She is also survived by fifteen great grandchildren and nine grandchildren and a host of extended family, friends, family on the Rodeo Circuit, motorcycle riders and little league sports.

She accepted Christ at an early age joined Pilgrim Baptist Church. She took those long, sweaty rides back to Pilgrim Baptist Church every other Sunday until it closed, and she joined Hillwood Baptist Church in Spencer, OK. The family moved to New Chance City in 1955 and she remained there until her death.

She was one of the few children that attended the one room school in Dudley, elementary school in Carney, junior high at Dunjee and graduated from high school in Jones, OK in 1964. She was a good athlete and participated in basketball and both AAU and high school track.

She was groomed by African Warrior Queens; she was independent and lived life her way. She was mentored by Ms. Edna Brown, her great-grandmother, her mother, Novella Reid who was an example for her work ethic along with her five strong, enlightened aunts, Gloria Boyd-Mayberry, Lois Dumas, Sharon Jones, Edna Mayfield and Gwen Johnson. She started her working career at Shipman Café as an unpaid employee, she had multiple jobs and later retired from Dayton Tires, Oklahoma City after thirty years.

She married her first husband Kenneth Davis shortly after high school. She later married Alvin Lee in 1976. They were blessed with her only child had her heart Marquethz "Kronskey" whom she adored. She supported her son with his sports, cowboying, and car activities. She was a devoted mother.

She became a super mom and did everything for her son. She basically opened the "Betty House" (New Chance version of the Jesus House without funding), a place where his friends could hang out. All you heard was "Kronskey Friends". She fed them, transported them to ball practices, movies, rodeos, and if they got into trouble at home, she gave them a place to stay. Betty took care of her neighbors and those who fell on hard times. She would deliver food, take people to work and opened her home to some.

To relieve the pressure of becoming a super mom, she started to do something for herself. She brought a barrel horse, a group of real black cowboys and this odd group of individuals, such as Bimp, "Still" Bill Brown, Walker Watts, Elwood Givens and Charlette Carter taught her how to ride a barrel horse. She built a barn, practice arena, and put three barrels on dirt and started to practice. She was dedicated and practiced every day and she was "good." Betty rode her horse around the clover leaf pattern (upside down triangle) until they were one. She competed on the Bill Pickett Rodeo Circuit and traveled over the United States. Betty enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and later her great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed good food, gatherings, parties with family and friends, horse riding, rodeoing and last but not least an ice-cold Coors Light.
