Betty Skinner Savage, 86, of Mineola passed away on Dec. 4, 2025.

Betty was a lifelong resident of Mineola and deeply rooted in the community she loved. She was born to Harvey and Velma Skinner and was one of 13 siblings. She married the love of her life, Glenn Savage, at Humble Baptist Church in Mineola on Dec. 30, 1961. Together, they built a home filled with love, devotion and a family legacy that continues through generations.

Betty was a loving and supportive wife, mother, grandmother and “Mamaw.” She cherished spending time with her family and especially enjoyed watching her grandchildren play sports, proudly cheering them on at every opportunity. Betty also found joy in cooking for those she loved. She attended the Mormon Church in Quitman, where she found fellowship and spiritual comfort.

She is survived by her sons, Marvin Savage and wife Pam, and Roland Savage and wife Kathlene; her five grandchildren, Amanda, Lindsey, Steven, Nicole and Lacey; and her four great-grandchildren, Levi, Savannah, Carter and Sophia, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
