I treasure the years we had at Oak Cliff Assembly of God Church growing up. We had so many family members there on Sundays. Miss the phone calls we had sharing our daily activities and thoughts. You will always be in my thoughts, and my heart till we are reunited again on the other side. 🙏 Bobbi Ligon

Cousins events and memories don’t pass when they leave us. I have so many. See you again one day. 

We called her Aunt Betty, but actually she was our cousin, more specifically my mother's cousin.  My grandmother was Lola Marie McNellis Fannin, sister of R.H. McNellis, whom we called Uncle Hattie. My mother was Tommie Marie Fannin Stringer, Lola's daughter. There probably aren't too many from this side of the family that remember us.  We called Uncle Hattie and Aunt (Pauline) Pete's  sons and daughter Uncle L.J., Uncle Richard and Aunt Betty. Uncle L.J. was named after 2 of Uncle Hattie's sisters, Lola and Jewel. Their other sister was Fay. Aunt Jewel moved to Quinlan and lived with my parents until she passed away. Uncle L.J. was crazy about our Poppa and often came to visit with him. When we were kids we'd occasionally see Tony and Diane (she was called Dizie (not sure how it was spelled) when she was little. It was Uncle L.J and Aunt Doris we saw most often. Aunt Doris was so beautiful and always sweet to us she also sang and played the piano beautifully. 
Fast forward many years, we moved to Quinlan and my sons, Chad, Billy, David & Jason Smith went to school with Uncle Richard's sons, I can't remember their names, except knowing they all started with the letter T and I'm sorry, but I can't remember their mom's name either.  After the boys' dad past away I remarried and added 2 stepsons to the family who were into high school rodeo. My in-laws co-founded the Lone Star High School Rodeo Association.  It was there I saw Diane compete and also saw Aunt Doris. It really is a small world after all. I'm not sure why I wanted to share something here, but I wanted to say  loved Aunt Betty and will miss our phone calls. She often came to see us when we lived in Dallas and the boys were younger. We talked fairly often and she always asked how everyone was. Said she was waiting for the Lord to take her home. I talked to her not too  long before she passed away, but before she went to stay in the nursing home. 
The picture below is of me, my husband and all 6 of our sons.

My grandmother was Margaret McNellis Guynes. My Grandfather William (Forge) Guynes. Betty’s Dad was the son of Robert McNellis, his Mother Betty Guynes McNellis. Our last visit together was 1996. I am so sorry to hear Betty has passed away. We have stayed in touch over the years. We went to Oak Cliff Assembly of God church over the younger years along with a number of extended family. We talked by phone frequently. I’m going to miss our conversations about family. She will be in my heart till we meet again. Our prayers for the family. Barbara Seals Ligon.

I have known Betty for many years..not only at the Gospel Lighthouse church, but Betty  attended the Mountain View senior center for a long time..my husband would pick her up in the van along with the others..Betty  was a great blessing..she had a quiet spirit , but always a kind word..a precious saint of God..she will be missed
