Born in Fayetteville, WV to William and Annise (Koontz) Martin, she was the older and favorite sister to Gaye Evans. In middle school, Betty met the future love of her life, Tommy and immediately refused to give him the time of day. They would meet again after high school and share a wonderful life of travel and adventure. Betty and Tommy moved from the mountains of West Virginia and found their little slice of paradise in Maryville, Tennessee with their daughters Kathy and Robin. Settled into farm life, raised their girls, and established a home base to go explore the world. Betty enjoyed her life in east Tennessee where she hiked the mountains and worked her garden each summer alongside many faithful canine companions, most recently the cucumber thief known as Mickey. She celebrated her faith as an active member of Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church. What Betty loved most in this world, however, was her family. From the annual beach trip to South Carolina (23 years!) to family gatherings celebrating birthdays and holidays, Betty loved spending time with all the members of her family. She was incredibly proud to be a first-time great-grandmother this year. While Betty will most certainly be missed every day, she is now at peace with her Lord, where she can walk miles of beach and keep watch over her family. She is preceded in death by her parents, William and Annise Martin.

Tommy and Betty eventually found their little slice of paradise in Maryville, Tennessee with their two daughters, Kathy and Robin, here he worked as an air traffic controller. After retirement, Tommy took to the skies as a charter pilot. Bitten by the travel bug, Tommy and Betty roamed the globe to enjoy the beauties of Europe, an African safari, camping the wilds of Alaska with their girls, and Tommy's favorite, the stunning landscape of the American wild west. Tommy's favorite place, however, was home with his family and dogs. Known as Pop to many, he taught his kids and grandkids many life skills including how to drive, woodworking, and even how to wax a motorhome. When he wasn't working around his farm, Tommy could be found with a good western on TV and his canine companions by his side. Tommy was incredibly proud of all his family, including becoming a first time great-grandfather in May 2022. He loved nothing more than sitting with his family telling stories of "this ol' boy" he once knew, sharing his love of planes, and hearing what everyone had going on in their lives. Pop will be greatly missed by all of us. He is preceded in death by his wife of 69 years, Betty Platt, parents Tommie and Edith Platt, and sister, Jean Ann Raesly.
