Betty Jean Stidham
April 29, 1933 - November 5, 2022Betty Jean Stidham, 89, passed away Saturday, November 5, 2022. Born April 29, 1933, in Keavy, Kentucky, she was the daughter of the late Fred and Gertrude Brewer.

Betty was a faithful, loving, devoted wife of 72 years to her husband and best friend, Don Stidham. Don and Betty’s love and devotion was special. According to Don, from the first time he held Betty’s hand, he never thought of anyone else. Their strong commitment to each other was evident.

Betty was a member of Mt. Zion Church of Christ. Over the years, she was a Bible School teacher for 3rd and 4th grade students.

Posted at 16:13h, 11 NovemberSo sorry we missed the funeral. Betty was the most organized and immaculate housekeeper I ever knew. She was a grand lady. We have so many good memories of meals together, croquet, and one of my best memories was Don and Betty’s visit after LeWynn’s birth. Many prayers for Brother Don, Tim and family, and Mark and family.
