Betty Jean Brinkerhoff, 64, of Glasgow died Sunday, April, 28, 2024, suddenly at her residence. She was born Jan. 28, 1960, in Campbellsville to the Late Bobby Joe and Loretta Wethington Ford. Betty retired from Barren County Public Schools in food services. She loved her flowers and loved springtime. Spring to her was a fresh new start for her to get her hands in the dirt and work in her yard. Betty will be missed by all.
Survivors include her loving husband, James (Jim) Brinkerhoff; her little dog, Gibson; two daughters, Adrienne Degott (Hunter) of Glasgow and Rita Peterson (Bryan) also of Glasgow; four grandchildren, Aubry Degott-Smith, Ada Smith and Gage and Deegan Peterson.

Other survivors include her sister in-law, Carolyn Ford of Elkhorn; and a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her beloved brother, Ricky Joe Ford, on Jan. 29, 2022.
Betty’s wishes were to be cremated. A celebration of Betty’s life is to be scheduled later, with a tree planted in her memory. Hatcher & Saddler Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
