One thing about Bethany, she loved her kids and grandkids. She would always talk about her children and or grandkids. Bethany was the best. There was never a dull moment when she was around, our favorite memories were always made when her siblings or close friends were around. She loved going to the beach or to her best friends lake house in Wedowee, Alabama. She could always light up a room when she walked in. Her smile was definitely contagious. For 16 years, she helped students with their work permits and college applications and made so many friends through the years when working at Alexander and made so many memories. She will be dearly missed by so many.
The family will receive friends at Hightower's Memorial Chapel from 2:00 PM until 3:00 PM on Thursday, July 10, 2025. A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:00 PM with Dr. Billy Godwin officiating.
