Betty grew up in the Wallville community and attended Hughes schools. She married the love of her life, Lloyd Harold Spivey on September 15, 1951 in Gainesville, Texas. Betty worked for Crabtree Drug then went on to work at Wackers as a clerk. After her time at Wackers she decided to stay home and take care of her grandchildren as well as others until her later years when she worked for the Washita Valley Nursing Home, Pauls Valley Public Library, Dollar General, and the Fashion Store.
Betty was a member of Beaty Baptist Church in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, she loved to travel and ride any roller coaster she could find. She loved going out to eat, playing games like dominos, rummy, solitaire, and many others. After Betty's retirement she spent the majority of her time taking care of her great grandchildren.
Her family said Betty made the best cheeseburgers, fried taters, fried chicken and meatloaf, but nothing compared to her Texas sheet cake. Her grandchildren would tell you that her biscuits & gravy, and pancakes and bacon were the best they've ever had and no one ever left Nana's house hungry.
Betty's daughter, grandchildren, and great grandchildren loved the stories that she told to them of her time growing up, Betty's family was the highlight of her life. She always made sure to tell them to love Jesus, to love life, to spend time with family, and most importantly how to win at chicken foot. Betty will be missed by so many.
