Betty Jo Pearce Bounds was born August 31, 1928 in Waskom, TX to Burdette Charles and Myrtle Gertrude Pearce. Betty and George Young Bounds were married in 1947. A believer in education, Betty returned to college as an adult to study at Stephen F. Austin University, earning a double major in English and in History, a Masters of Science in History, and a Masters of Science in Counseling. She was a teacher at Koonce Jr. High and Carthage High School for many years before leaving the classroom to become a counselor. With her razor sharp wit and keen ability to tell a story, she had the gift to take an experience, tie it up with a laugh and a wink, and leave you with a life lesson wrapped in a smile.
She has left a legacy to her children and grandchildren of love of family, hard work, the value of commitment, devotion to god, strong moral character, generosity, and a lifetime of friendships. She is preceded in death by her parents and husband.
