On June 26, 1924 a candle was lit for Betty. It burned brightly for 96 years and then began to dim and flicker and went out on March 10, 2021. Betty slipped quietly into the arms of our Heavenly Father.
She was born in New Vienna, Ohio to Kathryn (Oates) Dunlap and Lloyd Dunlap. Betty grew up in Springport and graduated from Mt. Summit High School. She married Ray Smith on July 6, 1943 in Portland, Oregon. Betty was a homemaker, enjoyed her family, was fiercely independent and had a true love of dogs.
Betty is survived by her son, Monty R. (wife, Shirley) Smith of New Castle; two granddaughters, Jessica (husband, Todd) Cline of Fishers, Indiana and Amanda (husband, Daniel) Shirley of Bloomington, Indiana; three great-grandchildren, Joshua Cline of Fishers, Hannah and Audrey Shirley, both of Bloomington. Betty is also survived by children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren from her second marriage.
Betty was preceded in death by her first husband, Ray Smith and her second husband, Ray Burgess; a sister, Margaret Carter and a brother, Phillip Dunlap.
If you knew Betty, you knew she loved dogs. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to your local humane society in Betty's honor. Betty's family would like to thank all the staff at the Waters of New Castle for their care and comfort.
Graveside services will be held 2:00 p.m., Saturday, March 13, 2021 at Woodlawn Cemetery in Springport, Indiana with Pastor John Garrett officiating. The funeral directors and staff of Macer-Hall Funeral Home are honored to serve the Burgess family. Online condolences may be made at www.macerhall.com.
