Betty Lou Sanders Meyers, 84 went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 22, 2022, after a battle with COPD.
She was born on December 9, 1937, in Merritt, North Carolina to tobacco farmers Arthur Benjamin and Dora Paul Sanders and was the baby of seven. Bet spent her youth building houses out of tobacco sticks with her sister Gentry. On one occasion, it was a windy day and they built one under the house and started a fire to cook. It scared Mama Dora to death. She also worked on the farm until she graduated from Pamilco County High School in 1955. She attended East Carolina College in Greenville. Her life’s work was bookkeeping, and she passed that down to her daughter. Bet worked for Can Car / Tree Farmer for 14 years in Waycross, Georgia and then for Continental Eagle in Prattville, Alabama for 20 years when she retired and moved to Killeen, Texas to be near her daughter. She later moved to Kansas in 2020 until her death.
She was an avid reader and never missed a Charles Stanley sermon.
Bet, Betty Lou, Mama, Mimie, Grandma Betty is survived by her children Gene (Sherry) Arthur and Paula (Troy) Moseley; five grandchildren: Angel (Chris) Dixon, Michael (Brandy) Arthur, Erin (Erik) Daniels, Zach Moseley and Victoria Moseley; seven great grandchildren: Drew Hill, Paige Dixon, Kylie Dixon, Chandler Arthur, Jackson Daniels, Allie Daniels, and newest great grandson, Colson Bryan. She is also survived by her sisters, Wilma Whorton and Gentry Jones.
