Betty worked as a cosmetologist for most of her adult life in Dermott, Arkansas. She was active member of Dermott Baptist Church, Dermott, and Second Baptist Church, Monticello. Her spiritual gift was service and she always followed God's will in serving her church any way she could.

There will be a graveside service for immediate family only.
Visitation will be held at Second Baptist Church in Monticello on Saturday, July 29, 2023, at 12:30 p.m. followed by a Celebration of Life Service at 1:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made in her memory to the Second Baptist Church, Monticello, Building Fund. (1032 Old Warren Road, Monticello, AR 71655).
