Betty was born in Dothan to the late Genelle Matthews and Byron Joiner. She was a Beautician at Nelson’s Salon in Dothan for 50 years. The beach was one of her favorite places, but as grandchildren, and great-grandchildren came, she thoroughly enjoyed her role as MeMaw! Betty had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around!
Glenn was born in Dothan to the late Charles G. and Lillian Simmons Cain. He was a 1970 graduate of Dothan High School, and soon served the City of Dothan as a fireman for 26 years. After retiring, he was employed by Dothan City Schools in the diversion program, and worked for 22 years. Glenn was a kind man, and like Betty, enjoyed the beach, but also treasured his role as Pop to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. After their retirement, they enjoyed going on cruises, and were always planning the next one!
Betty and Glenn were married in October, 1976, and enjoyed 49 years of marriage before passing away on the same day. She was the love of his life, and he was the love of hers. They were lifelong members of Southside Baptist Church.
They are survived by daughters Paige (Devin) Whittle, Sandi (Ron) Parrish, both of Dothan, and Tina (Richard) White of Montgomery; Grandchildren Douglas and Matt Mims of Dothan, Christopher (Jordan) Cooper of Knoxville, TN; Peyton (Peyton) Whittle, Opelika, Parker (Kirianna) Whittle Opelika, and Walker White of Montgomery. Glen is survived by his brother, Stan (Theresa) Cain, Dothan, and numerous cousins.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Linda Faison. In addition to her children, she is survived by brothers David Joiner, Charlie Prater; sister Ann (Frank) Thompson of Tampa, and numerous cousins and other and other relatives.
