Elizebeth Ann (Betty Ann) Bradfield Cummins

A lifelong resident of Austin, Betty Ann graduated from Austin High School in 1946 where she was a Red Jacket. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from the University of Texas, Austin in 1950. Betty Ann was a member of Chi Omega Sorority. She was elected to numerous offices and continued her affiliation with the sorority as an active alumna. As a condition of marrying "that Cummins boy", Betty Ann's father insisted that she complete her education first.

Betty Ann married the love of her life, Donald Hugh Cummins at First United Methodist Church on November 18, 1950.

Betty Ann had a wonderful sense of humor and left many people happy just for having known her. Her many interests included: Hope Presbyterian Church where she served as an Elder; Stephen's Ministry; Helping Hand Home for Children; Caritas; traveling (especially Switzerland); fishing at Rockport and Cypress Creek; family gatherings -her favorite being Thanksgiving and Christmas; and Longhorn football. Don proposed during the OU-Texas football game in 1949 and they set their wedding date around an "away" game.

Having been raised by parents and grandparents involved in the Real Estate development business in Austin since 1919, Betty Ann naturally loved all things Austin and passed this heritage along to her family.

Betty Ann is survived by her husband, Don and her two sons, William Bradfield (Brad) Cummins and Thomas Walling and his wife, Linda Cummins, all of Austin. Her survivors also include four grandchildren - Caroline Cummins; Katie Cummins Clark and her husband, Tim; Landon Cummins; Ryan Cummins and many beloved nieces and nephews. Betty Ann is pre­ deceased by her parents and brother, Tom W. Bradfield.

The family wishes to thank the many caregivers and friends for their friendship, love, and support. Betty Ann's faith, family and friends sustained her throughout her life.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Hope Presbyterian Church, the Helping Hand Home for Children, or to a charity that is dear to you, for what is dear to you, Betty Ann loved also.

Memorial services will be held at 10:00 a.m. followed by a reception on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home, 3125 N. Lamar Blvd., Austin, Texas.
