Betty, or “Betty Mae” as most knew her, was a spitfire. She was very active for her 82 years, and was very independent. She was outgoing, talkative, and an honest, straight-shooter. She was also very gentle, motherly, and loving as well. Although she never had any children of her own, she loved her niece and nephews like they were her own, and they say that she was like a mother figure to them. Betty Mae loved fishing, and family get-togethers as well.
Visitation will be Friday, August 30, 2019 from 10 AM until 12 PM Noon at Spring Hill Funeral Home in Nashville. Graveside services will be held at 12 PM Noon in the Historic Spring Hill Cemetery. Nephews will serve as pallbearers.
Spring Hill Funeral Home has been entrusted with the final care of Mrs. Lassiter. 5110 Gallatin Road, Nashville, Tennessee 37216. (615)865-1101. “Where Nashville Comes to Remember.”
