Betty Melton Hampton passed away on October 20, 2021, after a brief illness. She was born February 12, 1934, in Huntsville, AL. Betty retired in 1989 from TMDE at Redstone Arsenal. She was a long-time member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church where she actively served in many capacities. Her greatest joy, however, was being “Mamaw” to her grandchildren.

Hampton Jr. She is survived by her brother, Carl Melton (Linda); daughters, Kim Box and Karen Edwards (Everett); grandchildren, Jessica Carrin (Brandon) and David Vogt; and great-grandchildren, Kailey Vogt, and Aiden, Emorie, and Ilan Carrin. Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, October 23, 2021, at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. A memorial service will follow at 12 at the church with Pastor Gary Soop officiating. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church.
