Elizabeth Amos Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was the daughter of the late Hubert and Thelma "Reedy" Meador. She graduated in 1954 from Franklin High School. Betty worked as a legal Secretary for a major corporation and several law firms over her lifetime. Betty had a love for gardening, writing (published two books) and watching and caring for all of God's creatures surrounding their home.
Betty was the proud mother to Robert "Scott" Jenkins and Loving Mother-in-law to Lisa Jenkins. Nothing brought her more joy than her role as Grandmother to Elizabeth "Beth" Jenkins (husband, Kevin Gerby) and Matthew "Matt" Jenkins (Liz Cuellar.) Her family was her pride and joy. Betty married the love of her life in June 1970. Dewey "Ken" Amos, truly brought magic to her life. They met while she was looking for a magician to perform for Scott's birthday party. Ken answered that call and said all he wanted for payment was a home-cooked meal. The magic started and grew from there. They shared 55 wonderful, magical years together.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her sister, Kathy Kymbal.
