Bethel was a longtime member of Weaverville Baptist Church. She was a homemaker who truly loved working and sharing the bounty of her garden, life on the farm, cooking for everyone, sewing and quilting, and being a Granny.  Her biscuits will be missed by all.  She loved being at home more than anywhere else...she is there now!

A special “Thank You” is extended to the care staff at Mount Moriah Assisted Living:  Jennifer, Beth, Melissa, Shara and Sytira.  Bethel’s housemates:  Ruth, Pam, Vickie, Charlene and Ethel welcomed her into the family and have a place in our hearts also!  To all the friends, family, and neighbors and church family…thank you for your calls, cards, visits, prayers, and support.
