Betty Jean Maddix, 93, of Monongah, was born in eternal life September 17, 2021, peacefully at her home. She was born on September 15, 1928, the eldest daughter of the late Leroy and Mabel Barton.

Betty retired from St. Barbara's Nursing Home with 20 years of service as a laundry worker. She was a member of Holy Spirit Catholic Church and was a member of the ladies' society. She enjoyed making the Easter Eggs before becoming ill.

Betty was a graduate of Philippi High School, Class of 1947, and married Steve Maddix of Brownton, where they made their first home. Being married to a coal miner meant following the job. Moving from Brownton, they lived a short time in Moundsville, then Glenville, and finally Monongah, where she lived for the last 51 years with her son.

She is survived by her beloved and devoted son, Stephen John, who resided with her. She is also survived by a daughter, Anna Jean and her son-in-law, Frank Rogucki of Glenville; and two grandchildren, Kristi Ann and husband Ken McWhirter of Glenville, Eric Stephan of Glenville; and one great granddaughter, Keely Ann McWhirter of Glenville; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Surviving siblings are Delores Castleberry of Harrisburg, NC, Richard Barton and wife Millie of Philippi, Margaret Swisher and husband Bill of Elkins, Eugene Cool of Morgantown, and Larry Cool of Ohio.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Steve; brothers, Leroy, Frank, and Charles; sisters, Marcella, Willa Mae, and Connie; and a special nephew, Hampton Emerson Castleberry II.

The family extends their deepest appreciation and gratitude to Betty's wonderful neighbors, Bob and Nancy Bouvy for all their help, concern, prayers, and caring. May God bless you both. Also, our gratitude extends to UHC Home Health Care, especially Samantha Rhodes, and to UHC Hospice.
