Betty was preceded in death by her parents.

Betty was a lifelong homemaker and nanny to many children. She enjoyed cooking, get togethers, stopping quickly for yard sales and her knick knacks. She attended the First Church of the Nazarene, in Clinton. Most of all, she loved spending time with her family, who she truly loved and held dear to her heart.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the CNAs, nurses and the entire staff of Liberty Village, along with Dr. Brit Williams for the tender care and love she received.
