She is survived by her three children, daughter Teresa Ann Weaver and husband Timothy of Oklahoma City, son Olen Ray Hibbard Jr and his wife Lisa of Oklahoma City and son David and his wife Gayle from Chico, Calif. She will also be missed by a host of grandchildren that she loved and cherished. Betty showed her love of her family through incredible Sunday dinners prepared with her loving hands.
