Betty Marie Ray Condon

October 26, 2014

Betty Marie Ray Condon, 85 of Cantonment, passed away Tuesday, October 21, 2014, surrounded by her family. Betty was born on October 21, 1929, in Casper, Wyoming to the late William and Myrtle Ray.

Betty worked as a floor nurse for many years in local hospitals along with managing several liquor stores. She loved to dance and had many, many friends. She never met a stranger. Betty met the “love of her life” Archie in 1955 while he was stationed in Denver, CO. Not long after they decided to marry in Raton, New Mexico on April 21, 1955. They spent 59 years of their lives together enjoying each other’s company. In recent years, Betty and Archie have been cared for by their loving daughter, Georgette who was the other light of Mrs. Betty Condon’s life.

She was preceded in death by her children, Ethel M. Carmichael and Floyd M. Condon; parents; two brothers, Col. Donald J. Ray and Bill D. Ray; one sister, Juanita Ray Browne.

Betty is survived by her husband of 59 years, Archie M. Condon; two daughters, Georgette (Dean) Harris of Cantonment and Carolyn M. Hensley of Oak Hills, CA; one son, Donald (Maureen) Condon of Shelburne, VT; 12 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.

Betty will never be replaced or forgotten by any person who had the blessed chance to know her. There will forever be an empty spot in all of our hearts. Of all the things missed most it will be her “impatient attitude” and her will to never give up.

Graveside services were held  Thursday, October, 23, 2014, at Barrancas National Cemetery.

Pallbearers were Dean Harris, Brandon Harris, Mike Kight, Toby Hobbs, Jason Bonifay and Ben Cartwright.

Faith Chapel Funeral Home North in charge of arrangements.
