granny Beth" full-time. Granny Beth was her favorite title and job. Whether she was baking cookies, quilting blankets full of warmth, or donning silly masks to make her grandchildren laugh, she brought magic into the mundane. Her hands were rarely still-always stitching, crafting, cooking, or helping-and her heart was always open to her grandchildren. Beth lived simply but richly. She never judged others, never spoke unkindly, and never let material things define her happiness. A phone call away at any moment, she was the steady, loving presence her children and grandchildren could always count on. She didn't need praise or recognition-her fulfillment came from caring for others and knowing her family was safe, happy, and loved. Beth leaves behind her four children, Jeff (Janie) Green of Whitefish, MT; Jay Green of Melbourne, FL; Shannon (Erin) Green of Richardson, TX; Angie (Luke) Molinari of Granbury, TX and a legacy of 10 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren who will forever remember her as the heart of the family. She is also survived by her beloved brothers, Leon Bellah and Larry Bellah, and many others whose lives were touched by her quiet grace and unwavering love. She was preceded in death by her parents, sisters Linda Hogge and Rita Ray. In every quilt she made, every recipe passed down, every phone call, Beth's spirit remains. She taught us that happiness can be found in simple things, love is best shown in action, and that family-above all-is what matters most. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and cherished forever.
