Betty J King of Bradenton, passed away on May 27, 2021.   Born in Englewood, TN, Betty moved to Bradenton, FL in 1971 bringing her southern hospitality and charm with her.  Betty was a graduate of McMinn County High School in Athens, TN.  She worked for Manatee County Public works for 20 years.

Betty was devoted to her family.  There was nothing that she enjoyed more than spending time with the entire family and enjoying a good southern meal which would have to include Fried Green Tomatoes and Okra and of course Banana Pudding.  Her family will tell you that she never met a stranger and had the biggest heart.  All part of her Southern Charm!  She loved to laugh and was always there when you needed a helping hand.
