April 17, 1930 — September 5, 2019
Betty Jean Keefe, 89, passed away on September 5, 2019, surrounded by the ones she loved the most. Born on April 17, 1930 in Jacksonville, FL, she was a daughter of the late Wade and Mildred Varns Hammond.
She attended Winthrop University and spent 15 years in the banking industry. She was a dedicated member of Saluda River Baptist Church for the past 22 years. Betty had an eye for all things creative and artistic. She was an avid gardener, a talented seamstress, and meticulously handcrafted porcelain dolls. The true apple of her eye, though, was her family.
