Betty Lou Biby died November 13, 2024, in Purcell, Oklahoma, at the age of 75 years 2 months 4 days. Memorial Services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday, November 25, 2024, at the Wadley’s Funeral Chapel, entrusted to the care of Wadley’s Funeral Service.
Betty was born September 9, 1949, in Purcell, Oklahoma. As the youngest of eight children born to Ervin and Eula Mae (Finley) Moody, she grew up in a lively household where she forged lasting bonds with her siblings. Raised in Washington, she carried the values of her upbringing throughout her life, embodying resilience and warmth.
On July 15, 1977, she united in marriage with Butch Biby in Cleveland County, and together they established a loving home for their family. Betty devoted many years to a career in customer service within the banking sector, where her kindness and dedication touched countless lives.
Outside of her professional pursuits, she found joy in the simple pleasures of life, from shopping excursions to relaxing afternoons spent indulging in her favorite soap operas. Betty was very active and embraced community involvement as a member of the local Kiwanis Club, and she recently discovered the revitalizing joy of water aerobics at the Chickasaw Center in Purcell.
However, her greatest passion was her family; she treasured every opportunity to gather with them, especially relishing moments spent with her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In every aspect of her life, Betty radiated love, nurturing those around her with a spirit that will be dearly missed.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents, Ervin and Eula Mae Moody; her sisters, Carol Claxton and Shirley Elms; her brothers, Gary Moody, Merle Moody, Monroe Moody and Leon Moody; her grandson, Andrew Biby and her great-granddaughter, Haylee Jay McGinnis.
Survivors include her husband, Butch Biby; her children, JD Brooks, Rodney Biby, Charlotte Coulter, Janis Biby and Melissa Biby; her nine grandchildren, Cassidy Wheeler and husband, Matthew, Nathan Taylor, Chere Fielder, Janissa Chandler, Amanda Justice, Skylar Biby, Michael Biby, Tuff Burney and Aaron Biby; her 18 grandchildren, Dylon, Dallas, Dalton, Caitlynn, Catherine, Cameron, Collin, Jade, Andrew, David, JJ, Patience, Kodi and CJ; her brother, Gerald Moody and wife, Armelda; her close niece, Dena Kirk and numerous other nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
