Betty Price

Betty Lou (Ewy) Price, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home in Perry, Oklahoma, on March 8, 2025, at the age of 93. Betty was born in Perry on September 17, 1931, to Harold "Buck" Ewy and Luella (Chenoweth) Ewy. She was one of six siblings: Melvin "Bub" Ewy, Vicky (Ewy) Beier, Dan Ewy, Connie Ewy (who preceded her in death), and Ruth Ewy (who also preceded her in death).

Betty graduated from Perry High School before marrying Lenard James. Together, they had three children: Galen James, Dennis James (who preceded her in death), and Donna (James) Jones. She was a proud and devoted mother, always supporting her children in everything they did.

In addition to her role as a mother, Betty was a cherished grandmother to six grandchildren: Joshua James, Jeremy James, Levi Jones, Makila (Jones) Robinski, Dylan James, and Cale James. Her legacy continues with 16 great-grandchildren, whom she loved dearly and took great pride in.

Betty had a long and fulfilling career, including serving as the postmaster in Morrison, Oklahoma. Later in life, she enjoyed running her own rental property business. She was known for her warmth, kindness, and loving nature. She enjoyed creating beautiful, handcrafted gifts using a variety of media, including paint, wood, and sewing. Betty’s handmade gifts will always be cherished by her family. Betty also enjoyed spending time square dancing and made her own beautiful dresses. More than anything Betty loved it when her family was gathered together, spending quality time with one another. Her home was always filled with warmth, love, and acceptance.

Betty never missed an opportunity to brag about her children’s and grandchildren’s accomplishments to anyone who would listen. She was a constant source of support, love, and pride for her family.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew her, and her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

A memorial service will be held in her honor on March 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Perry Church of the Nazarene, located at 829 Jackson St., Perry, OK 73077. Flowers may be sent to the church for the service.
