Betty was born Aug. 3, 1933, in Hot Springs, Ark. to the late Leroy and Inona Mann Williamson and was called to her heavenly home
Sept. 12, 2011. Granny or Nanny, as she was called by everyone, retired as a nurse from the State of LA Social Services. Granny was an incredible witness for our Lord with everyone she came in contact with. She loved her children beyond
measure.
Granny was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Marion Lee Gorum, Sr., whom she was married to for 57 years.
Left to cherish the precious memories of Granny will be her children and their spouses, Steve and Janie
Gorum, Vicki and Dewayne Pylant, Mark and Pat Gorum, Linda and Larry Young and M. L. Gorum, Sr., and Nettie Gorum, 16 grandchildren, numerous great grandchildren, along with many extended family members and a bounty of wonderful friends.
