Sarah "Betty" Weaver

Sarah "Betty" Weaver, a long-time resident of Toney, Alabama, died Saturday, March the 19th at her home. Born on July 6, 1929, Betty was the daughter of the late John and Bessie Lipscomb.  She was preceded in death by her husband Buddy Weaver, sons: Gary, Allen, and Greg, brothers: James, Murphy, Charlie, and John Jr. Lipscomb, and sister Altie Artis.

Betty spent her early childhood working hard in the cotton fields of Alabama, before her parents found work in the city.

They were also active in their church and Eastern Star.

Betty retired from Redstone Arsenal as a photographer in 1985. She was a longtime active member of Murphy Hill Baptist Church. She enjoyed helping and taking care of others, especially when it involved driving to appointments, or cooking for those she loved! She enjoyed good food and socializing. She also liked taking pictures of God's beautiful creation!
