Bessie “Betty” Elizabeth Washburn, 90, of Holts Summit, Missouri passed away Saturday, October 13, 2007 at Summit Villa in Holts Summit, MO. She was born December 14, 1916 in Princeton, Kentucky to Albert and Martha (Nichols) Boitnott. On September 22, 1934, she was united in marriage to Joseph C. Washburn, who preceded her in death on Feburary 18, 1992.
She will be sadly missed by her one daughter, Jo Ann Litty and husband Jim of Holts Summit, Missouri, two very beloved grandchildren, Deborah Lynn Anzalone and husband Bob of Fenton, Missouri, Chris Litty and wife Lesa of New Bloomfield, Missouri and two beautiful great-grand-daughters, Bethany Litty of Columbia, Missouri and Makayla Litty of New Bloomfield, Missouri.
Mam-Ma, as Betty, was known by all her family and close friends was especially fond of her beloved son-in-law Jim Litty. Betty’s husband J.C. was the pastor of many churches in Missouri. Together, they spent almost 40 years in the ministry. In the early years of their ministry, Betty arose early on Sunday mornings and rounded up many families to attend Sunday School and Church. She had worked several years as a sales clerk in the women’s department in a downtown St. Louis boutique. Betty will be remembered for her love of reading, especially of politics, the St. Louis Cardinals, her churchs and most of all her family.
