Betty Jean

Petty

Services for Betty Jean (Page) Petty, 92, of Ratliff City, are scheduled for 1:00 P.M., Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Countyline Baptist Church with Rev. Jamie Griffin and Rev. Mike Johnston officiating. Interment will follow at Duncan Municipal Cemetery. Services are under the direction and care of Alexander Gray Funeral Home in Ratliff City.

Betty was born July 17, 1934, in Tussy, to the late Mr. Luther Jimmie Page and Mrs. Ima Omega (Tivis) Page. She departed this life Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at her home in Countyline.

Betty was raised at Countyline and attended school at Velma. She married Kid Oliver Petty, and together they made their home in the area. During the Korean War, Kid was called to service while Betty remained at Countyline. After his discharge, they moved often, following the oilfield, until his death on January 30, 1966. Following the loss of her husband, Betty returned to Countyline to care for her mother, Ima. Her life was marked by steady devotion to work, family, and community. She worked as a waitress at the Ratliff City Café for 17 years, and later cleaned houses and offices. She continued caring for her mother until her mother’s passing in 2011. Faith was an important part of Betty’s life. She was a past member of the Church of Christ and later was baptized into the Countyline Baptist Church, where she remained a continued source of support. In church and throughout the community, she was lovingly known as “Aunt Betty,” a name that reflected the warmth and affection so many felt for her. She thought of her nieces as her own, and she especially loved spending time sitting on her front porch. Betty Jean Petty will be remembered for her faithful heart, her enduring care for those she loved, and the kindness she shared with her church and community. Her life leaves a lasting memory in the many people who were blessed to know her.

Preceding her in death are her husband, Kid Petty; brother, Jimmie “Tinker” Page; special cousin, Jerry Don Tivis.

Survivors include her nieces, Jackie Ponder and her husband David of Ratliff City and Jaquita Page of Countyline; nephews, Jason Ponder of Ratliff City, Stetson Page and fiancé, Molly Appleby of Kingsville, TX; special family, Janet Sullivan, Judy Sullivan and husband Nub; numerous other family and friends.

Pallbearers will be David Ponder, Stetson Page, Chris Tivis, Jason Ponder, Brent Perkins, and Connor Armstrong.

Honorary bearers are Jeff Tivis, Derrel Tivis, Nub Sullivan, Doug Briscoe, and the men from the Countyline Baptist Church.

Visitation will be held Friday evening from 5-7 P.M., at the Alexander Gray Funeral Home in Ratliff City.
