"She made God the center of her life and heaven her home."
Surrounded by the love of her precious family and with fond memories on her mind, Betty Lou Houck Duvall, age 91, of Ashland, Kentucky, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 21, 2025.
Betty was born in the fall of 1934 on October 1st. She was the blessing of the late Raymond and Katherine Wilson Houck Dalton. Betty worked diligently to provide for her family as a cook for the Boyd County School System at Summit Elementary, where children looked forward to seeing her every day, until her retirement in 1996.
Betty had a creative soul and loved to craft and paint, making treasures her family will cherish for years to come. She kept her mind sharp throughout the years and enjoyed the challenge of a good crossword puzzle. Betty had a strong faith in her Savior and an unwavering devotion to God. To say she was a Devout Woman of God is an understatement. She had a large family and served as a role model for what a Proverbs Woman should look like.
Betty's legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched with her kindness, faith, and gentle spirit. Her family finds comfort in knowing she is now reunited with loved ones gone before her and resting safely in the arms of her Lord.
