Betty Ray Wolfe

November 9, 1943-October 8, 2024

Betty Ray (Clower) Wolfe of Vero Beach, Florida went home to be with the Lord on October 8, 2024. Born in Montcalm, West Virginia, to David Clower and Ethel Mae Taylor, Betty was a radiant presence who touched the lives of everyone around her.

She graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School, where she proudly served as a majorette and trumpeter in the marching band. Her journey continued at Beckley Junior College, where she demonstrated her spirited nature as a cheerleader.

In 1962, Betty moved to Melbourne, Florida where she began her career at Harris Corporation before dedicating herself to her family as she raised three cherished daughters. In 1977, the family relocated to Vero Beach, where Betty enjoyed a successful career working for Burdines department store, specializing in cosmetics. For the past 17 years, Betty was employed at Belk department store where she earned recognition from Estee Lauder as top sales associate. She cultivated a following with thousands of loyal customers who appreciated her expertise and personal touch.

Beyond her career, Betty enjoyed many hobbies throughout her life, including gardening, playing cards, bowling, reading novels, and watching Jeopardy. An avid football fan, she passionately cheered for both professional and college teams, especially the West Virginia Mountaineers. Betty gave back to her community by volunteering with the Arthritis Association of Indian River County and a women’s shelter in Brevard County.

Her faith played a central role in her life. She was a dedicated member of Vero Christian Church, participating in the women’s Bible study group.

Betty’s warmth, kindness, and unwavering support will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

She is survived by her daughters, Lisa (Scott) Lambeth, Lana (Greg) Harp, and Lena Hayward. She was a proud grandmother to Adam Lambeth, Andrew Lambeth, Justin Harp, and Chance Hayward. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother, Robert David Clower. She was also predeceased by the father of her children, Don Jerry Fink, and her former husband, George T. Wolfe.

You will forever be in our hearts, Mom. Thank you for a lifetime of unconditional love.

A private family graveside service will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens on October 21, 2024.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the American Heart Association or the Senior Resource Association.
