Delores June (Burk) Powell

Delores B. Powell, 90, of Lookout Mountain, GA went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at a local health care facility.  She was a native of Athens, TN and had lived most of her life on Lookout Mountain.  Mrs. Powell enjoyed poetry, watching the birds and rabbits in her yard, feeding the horses, and enjoying a quiet life.  One of her favorite poems was Hurry-Hurry by William K. Webb:

The hurried tempo of our times

Is causing us to strain

To keep up with the frenzied pace

That we ourselves maintain.

Someone invents a new device

To keep our time relaxed.

But we find other things to do

To keep our schedule taxed.

We have no time to meditate

On life’s most sweet refrains,

Or pause and let our spirits soar

To heaven’s high domains.

Our lives are active but not full;

Surrounded, yet alone.

But fullness comes to those who walk

In God’s own quiet zone.

-William K. Webb

She was preceded in death by her first husband, Alvin T. Cockrell; and her second husband, Frederick “Freddie” Powell.

Survivors include several nieces, nephews, and a host of friends.
