Betty R. Horton

Collins in Wynne, Ar. Betty accepted Christ at an early age. On July 30, 1949, Betty married the

Love of her life, the late Joe Louis Horton. From this union came eight children who she loved

dearly.

Betty and her family moved to Marion, IN in 1951. After moving to Marion, IN Betty joined Calvary

Missionary Baptist Church where she faithfully served the Lord for over sixty years until GOD

called her home. Betty worked for Owens Illinois for many years until she retired.

Betty loved selling Avon; she sold Avon so much she became the Queen of Avon. Betty was a

member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Lady Ester #7 for over fifty years.

Betty loved her family and friends which they all loved her. Betty will be missed by all who knew

and loved her. Betty always looked forward to Holidays and family cookouts because she knew she

would be spending time with loved ones. Betty hobbies were crocheting blankets, putting puzzles

together, and going to bingo with her children and grandchildren where she was luckier than

them. When you stopped by to see her, you could always catch her watching a western or two.

Collins, siblings, Annie Mae Mayweather, Wesley, John Henry, Page Jr., Frank, Billy, Ben, Charles
