Betty Sandefur

Betty Ann Mink Sandefur, 83, of North Little Rock passed away on November 24, 2021 after battling a long illness. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Betty was born on July 12, 1938, in Newport, Ark., to Buster and Beulah Mink. She was first and foremost a loving mother. Betty cared deeply for her children and loved spending time with her grandchildren. She enjoyed having the grandchildren over for Friday night sleepovers and making pancakes for them in the morning.

When her children were growing up, Betty’s door was always open to the neighborhood kids. Everyone was welcome at her table for a meal and good company. Betty also sang in the church choir at Immanuel Baptist Church in Rose City, and later was a dedicated member at North View Missionary Baptist Church.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband Jim Sandefur, her parents, her brother Sonny Mink, her son Jimmy Sandefur, and her son-in-law Gary Acklen. She is survived by her daughter Kim Acklen; her son Randy Sandefur (Leslie); her grandchildren Jordan Sandefur (Kelsey), Jake Sandefur (Molly Anne), James Sandefur, and Amy Workman (Robert); her great-grandchildren Kelsie Grundy (Austin), Griffin Workman, Savannah Caroline Sandefur, and Opal Jenny Sandefur; a great-great-grandchild Elaina Wren; and her special girls Annabeth Rose, Izzie Duncan, Paisley Faith Rose, and Lyndsey Smith. Other survivors include a host of nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

A special thank you to Elite Hospice, especially Brittney Elsea, for their help and support.

The family will receive friends at North View Baptist Church (6801 JFK Blvd., North Little Rock) on November 29 at 10:00, followed by a celebration of life at 11:00.
