Betty Jean Poore age 88 of Briceville went home to be with her Lord and Savior whom she loved on November 11, 2025 surrounded by her loving family. She was a faithful member of Laurel Branch Baptist Church for 61 years. She married the love of her life in March of 1956 and they were blessed with a wonderful life and family. She was a member of the Eastern Star for many years until her health no longer permitted it. She had a servants heart.
