Betty enjoyed being outdoors. She loved working in her flower beds and also waiting for the return of her Purple Martins every year to a “Special” Birdhouse she had made for them. She would even go as far to shoot a BB gun not to harm but to scare the sparrows trying to occupy her Purple Martin birdhouse.
Betty loved her family and friends. She especially loved Jesus and was a member of Glad Tidings Assembly of God in North Little Rock, Ark.
Betty is preceded in death by her father Franklin P. Leonard, her mother Fannie “Lorene” Thomas, a sister, Frankie Moore and a brother Michael who died at birth.

Betty was a sweet lady. Loved Jesus and loved her family. 🙏
so sorry to hear of your moms passing. Carla and Sam Baggett
Love you Aunt Betty. Watch over us until we meet again.
I have missed seeing her these last few years. I will think of her fondly always. Love you Betty. Fly High!
I will truly miss my cousin Betty. Betty was really close to her family and Jesus. When you needed a special pray you went and asked Betty to pray for you. I know Betty is finally at peace and visiting all her family and friends in Heaven.
Mom’s wishes were to be cremated and not to have a funeral service, so Kim & I followed through with her wishes. She has a plot that my grandfather left her so she could be put to rest by him, grandma, Ruby, Frankie, her brother that died at birth and a lot more of her family on dad & mom’s side. We received the call from “A Natural State” to pick mom’s ashes up, so we did. In a few weeks we will make the decision to put mom’s ashes in her burial plot at “Ivy Chapel Cemetery.” At that time some of our family will have a last goodbye to mom on this earth. I love you mom, you are the best mom ever!
I Love ❤️ you so much Mom. You were always so good to Cheri and I. Heaven gained an Angel and we will meet again.
