Betty Lincecum

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Betty Sue Lincecum, 79, of Surprise passed away Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, in Surprise.

She was born April 11, 1934, in Vanduser, Mo., daughter of Chester and Norma R. Campbell. As a child she enjoyed exploring her surroundings whenever she found time alone. When she married Billy Joe Lincecum at the age of 17, Betty Sue continued to explore as they traveled the world together for almost 63 years.

In addition to being a dutiful and devoted wife and mother, Betty Sue could sew and craft together anything she pleased. Cooking, gardening and entertaining came natural to her as well.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by two sisters, Enid Shearf and Jewel Shearf; a brother, Wesley Campbell; two children, Michael and Tina; two grandchildren, Stephanie and Chris; a great-grandson, Dawson; and several nieces and nephews.

There was no service.
