Bettie was a member at the First Baptist Church of Tatum where she enjoyed fellowship with her church family spreading the word of God. Bettie was filled with love and happiness for all things but none more so than her love for her Dauchsands. She enjoyed smiley faces, corny jokes, and working on her genealogy helping others track down and learn about their own family history. Bettie beamed with love for her family, smiled with positivity for the world, and could hug the pain right out of even the most hurt person. Heaven is lucky to have such an Angel for she will be missed by all that knew and loved Bettie Wood.
