Betty was born to Harvey Rees and Albyne Gowen Blythe on November 3, 1924 in Fullerton, California. It was there she attended and graduated from Fullerton Union High School and Fullerton College. She was employed by Eadington Fruit Company in 1944 and was there until her retirement in July of 1986. Betty enjoyed the friendships she made during her 42 years of employment and has kept in touch through the years with many of her co-workers.
She married the love of her life, Charles Berney on July 22, 1950. They moved to St. George, Utah 1986 after her retirement. She was a member of the first Christian Church in Fullerton, California and after her move, the First Southern Baptist Church of St. George. She was active in both churches and served as President for the women's groups. Betty enjoyed her sister's children and becoming a great, great aunt.
Making their home comfortable for her husband was important to her. She had a great love for all of the many dogs they enjoyed.
Betty is preceded in death by her parents and sister, Ruby Kelly. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Raymond Charles Blythe; two nieces, Katy and Janet; 6 great nieces and nephews; a great-great niece, and one cousin.
The family will gather for a private memorial of Betty and they would like to give a special thanks to Kolob Care & Rehabilitation, Applegate Hospice, and all of their loving neighbors for their special care. Heidman Hughes Morturay

Don't know if you remember us Ray but you and Betty were at many of my folks parties back a few years. We also have some home movies of you and Betty at Bud and Hene's pool with Carol and our new baby girl, Leanne. I was in the Army at the time but Leanne was maybe 8 months old...... she will be 50 next month. We have a son also (Doug) and he is 46. Betty was always a friendly and happy person with the prettiest eyes......... I'm sure you are missing her greatly. Our condolences to you and all your family, Ray.
