            <text>Our beloved Betty Ragan Call passed away on December 23,2022 in Gallipolis, Ohio, surrounded by family.  She was born on November 12, 1934.  &#13;
&#13;
She is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Buzz Call, whom she married on September 22, 1957.  &#13;
&#13;
Together they had four children Becky (Tim) Godwin, Brenda (Carlos) Caldwell, Beth (Tom) Moore, and Barry (Missy) Call, who all survive her.  &#13;
&#13;
She was so proud of her nine grandchildren Megan Neal, Carrie Wiseman, Lindsey (Tony) Pettee, Ethan (Brooke) Moore, Evan Moore, Colby Caldwell, Cody Call, Cory Call and Carson Call, and her six great grandchildren Addison, Reid, Sophia, Lilly, Ava and Jack.  &#13;
&#13;
She is also survived by her dear sister, Joan Stewart, a sister in-law Sue Ragan, and many nieces, nephews and friends.  &#13;
&#13;
Throughout her life, Betty was known for many things, perhaps most of all her generosity. She always made sure everyone had what they needed.  &#13;
&#13;
She took great joy in decorating each room of her home for Christmas and she loved giving gifts and sending prank packages to friends.  &#13;
&#13;
She enjoyed attending the grandchildren's activities, tending to her flower garden and traveling.  &#13;
&#13;
In town, she would often be seen driving MRSBUZZ.  She was a faithful and founding member of Fellowship Baptist Church.  &#13;
&#13;
Words could never describe our love, and now sorrow, but there is comfort in knowing she's with the Lord and has rejoined her father, Thomas Ragan, her mother Florence Ragan, her two brothers Paul Ragan and Thomas Ragan, her mother-in-law Bess Call and her father -in- law Pete Call.  &#13;
&#13;
There will never be another Betty Call- our cherished wife, mother and grandmother.   &#13;
&#13;
Funeral services for Betty will be 11:00 AM Wednesday December 28, 2022 at Fellowship Baptist Church 600 McCormick Road Gallipolis, OH with Pastors Mark Beaver and Joseph Godwin officiating. Burial will follow in Gravel Hill Cemetery. Friends may call at the church on Tuesday from 4-8 PM and on Wednesday 1 hour prior to services. The funeral service will also be live streamed on the Waugh-Halley-Wood Funeral Home facebook page.&#13;
&#13;
Betty’s grandsons will serve as pall bearers.&#13;
&#13;
In lieu of flowers and in the spirit of Betty's generosity donations can be made to the Gallia County Snack Pack Program, P.O. Box 169 Gallipolis, Ohio 45631 in her memory. </text>
