Betty was a wonderful mother and it was her life’s passion. She loved to decorate for all the holidays and do arts and crafts. She was a wonderful seamstress and she could make everything from Barbie doll clothes to wedding gowns. Betty was always great with numbers due to her sharp memory. She enjoyed bowling for Wilson Foods and worked for many years as a bookkeeper for numerous companies, including Merrill-Lynch, Bell Telephone, and for Joe Bailey Cobb in the Oklahoma State Auditor’s office. Above all, she loved spending time with her family, and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
