Elizabeth "Betsy" Pentecost's Obituary
Elizabeth “Betsy” Pentecost, 72, passed away on Sunday, January 19, 2020. She was a homemaker with many diverse interests and the ultimate supporter of her children and grandchildren.
Until her illness prevented it, Betsy was an active member of Covenant United Methodist Church and a founder of their quilt maker group. Her degree in Zoology from UCLA was only the beginning of a lifelong devotion to helping animals — and people too. Her loving and charitable spirit will be greatly missed.
Mrs. Pentecost is survived by her husband of 49 years, Jim Pentecost, one daughter, Jennifer Sims, one son, James Pentecost, III, three sisters, Kathy, Mary, and Diane, and four grandchildren. A memorial service for Mrs. Pentecost will be held 10 a.m., Saturday, January 25, 2020 at Covenant United Methodist Church, 8350 Walnut Grove Road, Cordova, TN. The visitation will be held one hour prior to the memorial service. The family requests that in place of flowers, a gift can be made to CuriOdyssey Zoo and Playground at Coyote Point near San Francisco. www.curiodyssey.org
