In loving memory of those gone before are her husband, Harold; Betty's father and mother, Harry and Susie Hancock; and her siblings, Earl Hancock and Dortha Davis.
Surviving are her daughter, Jeanie Salus of Harrisburg; her son, Stephen Reynolds of Sheridan, Wyo.; two sisters, Virginia Williams and Nita Reynolds of Harrisburg; three grandchildren, Stephanie Church and husband Todd of Harrisburg, Stephen D. Reynolds and wife Mendi of Eldorado, Blair Salus of Marion, Brittney Hall and husband Sal of Portland, Ore. and Nathan Reynolds and wife Tiffany of Sheridan, Wyo. She will be remembered by many close relatives and friends.
Some of Betty's favorite things: Family get-togethers, visits to her favorite local restaurant and with certainty, a trip to Omaha. Family and friends will agree that when Betty walked into the room, she brought liveliness and excitement with her. In her childhood days, she earned the title of "Little Miss Shirley Temple" while performing in school plays. She took great pleasure in using her musical talents with the Hancock Family Singers, and at her home church, Liberty Baptist, where she was a member for 60 years. Betty was a member of the Home Extension and the Toast Masters International.
Graveside services will be held at Liberty Baptist Church Cemetery at 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. The Rev. Darrel Ford will officiate. Memorials may be made to Hospice of Southern Illinois.
