Betty Jean Harris' Obituary
Betty Jean Harris, 76, of Tucson, AZ, formerly of Casper, WY passed away peacefully and surrounded by Family on June 2, 2022.
She was the Matriarch of our Family, and even in death, continues to be the bond that holds us together. Betty was known for her thoughtfulness, her contagious smile and her superior potato-salad recipe. She had an amazing sense of humor and always knew how to have a good time. Betty was the definition of strength and perseverance and taught all of us how to get back up after we fell down. We are lucky to have spent so many incredible years with her, but they will never be enough. There is an immeasurable hole left in the hearts of everyone who knew her, but we find peace in knowing she is no longer in pain. One day, the universe will bring us back together.
