Betty Sue Daley was born on Nov. 12, 1948, in Carson to J.C. and Ruth Rebecca Dyess Shoemake. 

She attended school at Bassfield and was a cheerleader. 

Mrs. Daley served her community for many years as a beautician, dedicating herself to making others feel beautiful both in life and in passing.

As the proud owner and operator of The Hair Shoppe in Bassfield, she not only styled hair but was also a fixture at Saulters Moore Funeral Home for many years, where she provided comfort to families by lovingly fixing her clients’ hair after they had passed on.

Much like rare gold, many would describe Betty as a true friend.  Always reaching out and doing for others, she found great delight in cultivating a yard full of exquisite flowers and sharing their beauty with all those around her.

A gifted baker and cake decorator, she brought joy to many through her delicious creations and artistic flair. 

In addition, her culinary skills were renowned, with her family eagerly anticipating her famous Cornbread Dressing and Chicken and Dumplings during gatherings, especially Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter

A woman of faith and compassion, Mrs. Daley was a dedicated member of St. Peter Catholic Church in Bassfield.

She served as a Eucharist Minister, lent her voice to the Chancel Choir, and also held a special place in her heart for young people through her involvement with the Christian Youth Organization (CYO) at St. Peter Church. 

Additionally, she participated in the St. Peter team for Relay for Life, embodying the spirit of giving back to her community.

In addition to her parents, Mrs. Daley is also preceded in death by her brother, Dale Shoemake and her brother-in-law, Mark Gautier.
