Betty is survived by sons and daughters-in-law, Bill and Norma Hathcock, Larry and Debra Hathcock and Randy and Jenny Hathcock; grandchildren, Parker Hathcock, Gregory Hathcock, Stephanie Vaughn, Marcus Hathcock, Stephanie Henson, Randall Hathcock and Justin Hathcock; as well as beloved, nieces and nephews, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. 

Special thanks to Craig and Gretchen Heimbigner of Broomfield, Co. for their care, love and devotion to Betty for so many years. Thank you to her caregivers the past few months Sharon, Cynthia, Selina, Becky, Kissey, Raven and others including the staff at The Gardens.
