Bettye Wicker

Bettye Avera Wicker went home peacefully to the Lord and her beloved parents on December 10, 2024.
Bettye was a resident of My Father's Way Memory Care Home in Salisbury, MD since October 1, 2021. Bettye loved her days there with friends, singing and dancing to Elvis, Johnny Cash and all the oldies. While most days she couldn't tell you what she just had for lunch, she could sing every word to every song with a big smile on her face. She will be missing the Christmas Eve pajama party this year. Bettye loved all the amazing staff at My Father's Way, especially her special friend Frances Donalson-Neal (owner). She was truly blessed to have found not only a great facility but a home, we considered family.
The family would like to thank all the staff, Frances, Angie and Uncle Darrell at My Father's Way for the wonderful years Bettye spent with you and most importantly for the loving and compassionate care received in her final days. We are truly grateful.
Bettye was born in Meridian, Ms on June 19, 1943 to the late Clifford O'dell and Eula Mae Avera.
As a former military wife Bettye traveled all over the U.S. calling several states home. Hawaii being one of her favorites. Bettye was also blessed to visit Isreal twice in her lifetime - both times getting baptized in the Jordan River. A highlight of her life.
Proceeded in death by her beloved parents Clifford O'dell and Eula Mae Avera. As well as her favorite brother in law Roy Hayhurst Sr.
