Betty Ann was a person that found enjoyment in crafts and sewing. She was very accomplished in both. Her faith in God was strengthened by her church family and gospel music. She especially found encouragement in listening to the Church Wagon Gang. Her home was a place of warmth and love where all that entered found welcome. Her meals were always a treat to share. One of the church activities she found pleasure in were the annual church Halloween parties. She worked hard to bring treats and smiles to boys and girls from many years.

A funeral service is scheduled to be conducted on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 12 noon in the chapel of the Cochran-McDaniel Funeral Home Chapel in McCaysville, Georgia with Minister Keith Ritchie officiating.
