Betty Ruth Bennett, 73, of Michie, TN passed away Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at her home. She was born April 12, 1950, to Warren Harding and Jettie Marie Smith Burcham, and is at peace in her heavenly home with them. Betty was a graduate of Thrasher High School, and a member of Hinkle Baptist Church. She worked for over 46 years, ITT for 27 years, King Manufacturing for 2 years, and then retired from Tecumseh after 17 years. Betty enjoyed gardening, cooking, and spending time with her family and friends. She always had a smile on her face and was never too busy to cook up one of her famous chocolate pies. She had a kind soul and generous nature. She was a friend to anyone she met, and always kind to everyone. To know her was to love her. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends, but we are comforted in knowing she is in heaven reuniting with loved ones, and know we all will have precious memories to hold onto in the future.
