Betty Jo McCullers
Betty Jo McCullers, 94, of Bedford, TX and formerly of Marietta, OK, passed from this life on September 12, 2022. She was born on October 19, 1927 in Marietta, one of nine children born to James Madison “J.M.” and Noma Jane (Simons) Hill. Betty grew up in Marietta and graduated from Marietta High School. After graduation, she began working as a teller in the banking industry. Betty married the love of her life David Eugene McCullers on November 4, 1945 in Marietta.

Betty didn’t have many hobbies in life, but one thing she did enjoy was shopping. She was known by her family as a “professional shopper.” Betty knew that true quality of life was measured by the love she gave and the ability to love and appreciate the simple things in life. Although Betty enjoyed shopping, she loved nothing more than spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Left behind to cherish her legacy are her son, David Wayne McCullers and wife Anne of Bedford; daughter-in-law, Loretta McCullers of Ardmore; brother, Huck “Tex” Hill of Dallas, TX; sister, Pat Connelly of Ardmore; four grandchildren, Michael McCullers, Jennifer Jay, Randy McCullers, and Amy Billups; nine great-grandchildren; and two (plus one on-the-way) great-great-grandchildren.
