Obituary of Betty Ann (Davis) Preston

Betty Ann (Davis) Preston was born February 8, 1923 in Seligman, MO to Edgar Poe & Lucy Mae (Feeback) Davis and passed from this life at 1:23 a.m. Saturday morning, May 23, 2015 in Tulsa, OK at the age of 92. Betty worked for Safeway groceries for 20 years as their food warehouse secretary where she became so endeared to her colleagues that they often visited her throughout her lifetime. She was known for her cooking, her compassionate giving and her ability to be content. She would often curl up in a chair simply enjoying her view from the window or reading a book with peace in her heart and a smile on her face. She was quick to reach out to others with her cooking and her compassion. Late in life Betty met Charles Neerman whom she knew was the love of her life. Their companionship and joy was obvious to all who observed them together. Sadly, he died before they could marry but his love was carried with her until her passing. As she carried his love we will carry her love. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was preceded in death by, her parents; her husband, Melvin H. Preston; her daughter, Marjie Ann (Preston) Miller; and her brothers, Edgar Jack Davis and George Davis; and her sister, Marjie Jane Davis. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Maryjane (Preston) Cassel-Wood & Carroll Wood of Pryor, OK; her sisters, Doris Davis of Gentry, AR and Katherine Davis Cantrell Burnell of McClain, VA; her grandchildren, Misty Jane Lane, Christopher D. Benefield, Cary D. Cassel, and adopted grandson, Chad Miller; her great grandchildren, Kristina Lane Mozingo, Taylor Cassel, Hunter Cassel; and great, great grandson, Aiden Mozingo.
