Betty Joyce Dick Elliott, age 81 of Science Hill, Kentucky departed this life on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital Hospice Unit in Somerset, Kentucky.

She was born in Hogue, Kentucky on July 17, 1943, daughter of the late Holbert Dick and Neattie Haggard Dick. Betty worked 35 years in the banking industry however, her most treasured time was the 10 years she spent working at Science Hill School as part of the staff. Many, many times she said those were the best years of her life and the very best job she ever had.

Her love for God and her family will truly be her legacy. With a heart full of faith and a deep love for both God and her family, Betty lived a life of devotion, leaving behind a legacy of grace, compassion, and cherished memories that will continue to inspire us all. Another of Betty's loves was Northside Baptist Church. The love she had for this church and congregation were immense. She loved her family with all her heart but her pride and joy were granddaughter, Shyianna Elliott Hoskins and her great-granddaughter, Hensley Ray Hoskins.
