Betty Purkey Carroll, age 73, passed away August 28, 2021 at University Hospital in Augusta, Georgia. Betty was born on September 16, 1947 in Greenville, Tennessee to Paul and Mamie Ramsey Purkey.

She was an amazing, loving and sweet mom and grandmother. She loved to cook, especially for her family. She loved doing all kinds of crafts but cross stitching was her favorite.
