Obituary of Betty Blakeney

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Betty Jean Blakeney, who departed this life on November 10, 2023 in Reston Hospital. Betty was born on February 1, 1946 in Disctrict Of Columbia to Mary Virginia Lloyd and Edgar James Poe. Betty graduated from Sacred Heart Academy in 1963 and went on to marry her loving husband Randy Blakeney for 42 YEARS!! She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. Her hobbies and interests included organizing, surfing the web, talking to her grand and great-grandkids, cooking for her family and dressing up. Her special characteristics were that she had a HUGE heart; always thinking of others. No matter how little she may have had at the time, she would give it to you or find a way to make it happen. She loved scrapbooking and saving every moment, visiting the beach, coming to Dallas Texas to visit her great grands and going to the stores and speaking with people. She also enjoyed sending gifts even if it was just a thinking of you card with a couple dollars in it; she really loved her family wholeheartedly.

May she rest in peace forevermore!
