Obituary for Betty Poole
It is with deep sadness and profound respect that we announce the passing of Betty Hanson Poole, a cherished mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and proud United States Veteran, on November 11 at the age of 85. She passed peacefully at her residence in Thomson, Georgia.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 14th at Springfield United Methodist Church, Springfield TN. Address: 511 S. Oak St, Springfield, TN 37172. Visitation will be from 11am – 1pm, and the Service will start at 1pm in the main sanctuary.
Betty was born in Bowdon, Georgia, but lived most of her life in Springfield, Tennessee and Thomson, Georgia. She graduated with a BS Degree in Nursing. Betty served in the United States Air Force for over 20 years, retiring at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. She was stationed at numerous bases, including locations in Germany, Nebraska, Kansas, South Carolina, and Virginia, where she contributed to a variety of key assignments. Her dedication to her work and her leadership in the Air Force earned her the respect of colleagues and the admiration of all who knew her. Throughout her military career, Betty was a trailblazer for women in the Air Force, demonstrating exceptional skills in nursing and leadership. Her service was not only a reflection of her strength and discipline, but also her deep sense of duty to the nation and her fellow service members.
After her military service, Betty continued to inspire those around her through her volunteer work and community involvement. She found great joy in supporting the community through her church (Springfield United Methodist) and various charities. She valued and fostered her relationships with family and friends. Betty had a passion for adventure and was proud to proclaim she had visited all 50 US states and six of the seven continents, always dismissing the 7th, Antartica, as a place she had no desire to visit – Betty was not a fan of cold weather! Within the last five years, she bravely adventured to the Holy Land, Egyptian pyramids and Brazil.
She was preceded in death by her husband Jerry A. Poole; parents, Lloyd and Sibyl Hanson; and her two brothers, Charles Hanson and Barry Hanson. She is survived by her two sons, Clint Poole, and Robert Martin; her daughter, Melinda Chesnut; her sister, Charlotte (Larry) Hinman; and her grandchildren, Hallie Chesnut, Ian Chesnut and Brian Chesnut. She was adored by many nieces and nephews.
Betty will be remembered for her selflessness, courage, and devotion, qualities she embodied in every aspect of her life. She leaves behind a family and community that will carry on her legacy with pride.
