Betsy Jennings Overstreet

Mrs. Betsy Jennings Overstreet of Red Springs passed away June 17, 2011 in Wesley Pines Retirement Community in Lumberton at the age of 91. Betsy was born in Lynchburg, VA on May 4, 1920 to the late William B. and Laura D. Cassada Jennings. She felt blessed to have spent most of her 91 years bringing joy, love and blessings to all who knew her, including her late husband, Daniel Smith Overstreet. She was quite an amazing woman; who influenced the young and the old; the well educated and less educated; the rich and the poor. Her devotion to others was phenomenal; her church was her life; the love of all her friends was so real; and her uncanny devotion to her family was unprecedented. A Memorial Service to celebrate her life will be at 3:00 pm, Sunday, June 19, 2011 at Trinity United Methodist Church with Mary Frances McClure officiating. A reception following the service will be held in the Trinity United Methodist Church fellowship hall. Survivors are: 2 daughters, Sandra Young of Wagram, NC and Pam Paisley of Athens, GA; 2 sisters, Lucille Ferrell of Lynchburg, VA and Mildred Almond of Charleston, SC; 3 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, gifts are invited to be sent to Trinity United Methodist Church, 204 East Third Avenue, Red Springs, NC 28377 or to Wesley Pines Retirement Community, 100 Wesley Pines Road, Lumberton, NC 28358.
