Visitation will begin at 10 AM and a Celebration of Life service will be held at 1:30 PM. A private burial will follow at Highland Memory Gardens Mt Washington, 279 Landis Lane, Mount Washington, KY 40047.
Along with her parents, Betty was preceded by her husband, the love of her life, Preston "Bailey" Thompson; her three brothers, Don Morgan, Bob Morgan, and Jack Morgan; her three sons Larry "LT" Thompson, Gerald "Dino" Thompson, and David "Dale" Thompson.
Betty is survived by her beloved daughters, Janet Neumann, Carolyn Mueninghoff, and Peggy Harnice-Moore; 16 grandchildren; 35 great children, and 29 great-great-grandchildren; her sister-in-law Ruth Morgan; along with a host of other family and friends. Betty left an amazing legacy of five generations of family love who adored and cherished her.
Betty was a member of Hurstbourne Baptist Church. She was also an avid supporter of the Center for the Arts, where she volunteered for over a decade. Betty was a loving devoted wife, a caring mother, and an amazing grandma. Betty was known for the love she had for her family and friends. She loved the little things in life, especially when they brought joy and smiles to the people around her. Betty never met a stranger and would be the first person to make someone feel welcomed. You could always find Betty surrounded by family and friends.
Betty always carried a contagious smile and sometimes even with a hint of feistiness in her eyes. Growing older never stopped Betty from doing anything she wanted. She was always on the move and couldn't wait for her next adventure.
Betty had a wonderful 99 years and had so much life in her that she wanted to share with whoever was around her. She loved deeply and was deeply loved.
In lieu of flowers, the family ask you to consider making a donation to the Crusade for Children, Norton Children's Hospital, the Humane Society or another agency of your choosing.
Out of respect for all, the family request that all guests wear a mask even if fully vaccinated for COVID to keep everyone healthy. (The funeral home does not provide masks, so please bring your own.)
