Betty was born December 29, 1929 in La Harpe, Illinois, a daughter of John E. and Della Mae (Harmon) Blythe.  She married George Roth in June 8, 1957 in Rock Island.  George passed away suddenly on March 24, 1973.  Betty worked as a hairdresser for her whole career and never truly retired.  She loved her job and was very fond of making people feel better about their appearance.  Betty taught Sunday School in earlier years at Edgewood Baptist Church, where she was a member.  She also was active in the PTA, serving as President for a time.  Betty loved riding horses as a child.  Later in life she enjoyed exploring her family history through genealogy and doing crossword puzzles.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Stephen J. (Cindy) Roth, Moline and Gary (Jane) Roth, Salem, Iowa; 10 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren; sister, Mae Dell Tate, Dallas City, IL and many extended family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George; son, David; brother, John F. Blythe and great granddaughter, Jazmine.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Maggie and her team at Genesis Hospice for their excellent level of care.
