He was born on April 5, 1936, in Healdton, Oklahoma to the late Benjamin Rowland (BR) & Hope Vashti (Michaels) Beall. Bennie was a 1954 graduate of Healdton High School where he played football, the tuba and was a member of the glee club. He attended Abilene Christian College and University of Oklahoma before going on to attend the Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery in Kirksville, Missouri. Bennie was in the Atlas Fraternity and earned his D.O. degree in 1962. He served his internship in Tulsa before relocating to Mineola, Texas, where he went into practice, and would be serving and caring for the Mineola community for years to come.

Bennie built and opened the Mineola Medical and Surgical Clinic in 1971, which was open for 38 years. He also served as Chief of Staff at Mineola General Hospital and later at Cozby-Germany Medical Center in Grand Saline. After leaving Mineola, he served as the Medical Authority for Denton County before formally retiring in 2017. Bennie’s genuine concern for others and incredible bedside manner exuded his servant heart and attitude.

Bennie built a wonderful life with his family. He married the love of his life, Dianne, on June 17, 1983, and together they nurtured, loved and educated their five children. His dedication and love for his family ran deep; he was a proud father and grandfather. Bennie enjoyed camping trips and traveling, around the country and the world, especially in the RV after retirement. He and Dianne enjoyed the New Orleans culture and the art, food, and music the city had to offer.
