Betty was a fantastic cook and gardener who loved putting smiles on her family and friends faces by serving them delicious meals and desserts. Cornbread, home grown vegetables, and sweet tea was a typical meal. Homemade soups were also her specialty. Banana Bread was also a special treat she distributed to her doctor, nurse, dentist, hair dresser, and anyone who performed some service for her. Betty loved Jesus and the promise of going to Heaven and all that encompasses. She lived on a 32 acre farm for over 33 years with her husband raising cows and growing vegetables. She had a stroke 2 plus years ago and has been living at The Fellowship Home in Milledgeville. There she made many new friends with the other patients and Fellowship staff. She was loved by many and will be remembered as a sweet lady who blessed all that were fortunate to truly know her.

In lieu of flowers, the family request you make a contribution to Betty’s favorite charity St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

A Graveside Service For Betty will be held Sunday, January 12, 2025, 2:00 P.M., at Lawnwood Memorial Park, 1111 Access Road, in Covington.
