Betty Louise Fosnough, 96, went to be with her Lord on Monday, February 27, 2023, at the hospice home in Fort Wayne. She began her life in Rigdon, Indiana, as the firstborn daughter to Stella and Marion Briles.
Betty graduated from Fairmount High School in 1945. She married George Fosnough in 1947, and they were married until his death in 1999. She was employed by Delta Electric for 30+ years. Betty was a hard worker and enjoyed mowing and keeping up her property north of Marion. After retirement, she and George spent the winters in Florida. In 2020, she moved to Fort Wayne to be close to her daughters. Betty enjoyed playing Euchre, shuffleboard, and visiting with friends. One of her greatest joys was her family, especially her three daughters. She attended Freewill Baptist Church in Jalapa.
Betty was preceded in death by her husband, George; brothers, Maurice and Phil; and son-in-law, Stan Buck.
Survivors include her sisters, Janet (David) McCord and Evadene Turner; brother, Dick (Beverly) Briles; daughters, Karen (David) Leff of Fort Wayne, Kathy Buck of Fort Wayne, and Kim (Rob) Sellers of Tulsa; grandchildren, Jonathan Leff, James (Sarah) Leff, Jessica (Eric) Sussex, Stephanie (Kyle) Thomas, Ashley (Justin) Waterson, Brian (Rebekah) Sellers, and Blake (Madison) Sellers; and 19 great-grandchildren, whom she adored.
