Betty Gordon, 87, of Newman died at 4:55 p.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 2020 at home.
Betty was born on December 1, 1932 in Arcola, IL to Williamson and Mary (Miller) Wright. She married Bill Gordon on January 7, 1951 in Arcola, IL.
She is survived by her two children, Gary (Jalane) Gordon and Judy (Geof) Luth.

Betty graduated from Arcola High School in 1950. She worked at the Woods Northside Market in Newman, and then later at the Dixie Truckers Home in Tuscola.
Betty loved to get out and go places, and when she did, she never met a stranger. Nothing made her happier than to be surrounded by her family and friends. She enjoyed going to the coffee shop in Newman, playing cards with family and friends, and was an avid crocheter. She was known as grandma Betty by all of her family and friends.
A graveside service will be held at 1:00 P.M. on Monday, June 29, 2020 at the Fairfield Cemetery, Newman.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Douglas County Humane Society.
