Betty Ann Touchstone was born to Lula and Theo Wood on April 10, 1942 in Guymon, Oklahoma. She was the youngest of seven children, and later attended Oklahoma Panhandle State University.

Betty Ann and Truman shared 43 wonderful years of marriage and traveled the world together. Family was the most important part of her life, especially as a loving Gran to many. Betty Ann lit up the room with her bright smile and joyful laugh. She had a heart full of kindness, enjoying memories with close friends that felt like family. She loved shopping and all things that sparkle.
