Betty Joan Harmon, 87, of Lanett, Alabama passed away on July 19, 2020 at Diversicare in Lanett, Alabama. Betty was born in West Point, Georgia on September 30, 1932 to the late Ben and Mary Belle Pilkington Alexander.

Betty was employed at Playtex in LaFayette, Alabama and West Point Pepperell Carter/Lanier Mills. Betty loved to cook and if you got up from her table hungry, it was your fault. She was an excellent baker specializing in cakes. She loved to camp with her husband Jim, especially in the deserts of the western United States. Betty had two poodles at different times and named them both "Sissy". She had been kiddingly accused of loving these dogs more than her own kids.

She was a lifelong Methodist, having been a member of Harrington Heights Methodist Church in Huguley Alabama, and Notasulga Methodist church in Notasulga, Alabama where she taught Sunday School and was treasurer of Missionary Society.

Betty is survived by her sons Roger (Ramona) Hood, Larry (Freddie) Hood; grandsons Drew (Kim) Hood, Kevin (Sylvia) Hood, and Patrick (Anna Beth) Hood; great grandchildren Josiah Hood, Sarah Grace Hood, Polly Anna Hood, and Evelyn Mae Hood.
