Betty Horton Obituary
Betty Ruth Horton (Collins) 93, was born July 28, 1931, to the late Page Collins SR. and Dessie Collins in Wynne, Ar. Betty accepted Christ at an early age. On July 30, 1949, Betty married the Love of her life, the late Joe Louis Horton. From this union came eight children who she loved dearly.
Betty and her family moved to Marion, IN in 1951. After moving to Marion, IN Betty joined Calvary Missionary Baptist Church where she faithfully served the Lord for over sixty years until GOD called her home. Betty worked for Owens Illinois for many years until she retired.
Betty loved her family and friends which they all loved her and will miss her dearly. Betty always looked forward to Holidays and family cookouts because she knew she would be spending time with loved ones. Betty hobbies were crocheting blankets, putting puzzles together, and going to bingo with her children and grandchildren where she was luckier than them. When you stopped by to see her, you could always catch her watching a western or two.
Betty went home to be with the Lord on Friday March 14, 2025, in the comfort of her own home. Betty leaves behind to cherish her memory: Sons Odester (Kim) Horton, Louis Jr, and John (Shanta) Horton; Daughters Pricie (Horton) Jefferson, Staff Seargent JoAnn DeVall, Dessie Horton, Barbara (Leo) Horton, Betty (Charles) White; Grandchildren Regina, Stephanie, Dywayne, Shawneta, Collins, Denissa, Marquel, Kellen, Kevi, John, Christopher, Kyle, Tyanna; Thirty two Great Grandchildren, Thirty Great Great Grandchildren and a host of Nieces, Nephews, and friends.

Not only were you my grandmother, you were also my best friend. I already miss you so much and have no clue what to do. I am sitting here right now lost and not knowing what I should be doing because I am usually sitting here with you. I greatly appreciate being a part of your life. I also appreciate the care that you provided me throughout my life.
I also wanna let you know that I am blessed and will always cherish the last moment of your life that you and God allowed me to be a part of. I did not think I was built for that moment but the peace that I saw come over you let me know that you believed in me and that you wanted to share that last moment of your life with me. The conversation that we were having was a tough one and as you can see, I kept my word as best I could. I do know that you will not be disappointed in me regardless of the situation because you were/are always my biggest fan and supporter. I will never have a day where I don't think of you. I will love you forever old lady. I will celebrate and grieve you until I see you again. Everything will be okay, I hear you.
