Bettye Harrison COPE

Bettye Harrison Cope entered into eternal rest on January 18, 2011. She was seventy-two years of age. Born to the late Waymon Harrison Cope and Nona Thomas Cope, she was blessed and was a baptized member of Clark United Methodist Church in McMinnville, TN. Bettye was born at McMinnville Medical Clinic in McMinnville, TN and spent her early years in McMinnville where she was educated at Bernard School. By the age of eighteen, Bettye moved to Nyack, NY where she furthered her career and became a supervisor at Glenshaw Glass Factory, overseeing hundreds of employees. Bettye also worked in the home health nursing care field. The beauty of Bettye lay in the manner she demonstrated her path of life in several ways. It was exemplified through her love of God, her children, grandchildren and her friends. Her true love for her children was as strong as any between a mother and her children. Bettye's love was shown by her deep concern and dedication to all her loved ones. She was honest and will be truly missed.
