Mary Elizabeth Kay Betty Amonette passed away Monday, April 23, 2012. Elizabeth Amonette was devoted to her family throughout her lifetime and to the very end--she passed away at home with her husband and four children at her bedside. Her husband says, She was the best person, mother and wife that I have ever known. She did everything that she should have done. She enjoyed gardening and attending social events with her husband including dinners, dancing, and bridge club.
