Betty Thompson, age 94 of Del City, passed away Wednesday February 26, 2020. Betty Jo Hawkins was born March 3, 1925 in the Bryant Community west of Purcell, the 5th of 7 children born to Wes and Oma Hawkins. She was raised in Bryant and attended school there. Betty’s life would change forever when she met a young service man from Wayne who was home on leave. By chance, at the Kennedy Drug Store, Betty met Tommy Thompson, and they quickly hit it off. On October 14, 1946 in Purcell, Betty and Tommy were united in marriage. They made their home in Del City where together they raised 4 children, son, David and daughters, Linda, Sue and Vera. Betty worked tirelessly as a homemaker, caring and providing for her family. She was frugile, and always made sure that Tommy and the children were looked after. She was an excellent seamstress and made clothing and dresses for her many dolls. She was crafty and created the most beautiful floral arrangements, and she shared her talents with her family and friends. She was the best mother; a fun loving and precious grandmother. Betty had a strong faith and was a longtime member of the Free Will Baptist Church. She will be dearly missed!
