Betty “Betty Bette” Lou (Horton) Wallace, age 88, of Glasgow, died Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at T.J. Samson Community Hospital.
She was born July 2, 1935, in Glasgow, Kentucky to the late Charlie A. Horton and the late Edna (Bowles) Horton. Betty was a lifetime entrepreneur who wore so many hats in her community.
