Shortly after she met and quickly fell in love with your soul mate Bobby Tanner. They wed in 1947 and were married for 49 years until his sudden passing in 1996. Together they had two children Bobbie Jean Tanner Owens and Richard Warren "Dicky" Tanner. Her and Bobby's lives were not only adventurous but also prosperous. Together they enjoyed offshore fishing, flying, hunting, teaching Sunday school, building multiple successful businesses, local politics and raising a loving family. In addition she was an instrument-rated pilot. Betty was unique for her time and may we all hope to have such a wonderful, special and fulfilling life. She was beloved and will be missed by all.
Betty is survived by: her daughter Bobbie Jean, her grandchildren Sunnye Owens-Garrett and Andrew Owens, her grandson in-law Brian Garrett and finally her great-grandson Grayson Garrett.
The family invites all of Betty's friends to come and celebrate her life with them at 4:00 p.m. on April 10th at the First Presbyterian Church in Lake Jackson. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Brazosport College to the Tanner Scholarship.
