Sand Springs
Betty Ann (Wiedemann) Smith, AKA "Gram B", entered her heavenly home on Monday, November 28, 2022, at the age of 81.
Betty, the daughter of Carl Warren Wiedemann and Mary Genevieve (Canfield) Wiedemann, was born on June 7, 1941, in Tulsa. She graduated from Edison High School where she was a member of the Liberty Bells Pep Club. Betty continued her education at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Tulsa where she received a bachelor's degree and was a member and past president of the TU chapter of Tri Delta sorority.
Betty began her career as a professional administrative assistant at North American Aviation, and then with an oil company in Oklahoma City. After spending several years as a counselor and financial advisor at the University of Tulsa, Betty returned to her administrative assistant career at the Sand Springs Children's Home to work with David Allen.
Following retirement, Betty proudly considered herself, "a domestic engineer and professional volunteer". She remained active volunteering at the local school and volunteered with her husband, Howard, at Restore Hope distributing food. Betty was a strong, caring, compassionate, and loving Christian woman. Along with Howard, she was a longtime member of the Sand Springs United Methodist Church. Betty was active in the church choir, women's groups, and helped anywhere she was needed. In addition to her church activities Betty was a member of the Sand Springs Mother's Club and Blue Star Mothers.
Betty's pride and joy was her family, and she proudly attended every event for her children and grandchildren. This included soccer and basketball games for her grandsons, Charles and William, and Las Vegas Youth Symphony concerts for her granddaughter, Madison.
Betty was preceded in death by her parents and brother-in-law, Donald B. Smith.
