Celebrating the life of
Betty Lucile Armstrong Becton
April 27, 1925 - February 24, 2018
Betty Lucile Armstrong Becton, 92, has now gone to be with her Lord and Savior. She was the middle child to be born to the late Arthur L. and Alice Armstrong. She graduated from Savannah High School in 1943 and later worked for the Railroad in the old “Red Building” on East Broad (now MLK Boulevard) as a clerk. She met the love of her life, the late Joseph E. Becton, Sr. who served our country in the US Coast Guard during WW II. Betty later became a school teacher’s aide with the Board of Education and worked at the various schools for over 18 years before retiring. Joe and Betty had one son, Joseph E. Becton, Jr. She was very proud of him and later in life gave her, her most proud moments, being a grandmother to (2) grandsons, Matthew and Michael. After all of these years, she finally had bragging rights about how her grandsons……She was so proud of them. Every chance she had, she was involved in their lives.
Surviving are her sister, Rose Lee Ott of Albany, GA, two nieces, two nephews, and their families and her devoted son, Joe Jr., daughter-in-law, Yvette, and her two most precious gifts from the LORD, her grandsons who she loved so very much, Matthew and Michael.

Dear Joey and Family, My heart goes out to you all in this time of great loss. Aunt Betty was really something else! I remember visiting Savannah as a child, and I have fond memories of her from the very beginning. We corresponded quite frequently for awhile when I got older, and it was always fun to get a letter from her. She kept me in the loop about the family and about what was going on. I loved her and will miss her. I will be thinking of you all and sending love and prayers to you.

Since death wasn't God's originally purpose for mankind it's very painful to deal with but please read the wonderful hope that the Bible holds out for us all at Revelation 21:3,4
