Betty Grace (Smith) Winters, 91, of Roan Mountain, Tenn., passed away on Monday, November 14, 2022, at Johnson City Medical Center. She was born April 27, 1931 to Amanda (Lewis) Smith and Keener Smith. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph; and her son, Roger “Murph” Winters; as well as nine siblings.
Betty enjoyed working in her flowers, reading and working puzzles. She also liked feeding hummingbirds and watching the turkeys and deer.
Those left to cherish her memories are her daughter, Kathy Osborne and husband Rick, grandson Allen and LaDonna Osborne and great-grandson, Tyler Colbaugh; her sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews. Also, Betty had many special friends from Evergreen Free Will Baptist Church, where she was a life time member. Tony and Jean Eller, whom she loved dearly, were always so kind and available whenever she needed them; Katherine Shell was a dear friend; a very special niece, Iris Johnson, was like a daughter to her; and the Bible Study Ladies were a joy in her life.
