ROCKY MOUNT – Betty Ruth Tippette Freeman, age 81, passed away on Monday, July 1, 2024. Born in Halifax County, NC on November 6, 1942, she was the daughter of the late Johnnie Elijah Tippette, Sr. and Vallie Ruth Duke Tippette. She was also preceded in death by her son, Robbie Lynn Freeman; her brothers, Johnnie Elijah Tippette, Jr., McDonald Tippette, and Joseph Rabon Tippette; and her sister, Dorothy Lucille Tippette Adams. Betty was a very sweet, kind, gentle person, who was always willing to help you in any way she could. She opened her home for others to when they were down and needed help. That was just who Betty was. She worked at Walmart for many years at the jewelry counter. If anyone has ever been to Walmart and seen the things that go on in there, well let’s just say, you have to be tough to work there! Betty loved working in the yard and planting flowers the best she could. You can’t say enough about her dog and cats as she loved them more than anything because for years it was just her and them. There are not enough words to express that she will be truly missed.Betty is survived by her brother, Bobby Lee Tippette and wife, Betty, of Raleigh; and many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Betty’s Life will be held on Friday, July 5, 2024, at 12:00 PM in the Chapel of Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home & Cremation Services with Pastor Jerry Braziel officiating. Visitation with the family will be from 11:00 AM to 11:45 AM prior to the service in the Atrium of Wheeler & Woodlief Funeral Home.
