Betty Sue McDonald

A headstone for Betty and David is located in the Emblem Cemetery. Betty passed away on December 9, 2017 and was interred in the DFW National Cemetery. Please see this memorial for family links.

Bettie Sue McDonald, age 86, went to be with Jesus her Savior on Saturday, December 9, 2017.

Bettie was born in Ridgeway, Hopkins County, Texas on October 9, 1931. Bettie was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her spiritual gifts were giving and serving and she spent her life helping others and witnessing to everyone she met about Jesus Christ so that they, too, could spend eternity in Heaven with Him.

Bettie married David Doyce (D. D.) McDonald, the love of her life, when she was only 15, before a justice of the peace in Sulphur Springs, Texas on Friday, September 13, 1947. They recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary.

A resident of Dallas since 1947, Bettie worked at Collins Radio until she became a real estate broker. David and Bettie worked hard all their lives as real estate investors and God richly blessed them.

Bettie enjoyed going on cruises with her daughters. She went to Hawaii, Alaska, California, Mexico, Spain, Greece, and the Caribbean Islands.

Bettie had two children, five grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren, including triplets and twins, with one more on the way.

She was preceded in death by her parents, J.C. and Ethel Ferrell, her sister, Helen Gertrude Mobley, and her grandson, Kerry Allen Shields.

Left to honor Bettie and remember her love are her husband, David McDonald, their daughters, Veronica McDonald and Susan Herndon, four grandchildren, Jennifer Larsen, Jeremy Herndon, Jamie Jensen and Kenneth Shields, and eleven great-grandchildren, Harrison, Kendall, Hayden, Holden and Kathrine (Kate) Herndon, Isabella (Izzie), John (Jack) and Cooper Larsen, Mary Claire and Wesley Shields, and Eden Abigail Jensen.

The family would like to thank her caregivers during the past four years: Ava, Gloria, Jeanette, Ruby and Mabel.
Visitation with the family is from 1-2 pm, Thursday, December 14, 2017, at Jaynes Memorial Chapel. Funeral services will follow at 2:00 pm at Jaynes Memorial Chapel. Private family burial at the Dallas-Ft. Worth National Cemetery will be at 10:15 am on Friday, December 15, 2017.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to Billy Graham Evangelistic Services. This was her favorite ministry because she was saved at a Billy Graham Evangelistic Crusade in Dallas. Her favorite Bible verse was John 3:16.
