High School, she pursued her passion for nursing, earning a scholarship from the River Oaks Friendship Club and attending Hermann Hospital’s Nursing School.

In 1953, Betty married Dale Seay, embarking on a beautiful journey that included the joys of parenthood with their daughters, Sherry and Mary. Despite facing personal tragedies, Betty found fulfillment in her career in Occupational Nursing, making a significant impact at institutions like USAA, Lone Star Brewery, and Pearl Brewery.

Returning to Houston in 1969, Betty continued her nursing career, eventually establishing the Health Center at Geosource, Inc. Active in professional organizations, she formed enduring friendships and contributed to health education by teaching CPR classes. Betty’s role as a grandmother brought her immense joy, and she was actively involved in her community through volunteer work and her passion for the arts.

Before Dale’s passing in 2008, Betty displayed remarkable resilience while caring for him at home. In Sun City, TX, she remained dedicated to community service, participating in organizations such as the Daughters of the Nile and The Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

Betty’s legacy of love and service lives on in her daughters, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter. She will be remembered for her kindness and grace.
