Edward Victor Powers

Eddie, or “Ed” or “Doll” as he was also known by friends and family, was born in Madison, GA on January 7, 1941 to Elmer and Stella Lucille Powers. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his siblings, Mattie, Clara, Cecil, and James; and brother-in-law, Bill Smith.

While taking weekend leave from Randolph Air Force Base, Ed saw Carol Ann Powers (Borgfeld) on the dance floor at Gruene Hall and was lucky enough to convince her to marry him on March 20, 1965 in New Braunfels, TX. They were married for 57 years before he passed and had one child, Victor Powers. His family will remember him for being a hardworking man who never complained and loved his family. He was the type of person to always be quick with a joke. Most weekends you could find Ed playing a game of poker with friends and family.

Ed is survived by his wife, Carol Powers, son, Victor Powers, siblings, Stella, Jesse (Odessa), Margie, Mary Ellen (Jean), Leila, and Bobbie; sister-in-law Cynthia Smith; his nieces and nephews and a whole host of “adopted” nieces and nephews in Houston, TX.

The Powers family would like to thank everyone who has given their time, love, condolences and support during this time.
