Betty Lavone Ware

Betty Lavone Ware, 89, a beloved mother, homemaker, and faithful member of the Pentecostal Church of God in Pryor, has peacefully passed away on April 6, 2024, in Pryor. She was born on April 6, 1935, and on her 89th birthday, she transitioned to her heavenly home. Betty was known for her unwavering devotion to her faith and her family. She found great joy in caring for her home and children, pouring her heart into every stitch as she lovingly sewed their clothes when they were young. Her skills extended to canning and tending to her household with grace and dedication. Beyond her roles at home, Betty also found fulfillment in her work at the C.A.R.D senior center until circumstances led her to retire due to the challenges posed by Covid. Those who had the privilege of knowing Betty will remember her as a kind-hearted soul with a gentle spirit. Her unconditional love knew no bounds, and she touched the lives of many with her warmth and compassion. Betty's legacy will live on through the fond memories shared by all who knew and loved her. As we mourn the loss of Betty in our earthly lives, we take comfort in knowing that she has found eternal peace in the loving embrace of her Lord. May we carry forward the lessons she imparted through her actions and continue to honor her memory with love and kindness.
