Betty Jean (Baker) LeFlore was welcomed into the arms of her Savior on October 23, 2023 in Palestine, Texas. She was born on May 26, 1942, in Guthrie, Oklahoma, to parents Harvey and Edna. Betty eventually made her home in Southeast Oklahoma and was a resident of the Cloudy community for over 40 years.
In her professional life, Betty served as an LPN at the local hospital for many years. She ended her nursing career at the Rowland Ellis Flatt Clinic, providing comfort and care to those in need.
