Betty Jeane Oates, 90, of Jonesboro, formerly of Leachville, died peacefully at the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House in Jonesboro Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2019. Betty was born in Caruthersville, Mo., on March 19, 1929, the daughter of Martin and Margaret Medlin. In 2017, following a lengthy but successful battle with cancer, she moved from her long-time home of Leachville to St. Bernards Assisted Living in Jonesboro where she was an active participant in many St. Bernards activities. Her life was forever marked by three loves, her church, her family and the 100s of students she taught during her 36 years as a teacher.
