Betty Burkett Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 10, 2025.
Betty Jo Burkett (Grant), a beacon of love and faith, departed from this world on November 6, 2025, at the age of 81, in the comforting presence of Arizona's serene landscapes. Born on November 14, 1943, in the warm and welcoming state of Georgia, Betty Jo was the cherished daughter of Harvey and Bernice Grant. She carried with her the Southern charm and grace throughout her life, touching the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Betty Jo was a proud mother to 6 children - Billy(Bonnie), Alfred(Wanda), Richard(Sherry), Bobby, Sherry(Jimmy), and Larry(Kathy) Morrow. She was the grandmother to Leah, Mindy, April, Joseph, Callie, Jo, Regina, Clay, Tiffany, Stephanie, Gabrielle, Alex, Brittany, and Heather, and was further blessed with numerous great and great-great-grandchildren. Each of them was a testament to her boundless love and the values she instilled.
A devout Christian, Betty Jo found solace and strength in her faith. She loved reading the Bible and incorporated its teachings into her daily life. Her faith was her guiding light, a source of comfort during her battle with Alzheimer's. As the Bible says, "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13). Betty Jo embodied this scripture, living a life filled with immense love and unwavering faith.
Her interests were a reflection of her loving nature; she cherished every moment spent with her family and never missed an opportunity to call her loved ones. The simple pleasure of being in the company of family was her greatest joy.
Betty Jo will be remembered as a faith-filled, loving, and thoughtful woman. She was the heart of every gathering, the listener in times of need, and the voice of wisdom in moments of uncertainty. Her legacy will live on in the lives of those she touched with her kindness and in the memories that will be cherished by her family and friends.
As we bid farewell to Betty Jo Burkett, we take comfort in the knowledge that her spirit has found peace and that her life was a testament to the power of love and faith. Her memory will be a guiding star to all who knew her, and her influence will continue to resonate for generations to come.
