Born Dec. 25, 1947, she was a daughter of the late Edward Carlson O’Neal Sr and Edna Styron O’Neal.

Betsy was known and loved by many, and her laughter will be missed. Betsy worked at the Island Inn most of her working life, and through those many years made some lifelong friends and touched many lives. She was a member of The Ocracoke United Methodist Church.
In addition to her son, she is survived by her granddaughter, Allyson Maye Midgette, and great-granddaughter, Makenzie Spruill; her grandsons, Thomas Midgette and Garrett Midgette.
Also, a brother, Edward Carlson O’Neal Jr and wife, Stella Spencer O’Neal; and nephews, Edward O’Neal III, Andy O’Neal and Albert O’Neal, and niece, Stephanie O’Neal and their families.
