Born November 11, 1944, in MacArthur, WV, Betty grew up in Cranberry, WV. She was the daughter of the late Chando Malcomb Elmore and Bethel Margie Gill Elmore of Cranberry, WV. Betty was a 1963 graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School. She was a retired employee of the Raleigh County Board of Education where she was a cafeteria manager. Betty worked for the Board of Education for 30 years. She spent 25 of those years at Bradley Elementary School. She loved her job and the countless children she came in contact with. Betty was honored as Cook of the year in 1998-1999. She also cooked for the summer program Energy Express for 15 years. She made many lifelong friends in her years in the school system. Even after retirement Betty loved to talk about cooking and especially loved to see children she had cooked for all grown up. She was visited in the hospital by many of her friends/co-workers, had phone calls, and cards sent to her that meant a lot to her and to her family. Just months after retiring, Betty lost the ability to walk and was unable to visit much but her friends let her know she was not forgotten about in the school system. She was also preceded in death by her loving husband of 43 years Jackie Areon Treadway, a sister Helen Elmore Yancy, and a brother Robert Elmore. We were blessed to have Betty on this Earth as a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Those left to cherish her memory are two daughters. Karen Bethel Treadway Cline of Maple Fork, WV. Susan Lynn Treadway Kinney and her very special son-in-law Jeremy Evan Kinney at home. She also had two very special little angels who meant more to her than anything else in the world, Areon Chando Treadway and Drake Richard Areon Kinney, her grandsons both at home. Betty also had five dogs that were very special to her and kept her company: Boo, Lady, Tank, Lillian, and Buddy. Betty was survived by sisters-in-law Judith Scites and husband David of Powhatan, VA, Joyce Chiras and husband Bob of Waynesboro, VA, Sue Warner and husband William of Woodbridge, VA, and brothers-in-law Howard Treadway of Matthews, NC, Charles Treadway and wife Ruby of Doylestown, OH, and Frank Treadway and wife Linda of Barberton, OH. Betty was able to stay home thanks to the kind, caring efforts of the nurses at Hospice of Southern West Virginia. Betty had several nurses who came and loved them all so very much. Her wishes were to stay home and those were honored thanks to all of them. One very special nurse was Melissa Erskine, who was not just a nurse but a dear friend of the family who had known Betty for many years before her illness and was there for her in the end. On or off duty she was always there. Tammy Ridenhour, who was so kind, caring, and supportive. Words can't express the gratitude we feel for all of you angels. During the power outage Betty also had more guardian angels help her. Thanks to her neighbors the McMillions, Betty was able to stay in the comfort of her own home due to their generosity and making sure she had everything she needed. In keeping with Betty's wishes there will be no type of service. She will be cremated, brought back home and placed with Jackie where they will be together again. Don't mourn for Betty; just think of her as she was, something she may have said, taught you, a special memory you may have. Betty blessed many lives and will be missed but she will suffer no more. She walks again. on July 15, 2012.²
