Alma "Betty" Blaylock, 84, died December 4, 2021. She was a beloved daughter, wife, sister and aunt to many nieces and nephews, and caregiver to ones in need. Betty earned a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics from the Women’s College (UNCG) and worked for many years with Piedmont Natural Gas in Forsyth County. Later she worked with the NC Agricultural Extension Service in Stokes County where she met her husband, Franklin. She continued to work for the Extension Service in several counties in the area teaching Home Economics throughout the communities. When not teaching Home Economics, she helped on the family farm. Betty drove a tractor, set a table, and cooked a meal as good as anyone. She was an exceptional wife, homemaker, and caregiver to many in need and family members in declining health. She was the family anchor for our extended family. She led by humble example, thoughtful insight, and loved a good joke. Betty and Franklin were active in the Greensboro Jaycees for many years always striving to improve the community. Betty loved animals and rescued many. Her last rescue and constant companion, Rusty, will miss her greatly. Betty was a member of the First Presbyterian Church. Betty joins her husband, Franklin, of 51 years. Betty leaves behind a sister, Mary Lou Hawes, several nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.
