Elizabeth “Betty”, age 86 of Winchester, passed away on Thursday, March 26, 2026, at Viva Assisted Living. A native of Franklin County, she was born in Decherd on November 15, 1939.

Fondly known as Granny to all, she cherished the time spent with her beloved family, especially playing with her great-grandchildren. A social butterfly, Betty looked forward to her Thursday lunch date with friends, playing bingo and going to Vegas to meet up with friends. She enjoyed listening to Elvis and watching Hallmark movies, particularly enjoying the Christmas ones, and the Game Show Network. Her generous heart and kind nature was evident to all as she was always willing to give a lending hand.
