Betty Jean (King)
Eaton
Betty Jean (King) Eaton, 97, of Greenville, Ohio, formerly of Dewart
Lake, Syracuse, Indiana, went to be with the Lord on Friday, June 7,
2019 at the Brethren Retirement Community in Greenville.
She was born on June 2, 1922 in Elwood, Indiana to the late James and
Marjorie (Jones) King.
In addition to her parents, Betty was preceded in death by her husband,
Virgil Eugene Eaton, whom she married on February 15, 1948; and her
brother, Robert King.
Betty was a faithful follower of Christ, and was a member of the
Calvary United Methodist Church in Syracuse. Serving in her church
consumed much of her time, Circle, Choir, For Fun, and visiting the
nursing homes. She loved to travel and kept her suitcase packed. Some
of Betty’s favorite things included singing in the Choir and being in
the Rhythm Band that visited local nursing homes for over 30 years. She
loved to collect poetry and even wrote a lot of her own. Several of the
grandkids' weddings included a poem written by Grandma just for them.
Betty is survived by her children and their spouses, Linda and Mike
Fourman of Greenville, Ohio, and John and Connie Eaton of Warsaw,
Indiana; her grandchildren and their spouses, Sarah and Tracy Soper of
Richmond, Indiana, Rachel and John Brown of Nappanee, Indiana, Matthew
and Kara Fourman of Maumee, Ohio, David and Mandy Fourman of Tipp City,
Ohio, and Aaron and Amy Fourman of Worthington, Ohio; her
great-grandchildren, Kade, Mason, Killian, Mera, Tyler, Heidi, Hallie,
Kate, Maddie, Ella, Charlotte, Jillian, Macy, and Lila; and her
numerous nieces and nephews.
A celebration of Betty’s life will take place at the convenience of the
family. Burial will follow at the Syracuse Cemetery in Syracuse,
Indiana at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be given in memory of Betty to the State of
the Heart Care, 1350 N. Broadway St., Greenville, Ohio 45331.
