Praise God she is FREE. She can see now! She can walk now! No more wheelchairs.
Betty Zane, 89 yrs. was born on September 23, 1932, at Parkland Hospital Dallas to Gertrude Ellen and Jesse Murdock. Betty graduated from Littlefield High School in 1950.
Betty was to be a Home Economics teacher with secret dreams of being the next Edith Head. She studied Home Economics Applied Arts; even though she didn't finish her degree we are left with her Master pieces - artwork, turned wooden bowl, enameled copper jewelry, loomed woven fabric, just to name a few. While attending Texas Tech University she met her future sister-in-law (Florene Turnbow Hill) who introduced her to Royce B. Turnbow and they married February 19th 1955. They were married for 60 yrs! Together they farmed the land she was still on and gardened and she had many talents but her Gift was cooking - World Family Famous for Friday night hamburgers/french fries, Blonde Brownies (Watkin's vanilla was her secret), BBQ meatballs and chess pie were just a few of the favorites!
Betty Zane was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Naomi, her brother J.L. Murdock Jr., her sister Virginia, her 3 brother-in-laws, her 4 sisters-in-law and 2 nephews.
Betty is survived by her sister Peggy Ann Cavazos and brother- in- law Don Davis.
Royce and Betty are survived by their 3 children Roy Dan Turnbow and Sheri of Lubbock, Ellen Frances Claborn and Don of Lubbock, Karen Ann Blanchard and Hunter of Lubbock.
Her 3 musketeer Grandchildren Shonda Ann Turnbow, Katelyn "Katie" Turnbow, Chesley Turnbow and Julie. Plus her special joy, her 1st Great Granddaughter Paizley Turnbow.
