Betty Lee Terry Pace

BETTY TERRY PACE On Feb. 21st our lord received the beautiful soul of this incredible lady. Betty was born in Farmersville,TX 80 years ago to George Lee and Maggie Terry. A proud graduate of Crozier Tech High in Dallas, she became a dance instructor for Arthur Murray studios. For over 50 years she was married to the love of her life, Joseph Charles Pace, who preceded her in death. They have 2 children, Chrisanne Jenkins of Austin and Matt Pace of Houston. She was a fantastic wife and mother. In 1966 they moved to Houston where her lifelong career in the cosmetics industry began. She worked for Joske's as a Cosmetic Buyer and then for Dillard's as a Cosmetic Consultant for Lancome until she retired at the age of 65. Betty ("B") was beautiful, a true character--- a tremendous sense of humor, energetic, fun-loving, athletic, a great cook and party host, always smiling and laughing. Her many friends loved her and she loved them dearly. Always a proud, self-sufficient and determined individual who worshipped her lord; she loved St. Christopher's Episcopal Church where she volunteered at their thrift shop. She adored her 4 grandkids--Justin Jenkins, Brooke Jenkins, Nick Pace and Alle Pace. She had very special and loving relationships with her son-in law, James Jenkins and her daughter-in-law, Gladys Pace. HER LIFE IS TRULY ONE TO BE CELEBRATED. Betty is also survived by her wonderful brother, Bob Terry and his wife Nancy, of Dallas; nephews Robert and Mike Terry; and numerous other relatives.
