Betty Ruth Justus

Betty Ruth Justus, age 76, passed away on Monday June 5, 2017 at her home. Betty was a member of the Roseann Evangelical Presbyterian Church and a home maker. Family members remember her sharing her loving home and eating her corn bread and potato soup. Betty often said that if she would be remembered for anything, it would be that she adopted and cared for a special young lady.

Betty was predeceased by her husband James Justus; son William Clark Justus; brother John Cecil Lasley; and her special canine companion Booboo. She is survived by her daughter Renee Stacy and husband Justin; son Billy Wayne Ricker and wife Kelly of Clinton, UT; grandchildren Brandi Justus Stacy and husband Mickey, Bradley Ricker, and Zachary Ricker; great grandchildren Alex Stacy, Gabby Stacy, Bryn Ricker and Mayla Ricker; daughters-in-law Tammy Justus and Lisa Smith.
