She was born August 26, 1926 in Vanderbuilt, a daughter of the late Nelson R. and Melzena Lint Newell.
Betty was a 1944 graduate of Redstone Township High School.
She worked at Brichetti’s Mercantile in Clarksville before working as an admission’s clerk in the former Greene County Memorial Hospital, where she retired after 20 years.
Mammy, as she was lovingly known by everyone, enjoyed her family and sharing her faith with them. She was a Steeler fan and never missed watching the games on television. There wasn’t a flower her green thumb wouldn’t love and care for.
She was Protestant by faith.
