Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 13, 2012.

LONGVIEW — The Lord called His sweet angel home February 10, 2012, after a richly blessed life of service and love to others. Betty was born July 4, 1926, in St. Louis, Mo.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Claude Winters and Opal (George) Reinbold.
She is survived by her brother, Robert Lee Winters; her three sons, Kenneth, Karl (Sherry) and Keene (Rhonda) Golding; three daughters, Kathryn Cox, Karen East and Kyle (Steve) Bauer; eight grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Betty lived most of her adult life in New Orleans, La., where she lovingly raised her six children. She spent her retirement years in Longview, Texas. Throughout her life, she passionately participated in her church, theatre, the arts, tennis and volunteered in many areas with the latest being Longview Art Museum and Habitat for Humanity.
The family expresses gratitude to Hospice and Palliative Care, Charlotte N.C.
Services will be at Lakeview Funeral Home, 5000 W. Harrison Rd., Longview, TX, on Saturday, February 18, 2012. Visitation will be from 2-3 p.m., with the service immediately following.

All our love to you dear Betty, the sweetest, dearest lady ever. I loved having you as my sis(in-law), and treasure the talks we used to have together long ago. My sister, my son, and daughters mourn your memory, and thank God we all got to spend time together within the past year plus.
My prayers go out to Bob, Kathryn, Keene, Karen and all family who feel the loss of such a sweet, kind, and sunny spirit. We know that she is at peace, and happy now. She will always watch over us all.

Betty was the product of a time when grace, humanity and gentleness were held in high esteem. I'll never forget that way she had of making you feel honored and loved whenever she spoke to you. She will be missed by all of us who knew her kind, generous heart.

I remember from when I was a little girl on into my teen years where she participated in the summer shows at Salem. She had a beautiful voice and a heart of gold. Although I haven't seen her in years, I will always remember her with a smile. My prayers and thoughts go out to her family.
Godspeed Betty.

Betty was such a wonderful lady! She and my dad are singing show tunes in heaven right now! You all were blessed to have her for your mom! She is truly missed!

Betty was without a doubt one of the most tender-hearted and compassionate women I've ever known, and her incredible exterior beauty and voice were just bonuses to her beautiful soul. I've been missing her since she left Longview, and I'm going to miss her even more now that I know for sure I'll never see her again. To Bob, the only family member we know, you know how much we love you and will help in any way we can. To the rest of the family, know she was loved by all who met her.

I'll never forget her "country western" style worship songs at Oak Park in Algiers.

Thanks, Lord, what did we ever do, to deserve the many blessings You gave us thru Betty?

I hope all Betty's family realize how much love we feel for you.

Jeff,
from all of us at Oak Park BC
