Bettye Jean Digby Dubee

Bettye Jean Digby Dubee, 91, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 26, 2025. She was born September 16, 1933 in Bernice, La to the late John and Lois Digby.

Bettye is survived by her children, sons Scott of Godley, Melvin (wife Kristine) of Pacific Grove, CA, daughters Vicki (husband Allen) of Moore, OK, daughter Cindy (husband Mike) of Cedar Hill. Grandchildren, Amy Eberhart, Matt (wife Jenn) Eberhart, Amber Eberhart, Morgan Eigel, Katrina Dubee and Helen Dubee Purcell (husband Owen) and great-grandchildren Taylor and Mason Eberhart and McKena and Max Bruggner. She is also survived by two sisters, Catherine Laskowski, Linda Reneau and one bother-in-law Dr. Dan Reneau along with many nieces and nephews she loved dearly.

Bettye is preceded in death by Vic, her loving husband of 68 years, two brothers, John (Bubba) and Fred Lee, and sister Ouida.

Bettye and Vic met and married in Bossier City, LA and lived in a number of places before settling in Arlington, TX. But retirement could not keep them in Texas so they moved to Heber Springs, AR where Bettye loved to craft and Vic fished. Health issues brought them back to Texas to live out their golden years. Bettye will be sadly missed by family and friends whose heart she has touched in all these places.

Funeral service will be held at Wade Funeral Home, Arlington, TX on Friday, August 8. Visitation will be at 9:00AM, service at 10:00. Burial will be at DFW National Cemetery at 11:30.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Bettye’s favorite charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
