Betty Jean Meadows

Betty was born in Tulsa, OK to James Virgil Joy and Myrtle Mae Frost-Joy, both of whom precede her in death.

Betty met the love of her life, Gene Meadows, and after knowing each other only three days, they married on January 14, 1951 in Rockwall, TX. As a military wife and mother of two that moved frequently due to duty stations, she always found a way of making a house feel like a home. She opened the house and welcomed Single Sailors for Holiday meals, fun and games. She loved playing softball, dominoes, kings corner, dice and Bingo while sharing coffee with friends and family. Betty will be remembered for her beautiful and contagious smile, loving heart, whitty sense of humor, and most of all as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother to many.

Betty is proceeded in death by beloved husband Eugene Ervin Meadows, brother James Lee Joy and sister Cleo Lewis.
