A devoted mother, faithful servant of God, and beloved matriarch of her family.  She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family.  She was a woman of unwavering faith and a deep love of her family, which defined her life and now the legacy she leaves behind.

Betty was a lifelong homemaker and housewife, who poured her heart into raising her five children and creating a home filled with love.  She took pride in her home cooked meals that brought everyone together.

Betty was a proud, longtime member of New Hope Baptist Church, where she served faithfully on various committees throughout her life, most notably she was known as, "The Sweet Tea and Pink Lemonade Lady."
