Betty Sue Wilson Storey
An angel was called to heaven on Saturday, May 17, 2014 as Betty Sue Wilson Storey, 82, of Bridge City departed this earth at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Port Arthur, Texas. Born to be a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Betty enjoyed a full life supporting, guiding, leading, and inspiring her family and friends. She joined us on May 25, 1931 in Jasper, Texas, graduated from Jasper High School in 1948, and made a career out of making the lives of the people she touched so much better.

As a true patriot, she was a pillar of support to her husband throughout his military career and inspired and encouraged her son, grandson, and great grandson to serve their country. Believing in the strength of family, she created, nurtured, and leaves behind a legacy of love.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband and Sailor, Vern Lee Storey, her son, Joe Langston Sr., both of Bridge City, and her brother Bobby Wilson survived by his wife, Jo of San Diego, CA.
