Three children were born to R.B. and Betty; Ronnie, Eddie, and Tresa. Betty and R.B. had 20 years together before R.B. died in an accident in 1971. Betty had been a farmer’s wife for 20 years and suddenly had to take care of a farm, a cotton gin and hope her children were strong enough to finish raising themselves. They were. As her children grew into adulthood, married and had children of their own, she loved her grandchildren with her whole heart. Nothing was out of her price range if one of the grandchildren wanted or needed something. Betty became a successful artist and had her own business known as “Blooms by Betty”. She loved the friendships from belonging to the Brownfield Art Association. Many family and friends still own her work. Her other great passion was her flower garden in her yard. She spent countless hours in the yard. Betty attended church at the Church of Christ her entire life. She enjoyed the fellowship of her church family and friends she had there. The last years of Betty’s life, she struggled to hang on to her identity as the Alzheimer’s took over her mind. She never lost her sharp wit and comebacks with staff at the nursing home, doctors, and family. Betty is preceded in death by her parents, husband R.B., brother Bob and sister Ruby. She is survived by sons Ronnie of Brownfield, Eddie and wife, Carolyn of Marble Falls, and daughter Tresa and husband, Steve of Brownfield, 6 grandchildren, 9 greatgrandchildren; brother Charles Ray and wife, Wanda of Meadow, sister-in-law Genevra Smith of Lubbock, brotherin-law, Dale Andrews of Brownwood, sister-in-law Christine Askew of Lubbock and many nieces and nephews.
