For 45 years, they were a well-known elderly couple frequently seen at local spots like the drug store, Dollar store, the Marketplace, and the Flea Market.

Her sister, Donna Lee Hunt (Gary), and brother, Danny James Kerby (Tina) stand by her memory, along with foster siblings Patty L. Pippin, Wanda J. Holt, and Jeffery R. Stewart, all of Baldwin County.

Betty-Dean leaves behind her devoted children: daughters Virginia Kaye Perry (Edwin Cordero), Samantha Perry Goodrich (Phillip), and son Robert Lamar Perry, Jr., who will cherish her always.
