Mrs. Betty Jean Stiles Buchanan of Sharpsburg passed away on November 6, 2023. Betty was from Franklin, NC where she met and married the love of her life, Kenneth Buchanan. They moved to Georgia in the early 1950’s and began their lives with three beautiful children- Kenna Jean, Tommy and Neal. Betty was very active in church, spending many of her days working with the youth at Liberty Baptist Church in College Park. Later, she was a member of Sonrise Church in Newnan. Most recently, she became a member of Dogwood Church in Tyrone. She watched the Dogwood services faithfully on television after her health declined. Betty worked for Delta Airlines for 25 years. She was a supervisor in revenue accounting. Upon retiring in 1992, she and Kenneth traveled around the world with lifelong friends. She also enjoyed studying the Bible with Kenneth. She loved to cook and she spent many hours cooking for those she loved. Anyone who walked in her door was soon met with an offer of something she had whipped up. Many a biscuit and gravy were served at her kitchen table. No one went away hungry. Most of all, she enjoyed being close to her family and friends and she was known to many as simply “Mamaw”. She is preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Kenneth Buchanan of Sharpsburg and grandson, Brett Buchanan. Survivors include daughter Kenna Daws and her husband Clarence of Atlanta, GA ; sons Tommy Buchanan and his wife Jan of Vestavia Hills, AL and Neal Buchanan and his wife Lori of Sharpsburg, GA.
