Her passions included gardening, cooking, and spending time with her grandchildren. She was known for her country cooking, and especially her fried peach pies.

She was preceded in death by her parents, C.H. “Claude” Bethune and Winnie Bethune; her sisters, Evelyn Davis and Jewell Allmon; and her brother, Waylon Bethune.

Survivors include her son, K. Lamar (Pam) Thomas; daughter, Janice Hughes (Charlie Stephens); brother, Tommy Bethune; grandchildren, Jason (Stacy) Thomas, Amy (Brad) Taylor, Adam (Jenny) Thomas, and Jared (Mandi) Powell; nine great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews also survive.

The family would like to offer special thanks to Tina Baine for her loving care.
