    • Betty Ann (Turner) Lepley September 19, 1935 - October 15, 2019
      Betty Ann Lepley, 84, formerly of Ozark, Arkansas, went home to be with the Lord on October 15, 2019, in Frisco, Texas. She was born in Cass, Arkansas, on September 19, 1935 to Samuel and Lucy White Turner. As a young child, Betty moved with her family from Cass to Hammond, Indiana. She attended Hammond High School where she was a member of National Jr. Honor Society, the girls athletic club, and the school band. She graduated in 1953, and married William Cunningham on September 19th of the same year. They went on to have 2 children, Allen, and Laura. In 1971, Betty and her family moved to Alma, Arkansas. After the death of her husband William, she would later marry Donald Lepley Sr, and move to Oklahoma City. Donald and Betty eventually settled in Ozark in 1985, where Betty served the coffee boys and all of Ozark, at the Ozark Restaurant. She was a faithful member of the Webb City Baptist Church and enjoyed her trips with her lady’s Sunday school class. Betty is known best for her column in the Spectator for “Betty’s Briefs”. When she wasn’t writing for the local community she busied herself crocheting, working crossword puzzles, and collecting Betty Boop memorabilia.

      She was preceded in death by her parents Samuel and Lucy Turner, first husband, Bill Cunningham, and late husband, Donald Lepley; brother, Larry Turner; son, Allen Cunningham; step-son Don Lepley Jr; step-daughter, Debbie Goins; and grandsons Brian Howe, and Austin Goins. She is survived by brothers, David Turner and wife Dottie; Bruce Turner and wife Beverly; John Turner and wife Jan; daughter Laura George and husband Frank, step-daughter Carol Kautz and husband Terry; grandchildren, Leah Burgett, Cassandra Woody, Billy Cunningham, Laura Baiamonte, Audrey Garcia, Kelly Goins, and Tiffany Boone; and her great grandchildren, Ashlin and Brenton Burgett, Owen Woody, Olivia and Molly Baiamonte, Devyn, Dakato, Delilah Boone.
