Betty M. Brooks

Born August 7, 1932, in Page County, Va, she was the eldest daughter of the late June and Mamie Campbell.

In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her husband, Carl Meadows, who together, built the house she lived in; brother, Aldine Campbell; sisters, Frances Shenk, Nancy Barnes, Joyce Waters; grandson, Timmy Meadows; and granddaughter, April Meadows.

Surviving are her daughters, Diana Dawson of Memphis, TN and Sharon Daniel of Kill Devil Hills, NC; sons, Gary Meadows and wife, Debbie, of Crimora, VA, Ronnie Meadows and wife, Dawn, of Stuarts Draft, VA, and Allen Meadows of Crimora, VA; and her sweet dog, Chloe (Sadie). Lovingly remembered is a very special friend Loren Bryan, who is survived by his daughter Kim Bryan who are fondly thought of as extended family.

She was blessed with nine loving grandchildren, Theresa Dawson, Jessica Funk (Brad), Danielle Meadows, AJ Herron (Mary Beth), Amber Meadows, Christopher Meadows, Travis Meadows (Vicky), Tracy Meadows, Tina Meadows; eight great-grandchildren, Caleb, Chris, Jeramiah, Elizavianna, Kayden, Cooper, Summer and Clayton; two special great nieces, Vicki Llewellyn and family and Sandy and Jimmy Hull; and a number of other great nieces and nephews.

Betty was employed as a Certified Nurse’s Aide most of her working years. Betty took most pleasure in loving and caring for her family. She will be remembered for her love of chocolate. Tending to her flowers. A very simple person. If you brought her flowers, she would say she couldn’t thank you for them. There is an old superstition that saying, “thank you” for a flower, or plant, from someone's garden is bad luck. She would smile and say I’m glad you came to see me. Betty’s next words were “Would you like something to eat?” Betty would also always say, “God knows best in all things.”

A service to honor and celebrate the life of Betty Brooks will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 15, 2023 at Forest Chapel Church of the Brethren, Crimora with Pastor David Steward officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.

Active pallbearers will be A.J. Herron, Christopher Meadows, Theresa Dawson, Brad Funk, Travis Meadows, and Duane Barnes.
