Betty Sue

Lee

Betty Sue Lee, 84, of Hope, AR passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Friday, February 13, 2026.

A devoted wife, mother, and Mamaw, Betty Sue was known for her kindness, strength, and a shining example of unconditional love. Born on November 8, 1941, in Patmos, AR, to Noah Cox and Edna Irene Olds Cox as one of 10 children. She worked several jobs and started several businesses in her lifetime but the most important thing to her was her love and dedication to her family.

Betty Sue loved sewing, quilting, reading, and her children and grandchildren. She was always happiest when spending her time taking care of someone. She was a shining example of unconditional love and sacrifice for the good of others. She was the rock and glue to her entire family and will be greatly missed. Betty Sue was a member of the Spring Hill Christian Church. The only thing she loved more than her family was her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and told her family on many occasions she was prepared to meet Jesus and walk hand in hand with her loving husband Brooks on the streets of gold.  She was a prayer warrior and a guiding light to her family and church community.

Betty Sue was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, seven brothers William, Earnest, Don, Hoyt, Durl, Jimmy, and Buddy.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Rhonda (Bobby) Tewalt, Wayne (Cynthia) Lee, Karen (Robert) Dodson, Stacie (Paul) Eubanks; two sisters Joan Lively and Barbara Burns; twelve grandchildren Brian Lee, Jana (Cole) Walker, Cody (Lindsay) Tewalt, Braden (Miranda) Dodson, Kade (Kaylee) Ford, Clint (Emily) Tewalt, Austin (Tiffany) Dodson, Kylan Ford, Hayden (Darcie) Lee, Whitnee Lee, Brooks Lee, and Katie Haddix; 13 great grandchildren; numerous nephews and nieces.
