The countless loving reflections of his life are left with his two daughters: Laureen and Loreen Bettis; one stepson: Benjamin Kirksey; one granddaughter: Loaria Bettis; three brothers: Frank (Annie) Pacley, Jim Pacley, and Rev. James (Gloria) Pacley; two sisters: Lula Bloxson and Ollie (Levester) Bonner, and a host of nieces and nephews.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Bettis was preceded in death by his father and mother: Essie McLeod and Ollie Bettis, and two daughters: Romona Donald and Annie Louise Bettis.
Funeral services will occur Saturday, December 13, 2025 at 1:00 PM at Little Rock AME Church in the Crandall community (Quitman), with Rev. James Pacley as the eulogist. Interment will follow at Zion Chapel Cemetery, also in Crandall.
