Betty Kaylor Arnold Burton, of Winchester, VA, passed away on Sunday, August 10, 2025, in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.

Betty was born June 24, 1932, in Slanesville, West Virginia, the daughter of the late James W. and Lina Kaylor.

Betty retired from General Electric Company in Winchester in 1988 and was an active member of Sunnyside Presbyterian Church.

She took great joy and peace from tending her garden; each bloom was a quiet reflection of her gentle spirit. She held a deep love for the mountains of her childhood, finding solace and inspiration in the rolling hills of Spring Gap Mountain where she grew up.

Betty and her beloved husband Don enjoyed traveling together, delighting in new places and the warm conversations she always could talk with strangers who quickly became friends. Her love of flowers, adventure, and people enriched her life and the lives of those around her.

Betty was first married to Carl R. Arnold of Burlington, WV, who preceded her in death in 1985. She later married Donald R. Burton on May 17, 1986, and shared a rich life until his passing in 2010.

She was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Janet K. Chaney, and by sisters Deloris Manning and Shirley Hamilton. Betty is survived by her son‑in‑law, Earl M. Chaney Jr.; her stepdaughter, Joan K. Meinert of Nevada City, CA; and her stepson, William R. Burton of Durango, CO.

Her two grandchildren include Berry L. Chaney (Kristy) of Myrtle Beach, SC, and Darlene R. Lepson (Scott) of Cabbage Key Island, FL.

She also leaves five great‑grandchildren: Mason and Grant Chaney of Myrtle Beach, Justin and Jacob Lepson of Cabbage Key, and Briana Burton of Durango, CO.

Betty's family and friends will remember her for her warmth, her welcoming conversations, and the little acts of care that made every gathering brighter. Her legacy lives on in the gardens she tended, the journeys she loved, and the family she cherished.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. at McKee Funeral Home Chapel, Augusta, WV with Brian Bohrer officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior. She will be laid to rest with her husband at Salem Church Cemetery in Slanesville, West Virginia
