Betty Ann Cleveland

At the remarkable age of 97, our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away peacefully in the night under the care of her family and Big Bend Hospice.

She leaves behind a lifetime of beautiful memories, endless love, and a legacy that will live on for generations.

Throughout her nearly century-long journey, she embraced life with a warm heart, and a remarkable ability to bring joy and optimism to those around her. She was extremely spirited, independent and sometimes stubborn. She had an extraordinary appreciation for the beauty of nature, a love she shared with everyone around her. She loved being outdoors, flowers, trees, birds, the stars in the sky, all brought so much joy to her and all those around her benefited from it. Family gatherings and holidays was another love of hers. She wanted to be surrounded by family and friends. Her presence was a source of comfort, encouragement, and happiness to all.

Above all she was the devoted Mother of three Children, Harold, Robert (Buck), and Kathy; a cherished grandmother of Stephanie, Rich and Chikako; and a proud great grandmother of Kai-Li, An-Ji, Savvy and Story. As well as many dear friends considered family BJ, Kelly and Carey.

Her family also includes her daughter in law Valerie, her two brothers Everett and Michael and a sister Carolyn, as well as many nieces and nephews. All part of the large family that meant so very much to her. Family was everything to her.

Ninety seven years of life. Generations of love. Countless memories of good times and laughter.

While we will deeply miss her, her loving presence will remain with us through the memories we hold dear. We are so very grateful for the many years we were blessed to share with her. For the memories we will carry with us, and for the privilege of having her in our lives.

Her life was a gift, her memory a treasure, and her Love will remain in our hearts forever.

The Celebration of Life will be held at her grandson's home, Richard Carter, on November 21st, 2026 @11:30 am, @5671 Santa Anita Drive, Tallahassee, Fl 32309.
