Betty Jean Lucius, 83, passed away peacefully at Baptist Nursing Home in Calhoun City on Wednesday, August 16, 2017. Born April 6, 1934, she was the daughter of the late Spencer Lucius and the late Alto Hood Lucius. She was a member of New Providence Baptist Church, and was always faithful in her attendance, even when it was a struggle. Betty was very persistent with her goals, and one of her proudest moments was when she finally finished school in May of 2016, and fulfilled her lifelong dream at the age of 82. She was very proud of her brothers and loved being with her family and going places. She especially loved the holidays and any special occasion with them. A very kind and loving woman, her memory will be cherished forever in the hearts of her family and friends.
