Margaret (Bailey) Betenbaugh

Mrs. Margaret Bailey Betenbaugh, age 74, wife of Herman Donald Betenbaugh of 306 Deepwater Road, Union, passed away Saturday, June 21, 2025 at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.

Mrs. Betenbaugh was born August 21, 1950 in Whitmire, a daughter of the late Fred Richard Bailey and Alma Harris Bailey.  She was a graduate of Limestone College, where she received a bachelor's of science in business and management and retired from Honeywell as the Corporate Liaison.  Mrs. Betenbaugh was a member of Sardis Methodist Church.  Following retirement she became a beloved Wal-Mart Associate.  Those who knew her, knew her quick wit, her love of gardening and her way with children and animals.  Whenever she saw a need, she was the first to respond.  She met no strangers and left an imprint on others from every walk of life.  Her heart of gold signified her selflessness and caring nature, always going the extra mile to help others. She cherished her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and said she "hit the jackpot". May we find unwavering strength in the memories we have and the legacy she built.

Surviving in addition to her husband of 58 years are three children, Donnie Betenbaugh and wife Crystal of Union, Donna Farmer and husband Scott of Pauline, and Dawn Stoner and husband Stuart of Columbia; a sister, Sue Adams and husband Joe of Union; six grandchildren, Joni Gray and husband Will of Lockhart, Jana Easler and husband Caden of Clinton, Bailey Betenbaugh of Union, TJ Betenbaugh of Union, Maggie Beth Betenbaugh of Union, and Seth Stoner of Columbia; three great-grandchildren, Teally Rein and Marekapers Gray both of Lockhart and Silas Easler of Clinton; and an aunt, Ann Sanders of Union.  She was predeceased by a brother, Marvin Bailey.

Funeral services will be held at 5:00 PM, Monday, June 23, 2025 at Sardis Methodist Church conducted by Rev. Jeff Farmer.  Burial will follow in the church cemetery.  Her favorite color was blue. In her honor, the family asks you to wear blue.
