Betty Frances Jones Wood left this world for her Heavenly home on Saturday, January 18, 2020. Betty was born in Orlando on February 12, 1931 to Joseph & Frances Jones. Betty married the love of her life, Edward Wood, Sr., on June 26, 1951. They have four children, Ed Wood, Jr. (Dana), Diana May (Ken), Susan Wood, and Vickie Lyons (Steve).

Betty was a strong Christian woman and was always willing to share her faith. She was also a prayer warrior. Throughout her life she served the Lord in many capacities: she taught Sunday School, teens, adults, sang in the choir, was an excellent pianist, she mentored young people, she had a card ministry, and served in any way that she could.

She loved her husband so much and dedicated her whole life to him and to her family. They enjoyed traveling and were able to visit the Holy Land, Europe, Japan, New Zealand and all 50 states in the U.S. They loved seeing all of God's creation. As a mom to four children, she was very loving and caring to each one. She kept the family organized, got everyone where they needed to go whether it was church, school, scouts, piano lessons or any other of the numerous activities. She was a great cook and her family especially loved her yeast rolls and cinnamon rolls.

Betty is also survived by six grandchildren: Stephen Wood (Julie), Michael Wood, Matthew May (Kristin), Michelle Hunter (William), Jessica Vig (Mike), and Cassidy Decker (Alex). Her great-grandchildren are: Katherine, Ellie, and Claire Wood, Hogan and Haylin Hunter, Allie Sidun, and Maddox May.
