*Obituary
Elizabeth June Maher, 82, of Conway, passed away Sunday, October 28, 2007 at Conway Regional Medical Center after a short illness.
She was born August 1, 1925 at Wilkes-Barre, PA to Frank and Vida Mae Barney.
Mrs. Maher moved to Conway, Arkansas to be with her daughter and family after the death of Mrs. Maher's husband. This gave Betty the opportunity to spoil her grandson, Nathan, who was the apple of her eye. Betty became active at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, running their food pantry where she was affectionately known as "Ms. Betty" to her co-workers, fellow parishioners and clients. Betty had a wonderful, quirky sense of humor that made those around her laugh; she spent many happy moments discussing Seinfeld reruns with her friends. Her daughter, Beth, will miss her Mom the most since they shared many secrets, many laughs and many shopping trips. The two always said that when they headed out in the mornings on a shopping trip, they never knew where they'd end up. Beth's Mom taught her to use the good china every day because every day was special, that the only use for money was to make others happy and that no day was complete without laughter.
Betty was predeceased by her husband, Rev. William T. Maher and her son, William T. Maher, Jr. She is survived by her daughter, Beth M. Knife and husband, Chris Knife; much adored grandson, Nathan; and five surrogate grandchildren, Jayden Knife, Will Shepard, Lindsay Shepard, Christina Shepard and Jim Shepard. A special thanks to Dr. Billy McBay, Dr. Bart Throneberry and the nurses and staff of Conway Regional Medical Center for their kindness, gentleness and caring.
A memorial service will be held at 12:00 p.m. Wednesday, November 14th at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Conway. Arrangements are by Roller-McNutt Funeral Home In Conway.
