Betty Jean (Moore) Price, 82, of Gastonia died at home peacefully under the care of Gaston Hospice. Betty was a simple woman who had a simple life. She worked hard in textiles to raise six children, mostly as a single mom. Family was everything to her. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great and great-great grandmother.
