Obituary for Evelyn "Beth" Armstrong
Evelyn “Beth” Armstrong, 80, of Sandersville, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her children on the evening of July 26, 2018. Beth, known to many as MeeMaw, was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She adored her family, had a deep faith in God and shared His unconditional love with everyone she met.

Beth was born on July 10, 1938 to the late Richard Scaife Bradford and Margaret Evelyn Bradford (Mooney) in the small town of Canton, MS.

Bob and Beth began their married life together in Dallas, Texas, eventually settling in Sandersville, MS where they owned and operated Bob’s Grocery and Meat Market. Her home was a safe haven and “home” to anyone who needed it. Her door was always open; everyone was welcomed and loved at MeeMaw’s house.
