Life’s Reflections

Time To Be Born:

Betty Everett Price was born December 5, 1957, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Edna M. Everett and the late Benjamin S. Everett, Sr.

Time to Reflect

Betty attended Overton High School. She worked for Walgreens Pharmacy for over 20 years as an EXI. She also worked for The Board of Education for two years.

Time To Go Home

Betty departed this life Sunday, March 5, 2023. After a lengthy illness, she fought a battle that God brought to an end. Preceding her in death were her father, Benjamin S. Everett, and her son Charri Antiwon Everett.

She leaves to cherish her memory her son Maurice Yarbough; her mother, Edna Everett; and three sisters, Angela (Kelly) Ballard, Barbara Everett, and Yvonne Bradford, one brother Benjamin (Glenda) Everett; eight granddaughters, Lexus Everett, Aricka Walker, Kei’Anna Everett, Da’Mauria’ Everett, Kennedy Colbert, Charina Robertson, and Cemetria Everett, two grandsons, Maurice Everett, Jr. and Kynon Desquare, six great-grandchildren, and a host of nephews, nieces, and cousins.

Jesus said to her “I am the resurrection and the Life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.

John 11:25

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Hebrews 4:16

“He will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain. All of that has gone forever.”

Never Forgotten

I think of things you used to say And all that you would do At some point every single day My thoughts will turn to you To lose you was a bitter wrench

The pain cut to my core I cried until my tears ran out And then I cried some more

This wouldn’t be your wish for me That I would ever be said

So I try to remind myself

Of happy times we had I know I can’t be with you now And you can’t be with me

But safe inside my heart will stay That’s where you will always be

Love. Your Grandchildren

Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life’s been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch If my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart, rejoice with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

“I’m Free”

I will forever love you son, Love Mom

Realizing that each tomorrow is not ours to understand and knowing that God never allows us to hurt needlessly wastes our pain for every loss. He allows to come to us is followed by rich gains. Today in our loss, our hurt and pain, we recognize our gains in our friends and loved ones, for your whispered prayers, your flowers, your cards, your calls, your food and every deed of kindness have been a source of strength and comfort. We are eternally grateful and may God forever Bless You. Special Thanks to Pastor Robert Mathews and New Hope Baptist Church, Crossroads Hospice Care and Virginia Jackson.
