Betty Lou Green joined her loved ones in Heaven on Saturday, October 10, 2020, at The Courtyard Assisted Memory Care in Oak Ridge. She was 88. She was born November 28, 1931 in Duff, TN, the daughter of Sam Carl Davis and Beatrice Ridenour Davis, who preceded her in death along with 4 brothers. Betty Lou’s beloved husband James Eugene Green, preceded her in death; battling cancer for years to take care of his beautiful wife. He would always hold his hand up in the air and said make me better, get me out of here. I have to take care of my beautiful wife. This was his purpose to live--for his sweet Betty Lou. James was born July 15, 1933 in Letcher, KY, the son of Dewey Alfred Green and Eloda Church Green. Betty was a house wife and mother and loved everyone. She always had a smile on her face and arms opened wide for a tight hug. She was of the Christian faith and looked forward to her Sunday meetings at the Courtyard to listen to Dave Arakawa praise the Lord and sing worship songs. He always played her favorite “ You Are My Sunshine”, and she would sing along with her daughter, Mary Lou, and clap her hands with excitement. She loved family cookouts and celebrating the holidays with family, and had a particular love for Christmas. Survived by four children, Margie Green Brock, David Green and Cathy Gibson, Pam Green Thacker and spouse Tim Thacker, and Mary Lou Green Underwood and spouse Scott Underwood, Jr. She is also survived by six grandchildren, and 10 great- grandchildren – Jay Brock, spouse Jessica McLaughlin Brock and Jayson and Jensen; Tonya Brock Hinton, spouse Scott Hinton, and Hunter and Hayden; Kaylie Thacker Dalton, spouse Terry Dalton and Makenzie and Brayden; Erica Underwood McGroom, spouse Joe McGroom, and Rowan and Emersyn; Megan Underwood Simmons, spouse Corey Simmons, and Lily and Parker; And Nathan Underwood.
