Mrs. Betty Barham was born October 21, 1933 to parents Jim and Lillie May Graham and entered into Heaven on December 2, 2021 after a lengthy illness and accident.

Mrs. Betty fell in love and married her husband, Mr. Clyde Barham and they shared 65 blessed years together and raised two sons that were the apple of her eye, Michael Barham and Wayman Barham.
