of McRae, AR

August 17, 1937 - May 9, 2023

Betty Lea Connor Ingle, 85, of McRae, Arkansas completed her earthly journey on May 9, 2023 at the Cornerstone Specialty Hospital of Little Rock with her daughter by her side. She was born on August 17, 1937 in Wellsville, Ohio to Francis Finley and Brigetta Lea Wunner Connor. She met and married Calvin E. Ingle on November 21, 1964 and had been married 34 years at the time of his death. She is also preceded in death by her parents; one brother, Francis Connor and three sisters, June Crawford, Darla Foster and Grace Kalaczynski.

She is survived by her three children, Wayne Everett (Diana) Shirey, Kevin Austin Shirey and Kathy Louise (Ralph) Greenman; one sister, Sharon Connor Miller; several grandchildren; great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild; along with a host of extended family and friends.

Betty was an active member of Union Valley Baptist Church in Beebe, Arkansas and loved spending as much time there as she could. She loved to go to yard sales, being busy with arts and crafts as well as traveling as often as she could. She and Kathy were looking forward to a trip to see family in the very near future.

Betty's greatest joy in life was children. She worked as a Childcare Professional for a large part of her life and finished her working career when she retired at 74 years young from the Cabot Patch Daycare. She loved her kids and especially her grandchildren and the great-grands. She was known to have a great sense of humor, even until the very end, that could be seen as a dry wit. She was eager to be with her family anytime she could be.

Funeral Services are scheduled for Thursday, May 11, 2023 at Union Baptist Church in Beebe, Arkansas with visitation at 12 noon, followed by the funeral service at 1:00 PM. Interment will be at Howell Cemetery in the Clay Community. All services are under the direction of Roller-Daniel Funeral Home, Searcy.
