Betty was born Friday, April 26, 1929, in Brounland. She was born fifth child out of ten to proud parents, George Washington and Martha Eskew. Knowing Betty would conquer anything she set her mind to, they named her after Revolutionary War heroine, Betty Zane.

Preceding her in death besides her parents and husband were five siblings, Delmer, Don, Ken, Virginia, Ruth and George.
Betty was a devout Christian. She graduated Valedictorian from Washington District High School. She worked at West Virigina State Capital for 20 years before she became a real estate broker and founded Hill and Valley Realty.
A true adventurer at heart, Betty had a deep love for the outdoors. She loved to fish, hunt, and garden. Above all else, Betty cherished her family. She was a devoted wife, sister, daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother.
May she rest in peace, forever fishing in the tranquil waters of heaven.
