With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Betty Jean Purnell (Chesterfield, Missouri), born in Saint Louis, Missouri, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Betty left this world on April 3, 2025 at the age of 87, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As Betty departs from our midst, her spirit ascends to join the cosmic dance of stars, a shimmering constellation of memories that will forever grace the night sky of the hearts of those who loved Betty. Though Betty may no longer walk beside us, her legacy lives on — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of time and space.
