Betty Crocker Williamson, born February 19, 1935, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday June 15, 2017. She is survived by her husband Herb, two sons, Sam (Paula); James; and one daughter Linda Bruner (Byron). She was a grandmother to four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
She was a resident of the Bagley community, a true coal miner’s daughter, a devoted and blessed stay at home mother, the youngest of seven children, and a perfect pastor’s wife. Betty was patient, kind, and a loving mother; a dedicated grandmother, loved and welcomed all children, enjoyed cooking, canning, cross stitching, and was an avid sports fan. She loved the United Methodist Church and was a member of Birmingham First UMC. She was married for 58 years to Herb, whom she claimed was “mine from the first time I saw him”, even up to the last day of her life. They served several churches in the North Alabama Conference for 45 years.
