Betty Louise Ferguson Fry, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed away Tuesday March 9, 2010, at her home. She was born May 22, 1929 in Wewoka, Oklahoma.

Betty was a homemaker raising her seven children and helping to raise seven grandsons and always known affectionately as 'Granny Fry'. She joined the rest of the family and followed her oldest son David in his Street Stock Racing for years. She was either babysitting the grandkids or going with the girls to the Booster meetings. She won Booster of the Year in 1982 for all her support and help.
Betty loved working puzzles, quilting, reading, watching soap operas, and especially working on the family tree. She was always trying to trace her past. Her favorite pass time was going out to eat with her youngest son, Andy.

The photo of Leonard and Betty was in the SS Leader because I'm the one that had it put in the paper for their 50th Annisversary. The photo was given to me by Betty Fry and it was taken by her sister-in-law Irene.(OB)
