Betty J. Webster, 95, of Butler, formerly of Newport, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at St. Elizabeth Hospice in Edgewood.

Betty retired as a secretary from Healthco, Inc. Dental Supply. Following her retirement, she continued working part-time for Weber Dental Lab for many years, where she enjoyed staying active and connected with others.

Betty found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved cooking, visiting the beach and gazing at the ocean, bowling in numerous leagues throughout the years, dining out, and shopping with friends. Above all, Betty cherished her family. She loved being a mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, and nothing brought her greater happiness than spending time with those she loved and adored the most. Her family was truly the center of her world.

A lifelong member of St. John United Church of Christ in Newport, Betty was also proud to serve as an Ambassador for the City of Newport and was a member of the Rosie Reds.

She was preceded in death by her beloved granddaughter, Leslie Webster and best friend, Kitty Keller.

Betty is lovingly survived by her son, Ron Webster, and her daughter-in-law, Brenda Webster, who was like a daughter to her.
