Betty June Millard, age 90, formerly of Pleasanton, Kansas, passed away Friday, October 11, 2024, in Liberty, Missouri. Betty, the daughter of Albert Charles and Opal Louise (Bott) Morris, was born on December 5, 1933, in Hoisington, Kansas. She was a member of the Assembly of God Church all of her adult life. Betty began her working career as a waitress, but later worked as a records clerk at Western Insurance, in Fort Scott, KS, then in various positions for MetMor and MetLife in the Kansas City area. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother, and an active participant in the lives of her five generations. She enjoyed crafting, crocheting, sewing, and working jig-saw puzzles. She loved every variety and color of flowers, and bird watching, especially hummingbirds. She was an avid reader for herself, but could make a story come to life for her grandchildren, as she read to them.
She was preceded in death by her parents, two sons, James Allen Millard and Albert LaVern Millard, two daughters, Brenda Darlene Birkes and Pamela Ann Folsom, a brother, LaVern, eight sisters, Norma, Virginia, Shirley, Delores, Beverly, Janice, Rosalie, and Donna, and four grandchildren, Matthew, Mark, Stephen, and Shane. Betty is survived by a son, Jimmy Wisbey (and partner, David), three daughters, Bonnie Powers (and husband, Don), Debra Wilson (and husband, Emil), and Brenda Shinn (and husband, Dan), a brother Gary Morris (and wife, Mary), and a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.
