Mary Beth returned to her eternal home on September 29, 2025, at the age of 93. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Boyd; her parents, William Harold and Maude; her son, Gary C. Noack; and her brothers, William H. Mussey, Jr. and wife Donna, and James E. Mussey and wife Geraldine. She is survived by her brother Gerald Mussey and wife Judy; her children Ronald (Bettye), Cynthia Raney, David (Christa), Thomas (Penny), Alan (Katy) and Roger; as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews.

Mary Beth understood the true meaning of life. She was outgoing, joyful, and playful with a warm, loving heart. Her warmth and wisdom extended to friends, neighbors, and everyone fortunate enough to cross her path.

A devout Catholic, Mary Beth was a dedicated member of St. Victor’s Chapel in Lakehills, Texas. She lived her faith through service, nurturing her community with compassion and generosity. Her compassion and dedication as a teacher’s aide to special needs children at Eisenhauer Middle School in San Antonio made a lasting impact on countless lives. Her beautiful singing voice brought joy to weddings, funerals, and gatherings—many said she sang like an angel.

She found joy and inspiration in nature, tending her garden and cherishing the beauty of flowers, trees, and the changing seasons. She breathed life into everything she touched, and her spirit was as vibrant as the world she loved. She treasured the time spent with Boyd on their many camping adventures and the restful evenings on the porch as they closed each day together.

Mary Beth had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to laugh, sharing jokes and adventures with her beloved husband and family. Whether water skiing, hiking, fossil digging at Medina Lake, or riding gocarts at the ranch—even into her seventies—Mary Beth was always up for an adventure. As the matriarch of countless family reunions and celebrations, she brought generations together with her boundless energy and love. She was a collector of hearts, inspiring affection and admiration in all who knew her.

Her legacy is one of faith, love, laughter, and kindness. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
