Betty Oliver

Betty Joyce Oliver was a beloved grandmother, mother, and wife during her incredible 88 years of life. She passed away peacefully on Monday, March 18, 2024.

Betty worked as a medical and professional administrative assistant for over 30 years. She was married to her husband, Louie Earl "Pete" Oliver for 51 years, and had three children; Sherry, Rick, and Barry.

Betty was a faithful, loving, and caring woman with a spunky spirit. Her outfits were always glamorous and she was often known as the life of the party. One of her many gifts in this life was her ability to make people laugh, helping those around her find joy in the small things.

Betty was a daughter, mother, wife, and friend, but "Nanny" was probably her favorite title. She loved her grandchildren fiercely, and made sure each one was stamped by a red lipstick kiss before leaving her presence. She was the matriarch of her family - and a faithful child of God. It was important to Betty that she passed on her faith to her family, ensuring that those who came after her understood the heights and depths of God's love.

Betty is preceded in death by her parents C. W. Black and Lou Jean Crawford; her sisters Mildred Black and Billy Black; and her husband Louie Earl "Pete" Oliver.

She is survived by her children Sherry Stokes, Rick (Michele) Oliver, and Barry (Rhonda) Oliver; her grandchildren Stephanie (Josh) Cagle, Nicholas (Sarah) Stokes, Cortney Oliver, Eric (Laci) Stokes, Alex Oliver, Cody (Eryn) Oliver, Kayla Oliver, and Anjel (Brian) Hendry. And 16 great-grandchildren.
