Betty Lue Wallace

Betty Lue Cayton Wallace died peacefully on January 8, 2023 at Hospice in Valdese, NC due to

complications of congestive heart failure. Her life was defined by her warm smile and friendliness to

everyone she met. She lived life her way right up to the time she went into the hospital.

Betty Lue was born May 14, 1937 to the late Wade Kermit and Minnie Mae Cayton. She was also

preceded in death by her infant twin daughters, her daughter Laura Suzette, and her husband Louis

Moore Wallace, brothers Hallet Cayton, Tom Cayton, Ralph Cayton, Larry Wayne Cayton and her sister

Hilda Francis Cayton Burton.

She is survived her son, Perry Lawrence and daughter-in-law Lisa Buckner Wallace, grandchildren Joshua

Lawrence Wallace, Daniel Clayton Wallace and Rachel Marlene Wallace Viers, and great granddaughter

Abbigail Hannah Marie Wallace, and nieces Dawn Humphrey Wallace, Lisa Wright Brosier, and Tina

Burton Keys.

Betty Lue first worked at Wachovia Bank then took time off to raise her two children. She returned to

work in a variety of fields: restaurant owner/manager, real estate agent, mortgage loan writer before

returning to Wachovia Bank, where she retired.

Betty Lue spent her time walking two miles a day, exercising at the Senior Center, and studying God’s

Word with Adult Bible Study Group.

She was avid sports fan. She loved to watch all sports especially Men’s College Basketball and the NFL.

In fact, she was watching the Washington v. Dallas game Sunday and after half time she felt

comfortable that Washington would win so she decided to go ahead and go to heaven.

Dawn Wallace, 1115 Herford Court, Wilmington, NC. Extra parking available at the pool parking lot.
