Betty L. Roetzelof Sherwood, AR
October 1, 1935 - October 24, 2025
Betty L. Roetzel, 90, of Sherwood, joined her Savior in heaven on October 24, 2025.
Betty was born in Reseda, California on October 1, 1935, to Jacob ''JB'' and Fannie Roberts. She met her husband, Wayne, in November 1950 when she was 15 years old. They married July 10, 1954, and shared an everlasting love for the next 65 years until Wayne's death June 30, 2019.
Betty and Wayne were undefeated champions at least six times aboard numerous Royal Caribbean cruise ships in the Love and Marriage Game. Together they built a loving family and a successful business. Betty was a bookkeeper; however, she was a marvelous cook, hostess, and caregiver to the elderly, grandchildren, neighborhood kids (Steven and Gregory James), or whoever needed her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and sister Mildred Roberts. Betty is survived by her children, Kendall Roetzel (Cheryl) of Springdale and Donna Humphries (Barry) of Sherwood. She was blessed with five grandchildren including Jason Humphries (Jessica) of Murrayville, GA., Jared Humphries (Kristin) of NLR, Stephanie Roetzel of Atlanta, Dr. Holly Agud (Justin) of NLR, and Derek Roetzel (Katie) of Springdale, along with 12 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Betty also leaves a cousin, who Betty considered her baby sister, Jo Anne Farless, of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
