Betsy Evans Griffith, age 82, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ  August 23, 2021, after a long battle with dementia. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.

Born on March 29, 1939, Betsy was a lifelong resident of Fox Hill in Hampton. She was a member of Fox Hill Central United Methodist Church where she sang in the choir for many years.  She loved to sing and enjoyed singing at events for family and friends.

Betsy worked for the Commissioner of Revenue in Hampton and retired in 2010.  She was kind to everyone and never met a stranger.  Betsy was the epitome of selflessness.  She would always put others' needs before her own.  Betsy enjoyed gardening and cooking.  Her red velvet cake was a family favorite.  She was most proud of her family and loved caring for them.  Betsy was a wonderful and loving mother, grandmother, and friend and will be greatly missed.

Betsy was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin of 54 years; her parents, Johnson and Katherine Evans; and her granddaughter, Caroline Griffith.  She is survived by her three children, Mark Griffith (Lisette), Michael Griffith, and Susan Goetz (Kevin); two grandsons, Steven Griffith (Ellen) and Carter Goetz; four granddaughters, Jillian Dalton (Travis), Katherine Coltrain (James), Riley Goetz and Avery Goetz; two great granddaughters, Maggie Griffith and Ruby Dalton; her sister, Jean Raines; her brother, Jake Evans; and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Pat Quinn and Butch Kilmon for their loyalty and dedicated friendship to Betsy during her illness.  Mark and Susan would like to express their deepest gratitude to their brother Michael who lived with and cared for their mother for nine years.  It was because of Michael's devotion to their mother that she was able to remain at home throughout her long illness.

The family will receive friends at Fox Hill Central United Methodist Church on Friday, August 27, 2021 from 1-2PM. A funeral service will follow at 2PM with interment in Parklawn Memorial Park afterwards.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donation be made in her memory to the church or to the Alzheimer's Foundation.
