Betty Vance Obituary

Betty Jo Vance, age 85, went home to be with the Lord on May 25, 2021. With a smile that could light a room and cooking that would forever keep you coming back for more; Betty's faith, love, and goodness were felt by anyone in her presence whether she showed you with a big hug or a slice of pie. She loved her family completely and unconditionally and she could cut a rug like no other. Preceding her death were her parents and siblings, Genevieve "Sis" Mosley, Jack Phillips, and Jim Simmons; and her granddaughter, Sarah McCartney. She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Samuel Vance and her children, Pat and Bob McCartney, Chris and Bobby Leonard, Jackie Davis, Kellie and Brian Gardinier, and Michael and Jenny Vance; grandchildren, Jay Shultz (Faith), Tia Winter (Adam), Rachel Rhodes (Steve), Adam Vargas (Jenelle), Samuel McCartney (Brianna), Michael Vance Jr.; and great-grandchildren, Vance, Avery, Charlie, Henry, Zyler, and Ryker. A memorial service honoring Betty's life will be held at Hopkins Lawver Funeral Home at 547 Canton Rd., Akron, Ohio 44312 on Saturday, May 29, 2021 at 2 p.m.. Visitation for friends and family will occur one hour prior. Due to COVID, masks and social distancing guidelines will be followed. (Hopkins Lawver, AKRON, 330-733-6271) www.hopkinslawver.com

Betty was our dear friend for 38 years and has now passed from this mortal realm. She is now free from her earthly body to forever flow in His mighty Spirit. Betty always had a kind and gentle Spirit of Love. She always welcomed Richard and I into her life with those hugging arms. I know that she will be missed but she will continue to be a mighty Spirit in God’s kingdom. She will continue her life in God, growing and always praising his mighty name. Sending much love to all of her family and friends especially her loving and devoted husband Sam, our dear friend.
