Betty Skinner Savage, age 86, of Mineola, Texas, passed away on December 4, 2025.

Betty was a lifelong resident of Mineola and deeply rooted in the community she loved. She was born to Harvey and Velma Skinner and was one of thirteen siblings. On December 30, 1961, she married the love of her life, Glenn Savage, at Humble Baptist Church in Mineola. Together, they built a home filled with love, devotion, and a family legacy that continues through generations.

Betty was a loving and supportive wife, mother, grandmother, and “Mamaw.” She cherished spending time with her family and especially enjoyed watching her grandchildren play sports, proudly cheering them on at every opportunity. Betty also found joy in cooking for those she loved. She attended the Mormon Church in Quitman, where she found fellowship and spiritual comfort.

She is survived by her sons, Marvin Savage and wife Pam, and Roland Savage and wife Kathlene; her five grandchildren, Amanda, Lindsey, Steven, Nicole, and Lacey; and her four great-grandchildren, Levi, Savannah, Carter, and Sophia, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
