Betty Lou Hill-Auberry, 84 went home to be with Jesus at 3:20 pm on October 17, 2019. Although we will miss her, we have comfort that we will meet again. Born Oct 31, 1934 to Martin and Agnes Coday in Mansfield, MO, Betty was one of seven children. She was raised in the Ozarks, and enjoyed the simple things in life.
Betty faithfully served Jesus playing the piano and singing from a early age. She raised her children to love the Lord and enjoyed singing with them in evangelistic services as they grew up. Betty loved people and showed everyone the love of Jesus. She loved to spend time with her friends and family playing dominoes or Hand and Foot, going to church, spending time camping, or gathering at restaurants to eat together and laugh! She loved life and loved to have fun!
