Beloved wife, mother, grandma, sister, daughter and friend....
Betty was born the first of three children on July 11,1946 to Bill and Loree Karas in Tulsa, OK. Betty graduated high school in Mart, TX in 1964. She met the love of her life, Charles Williams while waiting tables at a small cafe. They were soon married on September 18, 1964 and lived in Waco, TX where they had three daughters, Ginger, Julie and Rebecca (Becky).
After graduating high school, Betty received education in secretarial skills and work. She worked in the healthcare field for many years doing medical transcription before moving on to administrative work and supervision. Betty worked for several different employers during her long career to include the Veteran's Administration, hospitals, clinics and property management companies.
Betty was a long time member of Church of the Open Door in Waco, TX. Betty and Charles considered this their church home and family. Betty assisted with several different ministries including prayer team, outreach, food pantry, and a ladies’ group that was very dear to her heart called Overcomers. Both Betty and Charles were blessed by this church and the church members.
Betty had a strong faith in God, a deep and unconditional love for her husband, daughters, grandchildren, family and close friends. She will be deeply missed and honored by the many memories she leaves behind.
