Watkins, Jr, who died in 2011. Also preceding her in death was a sister, Joann Sovine Harlow; an infant daughter, Debbie Kay Watkins; and a son-in-law, Jack Kirby. Miss Betty, as she was known, served as school secretary for over 35 years at Altizer Elementary School. It was her home away from home. Her greatest joy was watching students enroll for school and come back years later and enroll their own children. She and her husband, Sam, were true supporters of the school and the community for most of their married life.
