Betty Myers Bailey passed away at the age of 88 after a battle with progressive dementia. She passed peacefully, loved by many. Her precious hands that held her children and grandchildren are today being held by her Lord and Savior. Her mind and body are healed.

Betty is also preceded in death by her parents, John Hiram Myers and Eva Lena Taylor Myers; sisters, Marie Dickinson and Tera Mae Bailey; brothers, Lloyd, Lacy, Louie, and Lawton Myers.

Grandchildren, Amanda (Ronnie) Clement, Amy (Brian) Beck, Christie (Brandon) Pate, Ryne (Olivia) Goodlink.
