She was an avid fisherman, bowler and enjoyed spending time with all of her siblings and friends. Betty worked for Debbie’s Drive Service and the Polk County School Board in Lakeland. She moved back to Alabama in 1998 where she and her husband quickly became a part of the bowling community. She attended Calvary Assembly of God Church in Clio. After her husband went to meet Jesus, she continued bowling, fishing and quickly became a flower gardener. She enjoyed being out in her yard with her flowers. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Emory Henry “Buddy” Warren; twelve sisters and brothers; and one great grandson.
