Betty's family moved back to Oklahoma from California in 1959. She graduated in 1961 from Tahlequah High School. She married her best friend, Dale, on December 27 the same year. She became a mom on September 8, 1963, and again on June 16, 1966, making Keith and Kevin the luckiest children. She was a den mother in Cub Scouts. She managed to help run the family business, managing convenience stores until she told Dale, "Listen, we need to talk about selling some stores or get a new wife and and I haven't decided which." She worked in the malt shop for her mother-in-law. She loved the outdoors. She loved to work in her flower beds, weeding, barefoot usually. She loved to water ski, snow ski, travel and go on adventures and vacations. She loved to sew, paint shirts, and sweatshirts as gifts. She was talented as she was unique. She loved being a grandma to not only her grands, but their friends over the years that came in and out of grandma's house. She was loved and treasured by all who were lucky enough to know her.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Junior, Sam and Jess Christie and James Wilson, Geneva, Jenetta and one grandson, Michael Davis.

Survivors include her devoted and loving husband of 63 years and 10 months, Dale, sons, Keith (Connie) Davis, Kevin (Kathryn) Davis, grandchildren, Mandy, Brian and Kaitlyn, Chelsea, Whitney and Eric, Cheryl, Brianna and Tyler, and Lacey, and 21 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild, and her only surviving brother, Bob Christie and a whole lot of extended family and even non relatives that she made feel as if they were family.

The family would like to thank everyone from Cherokee Nation Home Health and Hospice, Thank you to Teresa McLain and cousin, Haleigh Reed.
