Betty Miller Vickers was born January 17, 1930 in Valdosta, Georgia.

She was also blessed with fifteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

Betty lived in Orlando, Florida for 40 years where she enjoyed family, friends, and retail work. She was known for her hospitality and always being properly “put together”.  In 2010, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s she relocated to Newnan, Georgia to live with her son Jim and be close to her daughter Janice and family.

Betty was a faithful wife, loving mother, caring friend and had the ability to look out for the needs of others.
