Mrs. ^ctty y^risicy, a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, was born to the late Ulysses Harris and Ms. Marjorie A. Williams on June 18, 1944, in Lincolnton, Georgia. She started her journey on February 27, 2000, at Doctors Hospital.
Accepting Christ in her life at a young age, she was baptized at Ebenezer Baptist Church of Lincolnton, Georgia, under the leadership of Rev. O. S. Dotson. She was a graduate of Lucy G. Laney and also attended Augusta Tech and Random Business College.
Betty was united in Holy Matrimony to Stewart R. Ansley, Sr. To this union two sons were born, Stewart R. Ansley, Jr. and Derek Ansley. She was devoted to her family and filled their hearts with her charming smile, love and kindness. They'll cherish all the joy she brought them for time and space can never divide their memories.
She leaves to cherish her memory: a devoted husband, Mr. Stewart R. Ansley, Sr.; two sons, Stewart R. Ansley, Jr. and Derek Ansley; mother, Mrs. Marjorie A. Williams; mother-in-law, Mrs. Ina R Ansley; daughter-in-law, Ms. Antonia J. Ansley; six grandchildren, Raisen Howard, Rachelle Howard, Christopher Lyons, Taylor Ansley, Xavier Ansley and Jordon Ansley; and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and friends.

God saw the road was getting rough The hills were hard to climb,
He gently closed those weary eyes and whispered, `Peace Be Thine. 33 The weary hours and days ofpain
the sleepless nights have passed. rThe ever patient worn outframe hasfound sweet peace at last.
