Obituary:
Betty Lou Runyon, 72, of Bradford, Arkansas, passed away Saturday, January 13, 2018 at NEA Hospital in Jonesboro. She was born May 12, 1945 in Fitzhugh, Arkansas, to Thurman Jones and Lottie Wallace.

Her added commentary to each game made each event become more of a spectacle! She loved her PBR, knew all of the stats for every bull and rider in the sport, backed by her exciting commentary. She especially loved cheering on her granddaughter's while playing softball, as long as Bonsai could attend.

She is proceeded in death by her loving husband of 45 years, Bobby Runyon, Sr., her parents Thurman Jones, Lottie Wallace and her Bonus mom, Doris Odom.

She is survived by her son Bobby "Tiny" Runyon, Jr (Angie) of White Oak, TX, Daughter Deana Runyon of Bradford, AR, Brothers and sisters include LD Wallace, Larry Jones, Frank Jones, Lynn Jones, Pat Little, Brenda Dodey, Thurna Spray, Wanda Faye Wilson, Juke Odom, Jess Odom.
