Betty was born August 4, 1934 in Lenore, OK to proud parents James and May Ward.
Betty graduated from Midwest City High School. She was employed at TAFB for many years as a jet engine mechanic and took pride in her work.
After retiring, she enjoyed gardening, ceramics, jewelry making, spending time with her loved ones and her dogs.

We would like to thank Von McGee of OKC and the staff of McLoud Nursing Center for their loving and gentle care and kindness to our family.
