Bettie (Tapley) Glasscock, age 75, went home to be with Jesus on Wednesday, November 14, 2012. She was born on September 13, 1937 in Eudora, Mississippi to Ebbie Byron and Myrtle Tapley. "Could I have this dance?" brought Bill J. Glasscock into Bettie's life; they were married on December 7, 1956 in Houston and together raised 4 children. After graduating from the University of Houston, Bettie spent many years teaching fourth grade. Throughout her life, including the past two years of her struggle against cancer, Bettie embodied a strong, simple faith. Her unmistakable love for family, friends, and her Lord continues to inspire those who were blessed by her full life. Bettie is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, Bill; her four children, David and Debbie Glasscock, Pattie and Rick Skeen, John and Tracey Glasscock, and Sheri and Craig Seiter; nine grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; brother Sonny and Sophia Tapley, sister Carol (Tapley) Johnson; and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 10:00 am at Forest Park Lawndale with burial to follow. The family will greet friends from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday, November 16, 2012 at Forest Park Lawndale. The Glasscock family would like to extend their gratitude to their church, family, and friends that have prayed for them and shown such love and concern. The caregivers of Houston Hospice and Home Helpers are also appreciated for their kindhearted care.
