Betty was born in Tuscaloosa and grew up in the Big Sandy Community. She was married to William “Billy” C. Thompson for 55 years before having to say good-bye to him in 2011. Betty dedicated her entire “working life” to the grocery business, where she worked at Jitney Jungle, Bruno’s and Food World.

She is survived by her daughter, Connie Thompson; son, Greg Thompson; granddaughter, Candace Thompson; grandsons, Chase and Colby Thompson; and great-grandson, Knox Thompson.
