Betty Jean Holcombe, age 84, died Sunday, January 24 with her two daughters at her side. She was born December 13, 1931 to the late Nina and Richard Boozer.
She is preceded in death by her husband James Holcombe and sisters Mary Morrison and Cora Kerr. She is survived by her daughters Cynthia Read and Barbara Graham, nieces Debbie Marcell and Tina Taliaferro, and sister-by-choice, Joyce King. Betty imparted much wisdom to her grandchildren Amber King, Roxxy Griffin, Luke Graham, Krystal Read-Segner, and eight great-grandchildren.
She was a faithful member of Southcrest Baptist Church, a breast cancer survivor, and after retiring from Southwestern Bell she perfected her shot at removing pesky squirrels from her pecan tree.
