Betty Jane Flannery
June 3, 1949 - January 5, 2023

Betty Jane Flannery died peacefully on January 5, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona, at the age of 73. She was born on June 3, 1949 in Henderson, Texas to Lacy Truman Forbus and Verna Ceagle Pool.

Betty was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was a selfless and giving person and loved her family intensely.

Betty is survived by her daughters, Beverly Kay Taylor (Kimothy) and Donna Flannery; grandchildren, Kyle Taylor, Kurtis Taylor, Kati Taylor, Shelby Flannery and Kayli Taylor; and great grandchildren Kaiden Taylor, Koen Taylor, Brooks Pede, Grayson Taylor and Theo Pede and honorary son Buddy Bonk; sisters Dorothy Davis, Macy Casey, Thelma Sherman; brothers Raymond Forbus and Richard Forbus.

Betty was a member of Soda Baptist Church and belonged to the Women's Missionary Auxiliary group in Livingston, Texas. She loved attending church and singing with the choir. In her younger years, she enjoyed crocheting and painting. Her children and grandchildren captured her whole heart; they were her biggest priority.
