Bettie Montgomery

Bettie Lee Montgomery, born February 15, 1931, entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on October 3, 2025, at the age of 94.

Bettie was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rush Montgomery; her son, James L. Montgomery; her daughter in law Peggy Montgomery; 2 granddaughters; and her brothers and sisters who went before her.

She is lovingly survived by her children: Rush Montgomery, Don (Gail) Montgomery, Cindy (Dennis) Kennedy, Lassye (Tim) Lamar, Jon Paul (Frances) Montgomery, and June (Mike) Pressman—who selflessly and tenderly cared for her mother in the later years of her life. Bettie was blessed with 13 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren, all of whom were touched by her unconditional love and gentle spirit.

Bettie was a devoted wife, a constant and caring mother, and embodied everything you imagine a grandmother to be. Though dementia eventually took her mind, it never took her sweet spirit or her joyful sense of humor. A faithful follower of Christ, Bettie’s love for her Lord was evident to all who knew her. She filled her home and the hearts of others with the sound of her favorite hymns, sung from a place of deep faith and gratitude.

A lifelong homemaker, Bettie dedicated her life to making others feel loved, welcomed, and valued. Everyone who had the privilege of knowing her is better for having been part of her life.

Her family will celebrate her beautiful life on October 14, 2025, at Greenview Memorial, visitation will be at 11 am with the funeral to follow at 12 pm, as they honor the remarkable woman who leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and kindness.
