May 14, 1933 ~ December 22, 2020
Born in: Daviess County, KY
Resided in:
Owensboro, KY
Bettie K. Hall, 87 of Owensboro, passed away Tuesday, December 22, 2020, under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky Heartford House. Bettie was born May 14, 1933 in Daviess County to the late Max E. and Elizabeth Norris Keller. She was a member of Immaculate Catholic Church but St. Peter’s in Stanley was home. St. Peter’s is where she married the love of her life over 65 years ago and then raised their 7 children.
Who would have thought a larger-than-life personality could fit in such a person. Bettie, spelled with an “ie”, never met a stranger. She was the life of the party and she was always up for a good game of cards, going to the boat, working jigsaw puzzles, garage sales, and always there to cheer for the KY wildcats, the St. Louis Cardinals, and her kids and grandkids. You knew you were always thought about by Bettie as she never forgot a birthday by sending a card or by calling in her cheerful voice singing Happy Birthday or just calling to check on you. She truly loved and enjoyed her friends, but her most important joy in life for her was being a wife and then a mother to her children. Then came her grandchildren and great grandchildren and that was her pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Aside from her parents, Bettie is preceded in death by her husband, Clifford “Kick” Hall, and their baby girl, Amy Beth Young; 8 brother and sisters, John Keller, Leon Keller, Mary Helen “Sit” Bowman, Catherine “Bit” Giblin, Maxine Pfeiffer, Martine Kearns, Beverly “Ish” Rone and Anita “Punk” Mitchell.
She is survived by her two sons, Greg (Nancy) Hall, Sammy (Beth) Hall; four daughters, Tracy (Mike) Cecil, Michele (Tony) Howard, Kelly (Jeff) Husk and Leann (Rodney) Morris and a son-in-law Greg Young; 19 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren.

It was such a pleasure taking care of your mom while I was at Hillcrest. We had some really good talks, she made me laugh, and she even prayed for me/with me on one occasion. She was very special.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Hall Family. Bettie was certainly a special person, one that when you met her you weren’t going to forget her, I am so glad I got that chance and I will assure you I won’t forget her! Prayers and thoughts for t
he family as you go through this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences for a family that never meets a stranger and make some of the greatest friends in your life, a gift they learned from Bettie and Kick. Heaven is rejoicing that the those two have rejoined together and Amy has her parents arms of love with her.
Besser was truly one of a kind. She loved with all her soul. I will always remember her with a laugh or a smile as she always made me smile. Prayers for peace. Love this family as my own.❤
I never had a chance of getting to know Bettie very well but I remember her when I was real young . We would go to there house and had the best time dancing upstairs. I don’t remember everybody’s name but how could I. I was just a kid. Bettie, Sit, Bit,Maxine, Martine,Punk, John, Leon and Uncle Max , and Aunt Lizzy. She was a great cook as I remember. I’m sure I missed someone. I’m sorry for the loss. God bless everyone who sees this.
My dad, cousin Bobby Norris loved her! I’m certain they are having a joyful reunion.😇

To the Hall Family,
I am so sorry to see that Bettie has passed but I know Cliff was waiting for her with open arms! I will keep you all in my prayers. I used to work with Cliff at the bank and had the pleasure of knowing your sweet Mom.
Early memory of Bettie was trick or treating all over Stanley then going to Bettie and Kicks to spread candy out on their kitchen floor and trading. By about 6th grade, Bettie would ask me to spend the night when Kick worked night shift. She would let me stay up late, taught me the jitterbug and twist, and told ghost stories. She was always fun! We love our cousins and are so sorry for their loss. In later years when Bettie moved to town, she would be watching Cardinal baseball when we visited. She loved people, could talk with anyone, sometimes irreverently! Last of a great family, children of Max and Elizabeth. Sure miss that generation. All good people!
Cindy and Kenny Bertram
I have a lot of sweet memories with Bettie and my mom, Margaret Millay. She was always so kind and cheerful. Praying for her kids that they find comfort in Bettie being at peace with Amy and Kick. Hugs, love you all.

Very sorry for your loss but always remember your mom is at peace in heaven with your dad now.
Tracy I am so sorry to hear of your Mothers passing at this difficult time. Prayers for your entire family. 🙏
With deepest sympathy in the loss of your beautiful mother. She was a very special person and loved by many. She touched my life with her kindness and warm smile and was there for me when my parents got their angel wings. God loved her so much He has given her angel wings so she can still touch hearts even though she is in spirit. Prayers and love for all of you.
Traci and Mike,
Since sympathy in the passing of your mom, Bettie. It is never easy to lose a loved one but all moms are so special. Our prayers for you and God’s peace be with you as you grieve during this sorrowful time.
What a wonderful lady heaven has gained! My sincere condolences to her beautiful family she continues to watch over. May she rest in peace alongside her baby and husband.
