Bette Mynette Stone

She was born June 25, 1937 in El Paso, Texas, the daughter of the late Louis Russell Harding and Elizabeth Osborne.

Bette Mynette was a graduate of Texas Western College in El Paso (now UTEP) and earned her Master’s Degree in Education from North Texas University. Mynette worked as an El Paso High School Guidance Counselor from 1975-1979. She dedicated herself to help her students achieve academic success. On most days you could find her walking the halls of EPHS to check on her students and teachers. Mynette always fought extra hard for students who struggled with classes and life and encouraged them to always stay on track with their education no matter what. She was always there every step of the way to help them achieve that goal. She was a trusted friend and true guidance counselor in every since of the word. After moving to Dallas, Mynette was a counselor in the Dallas Independent School District for many years before retiring.

She was preceded in death by her father, Louis Russell Harding of El Paso, mother Elizabeth Osborne of Dallas and her brother, Eugene Harding of Camarillo, California.

She is survived by her brother, Russell Harding of Austin, and by many cousins, nieces and nephews she loved very much.
