Betty is survived by her children, David (Karen) Nix, Teri Jacob, and Kim (Tim) Poole; her grandchildren, Justin (Micaela) Jacob, Jennifer (Jason) Osborne, Ashley Hennessey, and Zachary (Daria Sharova) Poole; and her great-grandchildren, Juliette Jacob, Gabriella Jacob, Madison Osborne, Allison Osborne, Cooper Hennessey, and Karsyn Hennessey. She also shared a special affection with her cat, Max.

A graveside service will be held at Rainbow Memorial Gardens in Gadsden, Alabama, on March 13, 2026. The family wishes to express their deep gratitude to Amedisys Hospice in Athens, Tennessee, for the compassionate care they provided to their beloved mother.
