Betty J. Grizzle

Betty J. Grizzle, a beloved member of her family and community, passed away peacefully on December 8, 2024, in Dayton, Ohio. Born on May 12, 1949, in Fort Riley, Kansas, Betty lived a life marked by kindness, love, and a deep commitment to her faith.

A dedicated member of the Evangel Church of God, Betty volunteered countless hours, giving her time and energy to support the church community that she cherished. Her spiritual dedication was matched only by her love for history, particularly her fascination with biblical archeology, which fueled her passion for learning and sharing stories of the past. In her spare time, Betty found joy in crocheting, creating warm and beautiful pieces that were cherished by those who received them.

Betty is survived by her loving husband, Wayne Grizzle; her daughter, Misty Grizzle-Billheimer, and her husband, Victor Billheimer; as well as her siblings, Frank (Phyllis) Lucas and Cathy (Tom) Cabanaw. Her legacy of kindness and compassion will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Kermit Lucas and Flora (John) Calvert, who undoubtedly welcomed her with open arms. Betty’s spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, remembered for her unwavering love and gentle nature.

Services will be held for Betty at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Betty's memory to Samaritan's Purse.
