Betty was born in Elberton to the late Charles Roberts and Frances Ridgeway Roberts. She grew up at Elberton First Presbyterian Church. In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her daughter, Jinny Reagan; granddaughter, Summer Grimes; and sister, Susan Roberts.
A true magnolia, Betty exuded class and elegance. She enjoyed working in her flower garden, having her nose stuck in a good book, and decorating for Christmas.
