of Searcy, AR

March 19, 1929 - January 16, 2024

Betty L. Ferguson passed away Jan. 16, 2024 at Unity Health-Searcy Medical Center. She was 94.

Betty was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who took great pride in her family. She had a radiant smile and was a devout Christian with an unwavering faith. Before every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, Betty led her family in prayers of thanks, often growing tearful in her gratitude.
She was born on March 19, 1929 in West Helena and was married to her beloved husband, Billy Gene Ferguson, for nearly 50 years. They doted on their only child, Patricia, who Betty lovingly called ''Trishie.''

Betty was ''Mamal'' to her granddaughters, Andrea and Lori, who spent many a weekend and summer with her and Bill at their place in rural Lee County. She loved playing cards and games, especially the Marble Game, a board game that Bill created.
After Bill passed away in 1996, Betty moved to Searcy to be closer to Trishie and became a tireless volunteer at White County Medical Center.

She was also preceded in death by her parents, Norene and Ethan Elmer Allen and her siblings, Gene Allen and Francis Weeks.

She is survived by her daughter, Patricia Akers and son-in-law, Dan Akers; granddaughters, Andrea Cummings and Lori Clancy; great grandchildren, Garrett Haley, Danielle Haley and William Clancy and great-great grandchildren, Briar Haley, Benjamin Clancy and Gianna Clancy.

Betty's family would like to thank Unity Health and Arkansas Hospice for the outstanding care they provided her.

Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 23rd at Roller-Daniel Funeral Home, 411 East Race St., Searcy with committal to follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens in West Helena.
