Betty was born on January 8, 1950, in Morehead City, North Carolina, to the late Clinton and Betty Piner. She had a twin sister, Carol Sue Piner, who unfortunately died shortly after birth. Betty loved the Lord and her church, Davis Free Will Baptist, where she was a lifelong member. She attended Lenoir Community College and worked at the Carteret County Tax Office until 1978, and then with Henry’s Tackle Company until her retirement in 2008.

In her earlier years, she enjoyed traveling with her friends and shopping. She loved being outside and working in her yard. In her later years, she enjoyed listening to her Bible on her phone and she always loved babysitting her family’s children. Betty was fondly known as “Eddie” to her great nieces and nephews, who adored her, Corey, Carleigh and Caelyn.

She is survived by her sister, Linda P. Willis of Davis; and Linda’s children, Linda Carol Gillikin and husband Gene of Otway, and Jason Willis and wife Renae, and their children, Carleigh and Corey Willis, of Davis; along with Betty’s great-niece, Alicia Fulcher and fiancé Trey Hardy, and their daughter, Caelyn, all of the home. As well as her brother, Byron Lee Styron and wife Frances of Davis; and their children, Christie Wall and husband Keith, Byron Styron, Jr. and wife Teresa, Mary Snider and husband Steven, Hannah Gunningham and husband Matt, Jonathan Styron and wife Amber, and David Styron and wife Melody. Betty is also survived by her uncle, Burgess Piner of Williston; cousins, Beth Piner and husband Tony, Pam Waller and husband David, Jeff Piner and wife Peggy, Mike Piner and wife Susie, and Greg Piner and wife Nancy; and her lifelong friend, Peggy Willis.

In addition to her parents and twin sister, she was preceded in death by her brother-in-law, Carroll Willis.
