Betty was a homemaker until about 1960 when she began working with her husband in their business, Tune's Trophies located in Ovilla. She was a lifelong member of the Ovilla Methodist Church and devoted her latter years caring for her invalid mother. After her mother's death she continued to care for her mother-in-law, Letha Tune.
She was a devoted wife, mother, "Nannie", and friend. Mama was a source of profound strength for this family and her faith sustained her through many storms, and she helped me weather mine as well. She rests now in Jesus. I love and miss you Mama, our beautiful Betty Lou. You were one of the most gentle, compassionate, forgiving souls I've ever known. Love, your daughter Gloria Jeanne
Rest in peace sweet Mama.
