Age 83-Died 12/28/2023

Betty Price, 83, born in Southport, NC, passed away in Raleigh after a brief illness. Betty was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Joseph A. Price, Sr., her parents Royce and Letha Rabon, and siblings, Edna Earl, Jim, and Dick. She is survived by her daughter Monica Bissett (Jay) of Holly Springs, son Joey Price (Vicky) and grandchildren Michael (Holly), Alyssa, Rabon, Brandon (Jessica), Jillian, Cole (Bailey) and Hunter (Zoe). Betty had nine great grandchildren, a sister Laura, as well as special nieces and nephews.

Betty grew up in Winnabow, married and raised her children in Leland. As her grandchildren grew, she and Joe moved to Harrells where they continued to be involved in both church and community. In their remaining years together, they restored a 1910 farmhouse while raising animals, planting huge vegetable and flower gardens; welcoming great grandchildren along the way.

Betty was a well known and much appreciated staff member at Cape Fear Community College from 1970-2001. Students, their parents, the faculty and administration knew just who to call for a prompt, accurate and gracious response.

She was an accomplished seamstress, avid reader and crossword puzzler. She was a strong person that consistently put family and friends’ needs before her own. Those who knew her will miss her quick wit and impeccable humor.

A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at 12:30 pm, March 9th at the Town Creek Community Building, 6420 Ocean Hwy East, Winnabow, NC. Please contact family for details.
