Betty Louise Lackey
October 10, 1931 – June 4, 2020
Betty was born October 10, 1931 in Novinger, Missouri to George and Leila Truitt. She passed away June 4, 2020 in Bakersfield, California.
Betty graduated from Versailles High School in Versailles Missouri. In 1959, she moved to California where she attended Business College. She worked many years for a farming group as an accounting and office manager until she retired in 1996.
Her first husband, Robert Davis, was killed in an auto accident in 1962. She married George Emmett Lackey in 1965. Emmett and Betty enjoyed camping, fishing, and traveling. Betty had a variety of hobbies which included: bowling, gardening (beautiful flower gardens), jewelry making, oil painting, photography and sewing. Betty would learn one hobby and start looking for another!
