Bettie Katherine Buttrey Hughes, age 81, of Fairview, TN, gained her angel wings on Friday, January 15, 2021, surrounded by her loving family. Bettie cleaned houses for many years, but her passion for 34 years (retiring in 2008), was driving a school bus for Williamson County Schools. She was one of the first female bus drivers in Williamson County and was proud to say she drove 3 generations of Fairview families. Bettie loved dancing and music, especially bluegrass and even played guitar and sang in a country band. One of her favorite past times was cheering UT Vols. She passionately loved the Lady Vols and Pat Summit.
