Betty Louise Blevins

Betty Louise Taylor Blevins of Princeton, WV departed this world on Friday, March 20, 2026 and entered into her eternal home in glory, serenaded by angels up to the throne. When God created her, He broke the mold because He wanted only one of her. She was loving, kind, patient, and most of all she knew how to pray. When she prayed, all of heaven paid attention. When she prayed, God moved on her behalf and answered her prayers because He knew who she was. She was the last surviving member of her family and was 94 years old.
