     Betty Jean Willis was buried at Roselawn Memorial Gardens, 2880 North Franklin Street, Christiansburg, Montgomery Co., Virginia.6 She Betty Jean Willis (Anders) Linkous, 92, of Christiansburg and Elliston, VA, passed away on Monday, April 21, 2025, in Salem, VA. She was born on November 4, 1932, in Check, VA and was preceded in death by her parents, Roscoe and Bonnie Vest Willis, husbands Frank W. Anders and Herbert M. Linkous, and brothers, Howard and Houston Willis. She is survived by daughters Charlotte Anders of Atlanta, GA and Donna Anders Caldwell; son-in-law Steve Caldwell of Salem, VA; grandchildren, Amber Reed Sappington (Jarrett) of Atlanta, GA, Emily Caldwell of Salem, VA, and Parker Caldwell of Alexandria, VA; step-grandchildren, Alexander Albert of New York, NY and Caroline Albert of Philadelphia, PA; and great-granddaughters, Annie and Taylor Sappington of Atlanta, GA. Betty’s mom and dad owned Roscoe’s Country Store in Check, VA, and she talked about the many farmers who would visit the store to buy almost anything they needed, even trading butter and eggs for merchandise. Living in the country led her to meet her first husband, Frank Anders, while he was working on power lines nearby and renting a room from her parents. They had many great years together, raising two beautiful daughters, gardening and canning, and traveling to places like Myrtle Beach and NASCAR races before his passing in 1994. Betty worked for nearly 40 years at Wade’s Supermarket, embracing her work and department as if she owned it exclusively, and learning new technology to support the business as it evolved over the years. She was always on the move, stocking shelves, ordering dairy goods, socializing, and checking out customers at the store. Betty got reacquainted with her second husband, Herbert Linkous, at Wade’s as he came in to “shop” frequently, and they spent nine wonderful years together, dancing the night away, whether it was at an event, the Floyd Country Store or in their garage. They also enjoyed traveling to Bluegrass and Gospel Festivals, Pigeon Forge and they even went on a couple of cruises which Betty quickly checked off of her bucket list. Betty was an amazing southern cook and enjoyed many meals with family, often on Sundays after church. The meals always included her homemade jelly and preserves and fresh vegetables from the garden or canned goods that she had lovingly prepared from the last summer of crops. Most of all, she was a servant of God, faithfully attending church services each Wednesday and Sunday, most recently as a member of New Hope Church of God. Each year, she helped make chocolate Easter eggs that were sold as fundraisers for her church. She was well known for her crocheted dish cloths which were always in demand from her friends. Betty will be remembered as a loving and caring mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a strong woman who never hid her opinion, especially when it came to your hair or clothes. We all have fond memories of her comments, and are thankful that God let us keep her for the time that we had. Betty always had beautiful handwriting and in 8th grade wrote an essay on “What a Good Citizen Means to Me.” “A good citizen is nice to be around. They make friends very easily and get along nicely with people throughout the country. They share with others, and treat them as they would like to be treated.” Rest in peace, good citizen. A private family burial will follow at Roselawn Memorial Gardens mausoleum in Christiansburg, VA.6 She was born on November 4, 1932 at Check, Floyd Co., Virginia.1,2,5,6 She married Franklin Webb "Frank" Anders on December 21, 1948 at Blacksburg, Virginia.1,2,11,3,12,6 As of December 21, 1948,her married name was Anders. As of September 18, 2004,her married name was Linkous.13 Betty Jean Willis married Herbert McCarthy Linkous on September 18, 2004 at Montgomery Co., Virginia.13,6 Betty Jean Willis died on April 21, 2025 at Salem, Roanoke Co., Virginia, at age 92.6
