*** IN LOVING MEMORY OF ***
Betty Leah (Puckett) Williams was born on Wednesday; January 15, 1919 in Cedar Rapids; Linn County, Iowa. Betty was the daughter of Ralph and Iona (Maggard) Puckett. She attended Washington High School in Cedar Rapids before moving to Iowa City; Johnson County, Iowa with her family prior to the start of her junior year at City High School. There she became one of the first female cheerleaders in 1935. Following graduation from high school she attended the State University of Iowa where she was a member of Delta Gamma sorority, as was her mother before her and her granddaughter: Leslie, since her. Betty's grandfather, J.H. Maggard helped bring the Olin Kelly Farm Machinery Factory to Iowa City, Iowa located along Sheridan Street in 1899, where he became the factory's general manager. He then brought together a group of investors in the Iowa City Street Car Company linking downtown Iowa City with the Rundell street development group. Betty was a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan, as her brother, Bert "Wilson" Puckett, left WMT radio to become the radio voice of the Chicago Cubs in the 1940's until 1955. A four year courtship to Herbert Stevens Williams culminated with marriage on Sunday; July 9, 1939.

They lived here until 2004 when they moved to Melrose Meadows in Iowa City.
