Doyle and Glen Thackston of Shelby, North Carolina, and several nieces, nephews, sisters and brothers-in-law.
Betty was the eldest of four daughters born to Vera Deese Warner and Albert Oscar Watson.
Betty was born in Huntington, West Virginia on April 3, 1932, grew up in Carthage, North Carolina and lived in Aberdeen, North Carolina after high school until she married. She had several jobs but enjoyed being a librarian the most.
Betty was an avid reader often completing several books each week. She enjoyed gardening, her beach house in the Outer Banks and watching birds in her backyard. She had a lively and sometimes feisty spirit and was always protective of her family. Betty had a kind, generous heart and was quick to offer help to anyone in need. Most of all, she was a loving wife and dedicated mother. As her health began to decline, she reminded her children that although we “loved her more” she “loved us the most”. Her life’s work was service to her family and friends. Her strong spirit and loving heart will be greatly missed.
The funeral will be held on Friday, January 18, 2019 at 11 a.m. at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, 3300 Cedar Lane, Portsmouth, Virginia, 23703.
