Betty Nell (Riley) Graham, 82, of Beebe, Arkansas, was born October 16, 1932, in El Paso, Arkansas, to James Oliver and Josephine (Colbert) Riley. She went to be with the Lord and to be reunited with the love of her life, Leroy, on Saturday, August 22, 2015. Betty married Leroy at the age of 15 in Garner, Arkansas, and together, they raised four children. Theirs was a true love story. She felt her greatest accomplishment was their marriage and their devotion to one another. She enjoyed family and shared close, special relationships with her sisters. She was a member of Mars Hill Church of Christ, and she enjoyed knitting, crocheting, gardening and cooking.
