Celebration of Life for Laura Jo Nigh Bettis, 62, of Cache, OK, will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 29th, 2023 at Whinery-Huddleston Funeral Service Chapel.
Laura was taken from her family far too soon due to the aggressive nature of pulmonary fibrosis. Her last breath was taken on April 12, 2023. Laura was surrounded by her loved ones as she transitioned from her physical being.
Laura graduated from Eisenhower High School in Lawton, OK in 1978. Shortly upon graduation she left Lawton but returned to the community with two of her sons, Phillip, and Marshall Cabe in September of 1994. She took a temporary position at Fort Sill National Bank which evolved into a 26-year career, serving her community, and becoming Assistant Vice President.
Laura enjoyed bowling on Mondays at Twin Oaks Bowling Center on Ft. Sill with her friend for ladies’ night out. It is safe to say that Laura never met a stranger. Due to the struggles, she had experienced in her lifetime, it was an unspoken mission of hers to help others in need. She helped many people she knew as well as many she did not.
Laura is preceded in death by her parents, Patricia Joy Beemer and biological father Ronald C. Nigh. She was unfortunately preceded in death by her amazing sons Phillip and Marshall Cabe, as well as siblings Ronald Duane Nigh, Tina Marie Nigh and stepsister Diana Lynn Hanks.

She is also survived by her son Edward Charles Frank and his wife Dr. Kara Durand along with two beautiful grandsons Magnus and Henrik Frank of Oakland, California.
