Betty West Obituary
BETTY L. WEST (nee King) age 95, beloved wife for 40 years of Woodrow; loving mother of Mark Todd (Nancy) and Teresa Zoda (John); devoted grandmother of Christopher Todd, Elizabeth Todd Gallagher (Mark) and Adam Zoda (Cassandra); cherished daughter of the late Jack and Lola (nee Perkins) King; dearest sister of the late Jack King Jr., Lavada Malcolm, and Virginia Marlott; dear aunt and great-aunt of many.
Betty was born on August 23, 1930, to Jack and Lola in Miamisburg, Ohio. She graduated from Miamisburg High School in 1948 and went on to work as a administrative assistant for Bowman Distribution, retiring in 1992. Betty met the love of her life, Woodrow, and the two were happily married in 1985. She was a wonderful mother to both her children and was an incredibly family oriented woman whilst remaining independent. Betty enjoyed collecting antiques, and what brought her the most enjoyment in life was spending time with animals, especially her cats. Betty passed away on October 1, 2025, and will be dearly missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
