Betty Joyce Bering's Obituary
Betty Joyce Bering, age 83, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2021, in Godfrey, IL.
Betty was born to George and Beulah (Green) Beal on July 4, 1938, in Mount Vernon, IL. Betty was a mother, first and foremost, to three wonderful children. Betty enjoyed Bunco parties and neighborhood porch and patio gatherings with her friends. She enjoyed bowling and organizing annual neighborhood garage sales. She loved Christmas and bargain shopped year-round for special presents. She also loved to shop on QVC Shopping Network. Betty was also an avid seamstress. She made all her children’s clothes throughout their childhood years; her daughter recalls that Betty even made clothes for her dolls and handmade Halloween costumes with love. She sold Tupperware and Avon while her kids were in school. Once the children were all raised, Betty became the Production Manager for ME Barber, Co. for 35 years and they were very good to her.
Betty is survived by her daughter, Kimberly Sue Bering; son-in-law Larry Morris; granddaughter, Lorraine Chaney; niece, Vickie; cousin, Sharon Armstrong, and her daughter, Cinda.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents; father of her children, Wilson M. Bering III; son, Wilson M. Bering IV; daughter, Tamala Lee Bering-Morris and her brother, Estol Beal.
