Mrs. Betty Doris Strong, 74, of Havana, Florida, peacefully transitioned from labor to reward on Sunday, July 5, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on January 22, 1952, in Havana, Florida, Betty was the cherished daughter of the late John Louis Strong and Annie Vera Strong. She attended the public schools of Gadsden County and dedicated her life to caring for others. Known throughout her community for her nurturing spirit, Betty found great joy in helping those in need and ensuring that no one around her went without a warm meal or a kind word. Her life was a testament to compassion, generosity, and unconditional love.

Betty leaves to cherish her precious memories her beloved daughter, Danielle Bodison; her beloved sons, Deldrion Barber and Lazarus Randolph; and her treasured grandchildren, Mikerria Randolph, Ca'Mya Gurley, and Cameron Nelson.

She is also survived by her loving siblings: John Arthur Strong (Eartha), Freddie Strong, Leon Strong, Kenneth Strong (JoAnn), Linda Strong, Carlton Strong (Helen), Gabriel Strong (Sarah Ann), Ruby Dale Franklin (Sandell), Vicky Strong, and Ricky Strong; her devoted significant other, Samuel Maine; and her cherished goddaughter, Gerenesia Johnson. Betty also leaves a host of loving nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and extended family members who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John Louis Strong and Annie Vera Strong; her brother, James Strong; and her sisters, Brenda Strong and Mary Strong.

Though her earthly journey has ended, Betty's legacy of love, kindness, and service will continue to live on in the countless lives she touched. Her gentle spirit, warm smile, and caring heart will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.

"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed, and very dear."
